DREER'S CANTERBURY BELLS 



(Campanula Medium) 



Illustrated on the plate opposite, 



Among the many subjects flowering in late May and June the old-fashioned 

 Canterbury Bells are among the showiest and most effective. 



Planted either in clumps of a few plants or in great masses their bold spikes 

 of showy flowers in dainty tones of rose-pink, blues and whites of unsurpassed 

 purity, make them one of the most prominent features of the garden. 



They usually last in bloom from four to five weeks, which can be prolonged 

 by pinching out the flowers as soon as they fade. As cut flowers for house 

 decoration they are invaluable, having surprising lasting qualities. 



We offer strong plants that will bloom this season in rose-pink, blue, white or 

 mixed. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
