suits any situation well. CAMPANULA or CANTERBURY 



BELL. Lat. Campanula medium. Fr. Campanule a grosses 

 fleurs, or violette marine. -A very pretty German plant j 

 throws up numerous branches in April and May, gar- 

 nished thickly with long and hairy leaves, and in June 

 and July, blows abundance of very handsome pendulous 

 ffowers, either white or light blue j larger than a com- 

 mon thimble, but somewhat resembling one in shape. It 

 is biennial, and should be sowed every spring either in a 

 hot-bed or not, according to convenience, and then 

 pricked out when it comes into rough leaf. So let it re- 

 main till the autumn, when you will plant it either in the 

 borders or in the pots where you intend it to blow.-* 

 CAMPANULA, peach-leaved. Lat. Campanula persicifolia* 

 Fr. Campanule a feuilles de pecker. The last of the Cam- 

 panulas that I shall mention. It is a native of the northern 

 parts of Europe ; a perennial plant that also sends up a 

 great many shoots in the spring of the year, and bears 

 flowers of the same colours as the last, but some 

 are double and some single, and all are much broader at 

 the orifice than those of the last-mentioned plant, but 

 are shorter in length. Propagate by dividing the roots j 

 or, more tediously, by sowing the seeds as soon as ripe. 

 All these plants are handsome, and should form a part of 

 the collection of every one who aims at having an attrac- 

 tive flower-garden ; and no one of them, but the first, is 

 particular as to soil. 



432. CAMPION, the rose. Lat. Agrostema coronaiifr. 

 Fr. Coquelourde des jardins. A plant originally from 

 .Lyons and Italy, one or two feet high, and blowing 

 a bright red flower from June to September. Other
