FIvOWER SEED NOVELTIES. 



^VONDERFUL BEI.I.FI.OWER. 



Campanula Mirabilis. 



5369 Following is the description given by the introducers : " Without any 

 doubt the most beautiful of all Bellflowers known. It belongs to the 

 class of C. Medium, but has no resemblance whatever to any of the 

 Campanulas cultivated up to the present day. Being densely branched 

 from the bottom, it forms a low )jyramidal bush of about 2 feet in diam- 

 eter; each branch, even the smallest, produces a great number of large 

 flowers of a pale blue or lilac color. The plants, when in full bloom, 

 present a regular flowering pyramid of at least a hundred blossoms open 

 at the time. The singular leaves are hard and leathery, garnished with 

 , thin and sharp teeth at their edges." 



The discoverer says further in his description that " Words cannot 

 describe the extraordinary beauty of this plant." Per pkt. 85 cts., 3 

 pkts. for $1 00.
