CARL PURDY, UKIAH, CALIFORNIA 
BOYKINIA occidentalis has ivy-shaped leaves of a shining green and dainty flowers. 
It does wonderfully well on wet rocks or near water. They are the very best plants for 
a fern-bed to cover the ground under and among the ferns; or for moist places in the 
rock-garden, either shade or sun. If planted 12 inches apart each way they will cover 
all ground. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

CAMPANULAS 
All CAMPANULAS are 
known as Bellflowers, and 
they are flowers that do 
well for everyone — hardy, 
of easy culture, and free- 
blooming. With the ex- 
ception of the Canterbury 
Bells, which live two 
years, they are long-lived 
perennials and respond 
most gratefully to good 
care. Splendid plants for 
window-boxes and hang- 
ng-baskets and the finest 
of plants for the border 
and garden beds. They 
are so diverse that no 
general description would 
be satisfactory. While 
generally hardy in the 
Northern States they 
should there have a winter 
covering of leaves 2 to 3 
inches thick.
