Columbine or rogutlegia... 
Packet, 200 Seeds... 50c 
This is a very choice strain, the seed plants being se- 
lected 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, wed- 
dings, etc. It gives a particularly beautiful lacey effect in 
baskets, combined with Pansies or other flowers, using the 
Columbine as a background and adding height to the gen- 
eral 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. It does 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 transplant until spring. 
Columbine plants lose their leaves during the winter but will 
come again early in the spring. The plants live for many years, 
growing larger and blooming profusely. In some places it may take 
two years for them to start blooming but they are worth waiting for. 
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.

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 reeommended. It takes two years for Delphiniums to be at 
their best and they will live several years. They lose their leaves 
during the winter. 
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,
