 — This is one of the most cosmopolitan of all Campanu- 

 las, and the trui' hairbell or bluebell of literature. In 

 the wild it is slenderer and taller than in the garden. 

 In shady woods it often grows 2 ft. high. The tvpe has 

 a white-fid. variety which is much less popular, but 

 G.C. 18(il : ('.fi8 shows an excellent pot-plant of it. Var. 

 Hdstii, Hort. (<'. ndstii, Baumg.), has larger fls. than 

 the type and stouter stems. The lower stem-lvs. are 

 lanceolate, remotely dentate, the upper linear entire : 

 calyx lobes longer than in the type, a half shorter than 

 the corolla. The white-fld. form is not as vigorous. 

 The most pronounced form is var. soldanelleefldra, 

 Hort. (C. soldandhi, Hort.). Fig. 340. With semi- 

 dotible blue fls. split to the base into about 25 divisions. 

 F.S. 18: 1880. — This curious variation is unique in the 

 genus. The alpine soldanellas are famous among trav- 

 ellers for melting their way through the ice. They have 

 fringed blue fls. The name of this species seems singu- 

 larly in.appropriate until we have sought the root-lvs. 

 in early spring.

 Eu., Orient, N. Asia, N. Afr.— The roots and Ivs. are 

 eaten as a salad. The seeds, which are the smallest of 

 any kitchen garden vegetable, are sown in the open 

 ground in early May either broadcast or in drills. A little 

 sand mixed with the seed gives an evener sowing. Press 

 firmly, and water carefully. Thin out the seedlings if 

 necessary. Water freely in hot weather. A fresh sowing 

 may be made in June, as early sown plants may run to 

 seed. Roots are gathered in October, and may be stored 

 in sand for winter use. Rapunculus means a little tur- 

 nip. Vilmorin-Andrieux, The Vegetable Garden.
