HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS 



13 



CANTERBURY BEI^LS 



(Campanula Medium) 



The seeds should be sown in finely prepared, rich 

 soil, and if the weather is dry they should be given 

 a thorough watering late every afternoon. The 

 little plants should be transplanted to the places 

 where they are to bloom early in October. Some 



evergreen branches, or a little straw or coarse hay, |^V /■ 



thrown over them when the ground begins to freeze, 

 makes all the winter covering these plants require. 



Calycanthema ( Cup and Saucer Canter- 

 bury Bells). This is unquestionably the finest 



type of this old-fashioned and much prized garden plant. They differ 

 from the ordinary 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 effec- 

 tive either in the garden or grown in pots for conservatory or table decoration. 

 We offer them in separate colots, as well as in mixture, viz.:
