Campanula Medium or 

 Canterbury Bells 



The seeds should be sown in finely prepared, rich soil— the colors 

 in separate rows — and if the weather is dry, they should be given a 

 thorough watering late every afternoon. The little plants should 

 be transplanted early in October to the places where they are to 

 bloom the following summer. Some evergreen branches, or a 

 little straw or coarse hay, thrown over them when the ground 

 begins to freeze makes all the winter covering these plants require. 



Cup and Saucer Canterbury 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 

 effective either in the garden or grown in pots for conservatory 

 or table decoration.
