BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



HARDY FLOWER 

 Campanula 



One of the most charming groups of bien- 

 nial and perennial flowers. We list the five 

 most generally grown species. 



The first two are biennials and should 

 be started in the spring or early summer 

 in order to produce large-size plants for 

 blooming the following year. Plant perma- 

 nently on high, well-drained ground, so that 

 water does not lie on and rot crowns of 

 the plants during the winter. The last 

 three are perennials and perfectly hardy. 

 They may be started any time from early 

 Spring until September.
