AQUILEGIA AKITENSIS KURILENSIS 
AQUILEGIA—Columbine 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine) —Will thrive in almost any soil and 
location, although they prefer a sandy loam and a moist 
but well drained position in the sun. Their presence serves 
to lighten up a stiff or formal planting, for no other plant 
has so airy a grace. They are also very generous with their 
blooms and the taller sorts make excellent cut flowers. The 
round-lobed foliage is most attractive. Space the dwarf 
kinds about 6 to 8 inches, the tall varieties about 12 to 
15 inches. 
*akitensis kurilensis—Truly one of the finest of the dwarf 
species with very large, blue flowers, cream-tipped in the 
center, on 6 to 8 inch stems. Mid-Spring. 60c and 85c. 
*¢anadensis nana—Compact, rounded, bushy plants, about 10 
inches high, smothered with dainty yellow flowers which 
have bright red spurs. Mid-Spring. Each 50c, three $1.40, 
six $2.50; large size, each 75c. 
longissima—Native of Texas and Mexico. Large yellow flow- 
ers with long spurs, 4 to 5 inches long, always hanging 
down, on 2 to 3 foot stems. Very rare in cultivation. A 
hardy, unusual Columbine for Summer bloom. 75c and 
$1.00. 
*pyrenaica—The easiest and best of the dwarf Columbines. 
Leaves are small, neat and rather lacy. Flowers large, of 
a rich blue, with a gorgeously contrasting central tassel of 
gold. Prefers a rather stony, light and open limy soil. From 
6 to 8 inches high, and blooms after other Columbines are 
through in late Spring and early Summer. Pots, 75c and 
$1.00. 
ARABIS—Rockcress 
ARABIS (Rockcress) —Very hardy, requiring plenty of sun and 
thriving even in poor soil. Should be sheared back severely 
immediately after blooming. In early Spring Arabis are 
solid mats of bloom. Plant about 8 inches apart for best 
results. 
*albida carminea—We have discontinued Rosabella in favor of 
this robust variety. It is a deeper pink, almost carmine, 
and long-lived. A very bright splash of color over gray- 
green carpets on the first, warm, Spring days. 6 in. Each 
60c, three $1.60, six $3.00; large size, each 85c. 
*“albida fl.-pl. (formerly alpina fl.-p!l.) —Gray green foliage and 
double white flowers on 8 inch stems. Excellent as a cut 
flower with Primula, Heuchera, Violas, etc. Not new but 
. very satisfactory. Each 50c, three $1.40, six $2.50; large 
size, each 75c. 
*albida variegata—Foliage edged with light yellow or white. A 
bright spot in your garden 12 months of the year. Must 
have a lean soil. White flowers on 6 inch stems. 50c and 
13¢. 
*Ferdinandi-Coburgii—Makes neat mats and carpets of dark, 
evergreen foliage, covered with white flowers in Spring, 
and provides year-long interest by its deep, emerald color. 
6 in. We recommend this both as a specimen plant and ~ 
as a groundcover. Each 60c, three $1.60, six $3.00; large 
size, each 85c. 
Please Note—Other Arabis are listed in ‘‘Distinctive Hardy Plants 
for the Collector’s Garden’’. 
ARENARIA—Sandwort 
ARENARIA—Dwarf creeping plants, for carpeting sunny spots 
and poor, open soils. Very attractive when planted 6 to 8 
inches apart in masses. 
*laricifolia (formerly gracilis) —A useful plant because it will 
tolerate dry, lean soils. Mounded and matted, fine, dark 
green leaves with abundant white flowers on 8 inch stems 
in early Summer. Each 50c, three $1.40, six $2.50; large 
size, each 75c. 
- *montana—Trailing habit, forming mounds 6 to 8 inches 
high, covered with large white flowers from mid-Spring to 
early Summer. A really showy species. 50c and 75c.
