 (Campanula carpatica) is a small graceful bell- 

 flower of very attractive form and habit. C. frag- 

 iliSj C. turbinata and C. pumila are also worthy of 

 a place in the border if there is room. For the 

 best bell-flower effect, however, C. perscecifolia 

 grandiflora alba, C. pyramidalis and C. medium 

 are the best to use. The two former bloom until 

 quite late in the Summer, but Medium, which is a 

 biennial, is over by the end of June. 



Good perennial CORNFLOWERS are macrocephala 

 and candidissima. Will do well in almost any 

 soil and if started early will flower the first 

 season. 



A very good perennial that grows easily and 

 blooms early in the spring is MYOSOTIS, or Forget- 

 me-not. It likes a cool, moist soil and if rightly 

 situated will bloom all Summer. The bloom should 

 be kept well picked off. It may be started in Au- 

 gust to bloom the next Spring and may be set out 

 with Pansies in the border along the path. Good 

 varieties are alpestris, alpestris robusta grandiflora, 

 alpestris Victoria.
