 Bellflower). Native. Scottish type. Range 1-2. Woods 

 and hedges. Frequent. Probably nowhere in Britain does the 

 great bell-flower grow in greater plenty than at the Lakes, as 

 for instance in Troutbeck Valley, and about Lowther, Keswick, 

 and Pooley Bridge. Mr. Watson notes it at 350 yards in 

 Mardale, and it ascends nearly or quite as high near 

 Watendlath. Wilson says that at Kendal they sometimes 

 strip the skin off the young stems and eat them like asparagus.
