Aquilegia - Columbine 
This graceful Hardy Perennial is an ideal plant for partially shaded borders, As a cut 
flower it is noted for its beauty of form and richness of color. 
CULTURE. Columbines, especially the long-spurred hybrids, thrive in a light soil, loose 
and fibrous, provided by adding peat and well-decayed manure. When planted in partial 
shade, the flowers develop better, grow larger and last longer. Easily raised ffom seed.
