CHOICE CAMPANULAS. 
BY WILLIAM GARDINER. 
=e 11H Campanulas, of which there are a large number of 
4" =6most beautiful kinds in cultivation, form a very im- 
portant class of hardy flowers specially adapted for the 
mixed border. They differ so much in the shape aud 
7 Fis the colour of the flowers, and in habit also, from the 
majority ofthe hardy herbaceous plants, that a selection of the finest 
kinds are indispensable to herbaceous borders having any pretensions 
to completeness. Some possess also considerable value for pot cul- 
ture, as, for example, the Chimney Pot Campanula, C. pyramidalis, 
which is probably one of the most striking flowers we have for the 
decoration of the conservatory and promenade during the late sum- 
mer and autumnal months. The most valuable kinds have also the 
great merit of comparative cheapness, and by far the greater pro- 
portion of those in cultivation can be increased from seed, which also 
is obtainable at a very low rate. Campanulas may, for cultural pur- 
poses, be separated into two distinct classes—the one class to comprise 
the dwarfer-growing forms, such as Campanula fragilis, and O. 
Raineri, which succeed more satisfactorily and appear to better 
advantage when planted on rockwork, or on mounds raised some- 
what above the general level ; and the other, the tall, robust growers, 
such as Campanula grandiflora and Q. pyramidalis. 
The dwarf-growers belonging to the first of the above-mentioned 
classes are not, perhaps, of so much value from a decorative point of 
view as theirmore robust congeners; nevertheless, when planted insuit- 
able positions upon the rockery, they bloom so profusely as to produce 
avery nice effect in conjunction with other subjects. To have them 
in perfection, a ledge, affording them a good depth of soil, and so 
arranged as to catch the rain, must be selected, for they require a 
rather liberal supply of water during the summer season, and when
