CAMPANULA 123 



produced one on a stem. Carpatica turbinata alba is a 

 pretty white variety. Isabel, White Star, China Cup, 

 pelviformis and Riverslea are handsome varieties of 

 Campanula carpatica with which nobody can go far 

 wrong, especially if they are put where they will not 

 smother smaller plants. All these will grow in sun or 

 shade in well-drained soil on the level. Increased by 

 seeds or division, the latter for the named varieties. 



C. collina (Hill Bellflower). This is one of the most 

 beautiful of the taller Campanulas, found wild in the 

 Caucasus, about twelve inches high. The blooms, opening 

 in July, are violet coloured. It is a true perennial and 

 of the easiest cultivation in common rockery soil. In- 

 creased by division or seeds. 



C. G. F. Wilson. A pretty hybrid Bellflower, raised 

 near Edinburgh many years ago, and to be met with 

 in two forms, one having yellow, the other green leaves ; 

 the latter is the better plant. Both have beautiful 

 drooping bells of deep violet-blue in July. It thrives 

 on the flat in the rockery or may be grown in the 

 moraine. Increased by division. 



C. garganica. Everybody loves this well-known Italian 

 Campanula, a handsome plant with open starry blue 

 flowers in July. It is charming for hanging over rock- 

 work, looks well in the moraine, and thrives in a wall. 

 There are several varieties, and of these hirsuta, light 

 blue, is one of the best. There are also white varieties, 

 and others that differ chiefly in size of bloom. Increased 

 by division or cuttings, also by seeds, if obtainable.
