long stems for cutting. Columbines thrive in 
partial shade and under trees, give a bright 
colorful note to the garden and have a long 
blooming season. Be sure to include a few 
clumps of these with your delphinium order— 
they should both be planted at the same time. 
Balled, l-yr. clumps.

two would be alike. Early shipment of plants

February and continues through March during 
the blooming season. We suggest early plant- 
ing where climate permits. 4 for $3.00;
