ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PLANTS 253 



Blooms very freely in July and August. A glorious Campanula, 

 than which there is none better grown, and very few, if any, as good. 

 Readily increased by division. There is a variety of it named 

 Kewensis, which claims to be larger and of a more gorgeous violet- 

 purple, and altogether a superior plant. I have not seen it myself, 

 but if it answers the description, it must indeed be something to 

 rave about. 



C. pusilla. — Very like C. caespitosa^ but of rather dwarfer habit. 

 Pendulous, pale blue, bell-shaped flowers. Leaves glossy, toothed, 

 and heart-shaped. Blooms in June and July. There is a white 

 form, alba . 3.nd pallida, a variety with even paler blue flowers. All 

 three are of easy culture and very pretty plants. Increased by 

 division. 



C. Raineri. — Needs a sunny chink in strong, gritty loam. Rare, 

 dwarf-growing species, with large, erect, dark blue, funnel-shaped 

 flowers. Easily grown, and a very good plant for a dry spot. Slugs 

 are very fond of it. 



C. rotundiflora. — The common native Harebell, but, though 

 common, is well worthy of a spot in the less choice parts. There 

 is a white form, alba, which is a good thing, and also one, 

 C. r. soldanelli flora plena, which is particularly attractive. 



C Staftsfieldi. — Likes rather a shady or half-shady spot in well- 

 drained loam. Forms compact little plants with hairy, yellow- 

 tinted foliage, and clear blue, bell-shaped flowers. Quite hardy, and 

 easily grown. It dies down during the winter. Readily increased 

 by division. Quite in the front rank of dwarf Campanulas. 



C. Tommasiniana. — Rather a bushy-growing httle plant, about 

 8 inches high, with spikes of pale blue, pendulous, tubular flowers. 

 A particularly good species. 



C. turbinata. — Dwarf-growing plant, with greyish-green leaves 

 and solitary, salver-shaped flowers i^ inches across, of a deep blue 

 colour, borne on erect stems about 6 inches high. Quite hardy, 

 and easily grown. A good plant. Also known as C. carpatica 

 turbinata. 



C. t. Isabel. — Is a good variety, with large, rich blue flowers. 



C. Waldstei7iiana. — A neat little plant, growing about 6 inches 

 high. Flowers star-shaped and bright blue, with a white eye, borne 

 on wiry stems clothed with narrow leaves. One of the easiest to 

 grow and best of Campanulas. 



C. Zoysii. — Forms dense little tufts, about 3 inches high, of tiny 

 ovate leaves. Flowers drooping, bright blue, tubular, and curiously 

 contracted at the mouth. Blooms in June, and very freely. Quite 

 easy to grow in a sunny chink in gritty loam. A most delightful 

 little plant, but beware of slugs and snails, for they will come any 

 distance to feast off Campa7iula Zoysii.
