168 TRINITY TIDE? 



JUNE 16. SS. JuLiTTA and Quiricus, mm. a.d.304. 



St. John Francis Regis, confessor. 



SS. Ferreolus and Ferrutius, martyrs. 



St. Aurelian, bishop and confessor. 



Obs. St. Julitta and her son Quiricus, who was an infant of 

 only three years old, suffered martyrdom about the year 305 at 

 Silencia, Alexander being then governor. Two maids, having 

 privately buried the remains of the two martyrs, are also named in 

 the Roman Martyrology on the 16th of June. 



Moss Province Rose Rosa muscosa full flower. 

 Lesser Garden Bindweed Convolvulus tricolor fl. 

 Venus' Lookingglass Campanula Speculum flowers. 

 Canterbury Bells Campanula Medium flowers. 



The Canterbury Bells are well known purplish blue or pale 

 flowers in our gardens ; they were formerly called Our Lady's Gloves, 

 Coventry Bells, and in French, la Cloche, la Clochette, les Gands 

 de Notre Dame. This plant is a native of Europe and Japan. At 

 Paris these plants are called Mariettes. 



Venus' Lookingglass is an annual, and may be made to flower 

 from now to the end of summer. Millar mentions seventy eight 

 kinds of Campanula, of which it will be suflicient to specify only 

 some of the most desirable. Venus' Lookingglass has a brilliant 

 purple flower, but sometimes white. This plant takes its name from 

 the glossiness of the seeds. It is also called Corn Gilliflower and 

 Corn Pink ; in French, fliiroir de Venus, but at Paris, la Doucette ; 

 in Italian, Specchio di Venere. It is a native of the south of 

 Europe. Plants sown in the autumn will flower in May, a month 

 earlier than those sown in the spring. The seeds may be sown 

 about an inch asunder; the earth should be kept moist, and the plant 

 should remain in the open air. 



The Campanula Pyramidaiis hereafter to be noticed is a species 

 of Campanula which is trained to conceal fireplaces in the summer, 

 and has a very pretty effect when so used. It is the Pyramidale des 

 Jardlns of the French. The roots send out three or four strong up- 

 right stalks, which grow nearly four feet high, and are garnished 

 with smooth oblong leaves, and an abundance of large blue flowers. 



The names Campanula and Cloches are evidently suggested by 

 the bellshaped flowers of this plant, which both in their form and 

 manner of distribution remind one of the rows of bells forming the 

 carillons of some of the Scottish and Flemish steeples.
