RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS, 



>HBiSBEia>HlM^ 



Campanula Medium or Canterbury Bells 



Mrs. Ely, author of "A Woman's Hardy Garden," says: 



"The seeds should be sown by mid-April, in finely prepared, 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 winter covering these plants require. 



Cup and Saucer Canterbury Bells (Campanula 

 medium calycanthema). 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; 

 30 inches. We offer them in separate colors, as well 

 as in mixture, viz.:
