CANTERBURY BKI.1^. 



Mrs. Ely, author of "A Woman's Hardy Gar 

 den," says; 



'The seeds should be sown by mid-April, in finely pre- 

 pared, rich soil — the colors in separate rows — and if the 

 weather is dry, they should be given a thorough watering 

 late every afternoon. By the 15th of July the little plants 

 should be transplanted, either to the places where they are 

 to bloom the following summer, or else they may be set out 

 temporarily in rows about a foot apart, the plants eight inches 

 apart, and finally transplanted early in October. Some ever- 

 green branches, or a little straw or coarse hay, thrown over 

 them when the ground begins to freeze, makes all the win- 

 ter covering these plants require. In the spring a little fine 

 manure and some bonemeal should be dug about each plant, 

 and the stalks of bloom, which, if well cared for, will be 

 nearly three feet in height, should be staked. If the flowers 

 are cut immediately upon fading, the period of blooming 

 can be prolonged to about six weeks." 



Calycanthema ( C'/p ami Saucer Canterbury Bells). This is 

 unquestionably the finest type of this old-fashioned and much- 

 prized garden plant. They differ from the ordinary type in 

 having an extra large calyx, which is of the same color as the 

 flower, giving the appearance of a cup and saucer. They are 

 effective either in the garden or grown in pots for conservatory 

 or table decoration. We offer them in separate colors as well 

 as in mixture, viz. : per pkt.
