Seed may be sown in the open ground early in spring, and will, in some cases, bloom the same season; or they may be planted in August or September, and wiU come up early in spring and make vigorous plants, which will bloom abun- dantly during late spring and early summer. Columbines should be planted wherever their presence wUl serve to lighten up a too stiff and formal planting, for no other plant has so airy a grace as the Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, or more effectively adapted for cut flowers.
