50 BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



HARDY FLOWER SEEDS— Continued 



Campanula 



One of the most charming- groups of bien- 

 nial and perennial flowers. We list the five 

 most g-enerally grown species. 



The first two are biennials and should 

 be started in the spring or early summer 

 in order to produce larg-e-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 la^t 

 three are perennials and perfectly hardy. 

 They may be started any time from early 

 Spring until September.
