Candytuft 



very ornamental plants of semi-tropical 

 appearance, very desirable for grovips and in masses. 

 Plants branching from the I'oots, with very large, broad leaves, pro- 

 ducing clusters of large flowers of varied and brilliant colors from 

 August until cut down by frost. 



Sow seed indoors in February in light, sandy soil, first cutting 

 a small notch through the hard outer coat with a knife or file, 

 care being taken not to cut into the germ. Cover with one-half 

 inch of fine soil. Keep the soil moist and the temperature averaging 

 60° F. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost is over, prefer- 

 ably in very rich soil, giving each plant two feet of room. Tender 

 annual in the open ground, or tender perennial in the greenhouse. 

 Finest Large Flowering Mixed. Plants comparatively dwarf, about 

 three feet high. Oz. 35c Pkt. 10c. 



{Campanula medmm) 

 Handsome, easily grown 

 herbaceous plants of 

 stately branching growth and profuse bloom for beds and back- 

 grounds. They produce long racemes of strikingly effective bell- 

 shaped or saucer-shaped flowers of rich color. Leaves sessile, 

 lanceolate. Usually grown as a hardy biennial, but if seed is sown 

 very early indoors it may be treated as a tender annual. 



Sow seed outdoors early in spring in rows about two feet 

 apart covering with about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly 

 pressed down. The plants succeed best in light, rich soil with good 

 drainage and in the fall should be transplanted or thinned to 

 eighteen inches or two feet apart and given some protection in 

 severe winter weather. Height of plants, from two to four feet.
