COLUMBINE or AQUILEGIA 
Packet, 200 Seeds... 50c 
This is a very choice strain, the seed plants being selected 
from the famous Mrs. Scott Elliott hybrids and other 
choice strains. 
The graceful long-spurred Columbine is one of the most 
satisfactory of the perennials. It blooms at a time when 
flowers are scarce, helping out greatly on Decoration Day, 
Mothers’ and Fathers’ Days, Commencements, weddings, 
etc. It gives a particularly beautiful lacey effect in baskets, 
combined with Pansies or other flowers, using the Colum- 
bine as a back ground and adding height to the general 
effect, as is shown in the photo above. Columbine works 
up nicely in funeral designs and is also beautiful in the 
garden. It blooms for a long period;—is still blooming 
when the Glads begin. 
Seedlings transplanted in the fall will bloom the next 
season and will become larger and better for several years. 
They do best in partial shade but will thrive also in the 
sunshine. The seed may be planted in the spring, summer 
or fall. If planted in the fall, it would be best not to trans- 
plant until spring, 
Seed-sowing and transplanting directions are the same 
as for pansies. 
Delphinium Seed 
THE PACIFIC STRAIN is pronounced by experts to be the most 
striking advance in Delphinium hybridizing in recent years, and has 
brought fame to its originator, Mr. Reinelt. These fine Delphiniums 
will add much beauty to your garden. Many of the florets are very 
large and exquisitely beautiful. We predict a great future for this 
strain. 
Per packet, $1.00. 
THE WREXHAM STRAIN produces a large proportion of very 
superior plants from seed. They produce tall well shaped bloom 
“spikes with very large florets, many of them being double. The color- 
ing is extremely beautiful. 
Per packet, 50c. 
It takes a little longer for Delphinium seed to germinate than 
Pansy seed, but they should come if the seed is fresh. The fresher 
Delphinium seed is, the better it will germinate, so mid-summer sow- 
ing is recommended. 
Delphiniums have two distinct blooming seasons, sometimes three. 
The blooms should not be allowed to go to seed to secure best results. 
It is well to cut the plants back after a blooming season. Bone meal 
in moderation is good but not too close to the plants.
