more sand to the soil where the young shoots are 
seen to be coming through, for in this way the plant 
can be kept in good health for many years without 
much trouble. 
Campanula cenisia (Alps). 
This rare little Alpine needs special care until 
it is established, and should be planted as near the 
walk as possible, so that it can be easily seen. 
Plant in an elevated position, on a well-drained 
mound with a south aspect, in a mixture of equal 
parts of sand, leaf-mould, and loam, with a little 
grit added as an additional aid against undue 
moisture. A top-dressing should be given, both in 
spring and autumn. The autumn top-dressing 
should be composed of grit only, so that it may 
serve to absorb any moisture that may rest upon 
it during winter, and also prevent snails from 
becoming too well acquainted with the young 
shoots of the plant in spring. 
Campanula mirabilis (Caucasus). 
This species is suitable for the back part of the 
rockery. Plant in an elevated position facing south- 
west, in deep loam and sand. Space should be left 
for the leaves to extend, for if small Alpines are 
too near it they will be smothered by the leaves 
of the Campanula, which expand over ift. in 
length in the season. 
Campanula mollis (Hab.°). 
Plant with a tilt, in a crevice beneath an over- 
hanging stone, facing full south, where the plant 
will be comparatively dry in winter, in poor sandy
