CANTERBURY BEI^I^S (Campanula Median.) 



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



" The seeds should be sown l)y 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 tempo- 

 rarily in rows about a foot apart, the plants eight inches apart, and finally transplanted 

 early in October. 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." 



Calycanthema (Cm;j and Saucer Canterbury Bells). This is unquestionably the 

 finest type of this old-fashioned and much prized garden plant. They differ from the ordi- 

 nary 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. : 



1736 Rose Pink. Delicate rosy-pink 15
