HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—FLOWER SEEDS 43 
——_——— 
CANTERBURY BELLS. 
(Campanula Medium.) 
The seeds may be sown any time during the early 
summer, in finely prepared rich soil. As soon as 
large enough to handle, the little plants should be 
transplanted to the places where they are to bloom 
the following summer. Some evergreen branches, 
or a little straw or coarse hay, thrown over them 
when the ground begins to freeze, makes all the 
winter covering these plants require. In the spring 
alittle fine manure and some bone meal should be 
dug about each plant. 
Calycanthema (Cup und Saucer Canterbury Bells), This is un- 
questionably 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 cclor as the flower, giving the appearance of a cup and saucer. 
We offer them in separate colors as well as in mixture, viz: PER PKT.

1734 Double-flowering Cup and Saucer. A new race from a celebrated 
French Hybridizer. The double blossoms appear like three flowers placed 
one inside the other. These are produced freely in all the colors found in 
Canterbury Bells. About one-half of the seedlings may be expected to 
come true to type...... SOOT Oo COUT CUE SHO CUTS MoO mee meme Bla aoc 25

CINERARIA. 
Seed should be sown from May to September for succes- 
sion. Where only one sowing is made, July should be pre- 
ferred, Cinerarias grow so freely that the seedlings may go 
straight from the seed-pans to thumb-pots. After transplant- 
ing, place in a cold frame facing north, if possible. When 
the pots become full of roots, shift into larger ones till the 
flowering size is reached. Our prize strain is justly celebrated 
for all good qualities, being especially noted for size, coloring 
and texture,

the house and conservatory, and especially so for 
church decoration; also useful for cutting.......... 25
