of a border, especially where the edge is of stone ; though it is just tall 

 enough to show up well over a stout box-edging. 



The biennial Canterbury Bells are well known and in every garden. 

 Their only disadvantage is that they flower in the early summer and then 

 have to be cleared away, leaving gaps that may be difficult to fill. The 

 careful gardener, foreseeing this, arranges so that their near neighbours in 

 the border shall be such as can be led or trained over to take their places. 

 It should not be forgotten that the Canterbury Bell is an admirable rock 

 or wall plant, where the size of a rock-wall admits of anything so large. 

 The wild plant from which it came has its home in rocky clefts in 

 Southern Italy.
