blue, large, in terminal leafy racemes, 

 2 or 3 together, sometimes solitary ; 

 calyx very hairy. Leaves, lower ones 

 heart-shaped, on long stalks ; upper 

 ones oblong, stalkless. There are three 

 desirable varieties in cultivation C. 

 Trachelium alba, single white, C. Tra- 

 chelium alba plena, double white, and 

 C.Trackelium plena, the double variety 

 of the common form. Europe, Britain, 



and Asia. Borders and shrubberies, 



in any soil. Division and seed. 



Campanula turbinata ( Vase Hare- 

 Mi). A. sturdy little kind, 3 to 8 in. 

 high with very handsome flowers, huge 

 for the size of the plant. Flowers, in 

 summer ; deep purple, nearly 2 in. 

 across, cup-shaped. Leaves, rigid, of 

 a greyish green, toothed and pointed, 

 with heart-shaped bases, in stiff tufts, 

 2 to 3 in. high. Mountains of Tran- 

 sylvania. The rock-garden, mar- 

 gins of mixed borders, and naturaliza- 

 tion on bare sunny banks and slopes 

 in light soiL Seed and division. 



Campanula Wanneri( Wanner' s ffare- 

 Je$). A distinct and handsome Hare-

 toothed, the lower ones decurrent on 

 long leaf-stalks. Native of Transyl- 

 vania and the Banat Alps. The

 stems, 4 to 9 in. high. Flowers, in 

 summer ; pale blue, bell-shaped,

 Seed and division. 



Cardamine latifolia (Broad-leaved C.) 

 Resembling our Cuckoo Flower ; 8 

 to 16 in. high. Flowers, in summer ; 

 large, lilac, in corymbs ; sepals oval, 

 loose, one-third the length of the petals. 

 Leaves, rather thick, usually fringed, 

 pinnate, all having a very large, 

 roundish, terminal segment, sinuated, 

 and frequently heart-shaped at the 

 base ; lateral segments oval or rounded, 

 gradually diminishing, 6 or 8 in num- 

 ber on the leaves of the middle of the 

 stem, and only 2 on the upper leaves.

banks of streams. The bog-bed, 



moist spots near rockwork, and on 

 borders. Division and seed. 



Cardamine pratensis (CucTcoo flower). 

 One of our commonest and most 

 admired wild-flowers, 9 to 18 in. high. 

 Flowers, in spring and early summer ; 

 pink, white, or purplish, in a terminal 

 cluster. Leaves, pinnate ; divisions of 

 the lower ones roundish ; of stem ones 

 narrow, lance- shaped, entire. There 

 is a double variety. Europe, Northern 

 Asia, and America, also common in 



Britain. The single kind is too 



common to need cultivation ; the 

 double kind is a pretty subject for 

 the spring garden and for borders. 

 Division.

 leaved C.) Six inches high. Flowers, 

 in early summer ; white, small, in a
