CANTERBURY BELLS 



Campanula Medium) 

 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 thor- 

 ough 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 sum- 

 mer, 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. 



Calycanthema (Cup and Saucer Canterbury Bells). This is unques- 

 tionably 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.:

CARNATION 



■ Carnations are general favorites for their delicious fragrance and 

 richness of colors. They are indispensable, both for greenhouse cul- 

 ture in winter and for the garden in summer. The Marguerite and 

 Chabaud type are the best for summer flowering. PBR PKTt 



1850 Hardy Border Double Mixed. A good hardy strain for 



outdoor culture, flowering the second season and producing a 

 mass of flowers in a great variety of colors. ^ oz., 30 cts. 10

French specialist. Blooms in five months after being sown,

MARGUERITE CARNATIONS 



These are deservedly the most popular Carnations with the amateur, 

 as they begin flowering in a few weeks from time of sowing. The 

 strain offered is of extra fine quality, producing on long, strong 

 stems an abundance of large, double, beautifully-fringed, highly- 

 scented flowers; with slight protection they will survive an ordinary 

 winter and bloom freely the following spring.
