PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 
11 
Campanula Grossekii is a most 
excellent plant. Few or many in 
the garden will give a fine effect 
with the purplish lavender, slen- 
der bells. It brightens a shady 
bed, while to plant in mass-plant- 
ing with foxgloves, harmonizes 
well in habit, and continues the 
season of such a bed for months 
after the foxgloves have done 
flowering. About 2 feet high. 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
C. Medium, or Canterbury 
Bell, is a universal favorite, but 
it is biennial and does not flower 
the first year from seed. If you 
buy seed you will wait a full year 
for flowers, and the small plants 
that the florists sell are no bet- 
ter. Why not buy the splendid 
heavily rooted, full year-old 
plants that I sell and have your 
bloom at once. Sit., sun or in 
hot places, with an afternoon 
shade. Soil, any garden loam, 
but, if fairly rich and well tilled 
very much finer results will be 
secured. Prop., seeds and plants. 
PL, October to April. I have 
C. Medium in White, Blue, Rose, 
and Mixed. Very strong, i-year 
plants, $1 per doz.

C. persicifolia is the Peach- 
leaved Bellflower and one of the 
very best of all perennial plants. 
The foliage is mostly at the base Campanula Medium 
and is handsome and an excellent 
foil for other plants. The clumps spread into broad masses and the strong, erect stems, 
producing many large, bell-shaped flowers on stems 2 to 3 feet high, of clear blue or 
pure white, make a superb mass. Plant a foot to 16 inches apart in a well-worked soil, 
in sun or light shade. Let alone for two years as the plants are quite impatient when 
disturbed, and may fail to bloom, or may die, if moved. I have both white and blue. 
Strong clumps, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
C. persicifolia Moerheimei is the double white form, and a most excellent cut-flower, 
as well as fine in the garden. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
C. pyramidalis. The prince of all is the Chimney Bellflower. There are varieties 
which make compact plants 4 to 5 feet high, while others grow as high as 10 feet, with 
a perfect sheet of handsome flowers produced through months of the fall. These are 
very fine in a mass, by themselves, or alternating with perennial larkspurs which they 
admirably supplement. Strong plants potted in spring make superb veranda or 
court ornaments, or household decoration on special occasions. They group well with 
hollyhocks also. 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. Large plants of C. pyramidalis suitable for 
pots, at 35 cts. each 
C. pyramidalis compacta. See Novelties. 
The Harebell of Scotland is C. rotundifolia, and produces delightful little flowers, 
borne freely on many slender stems a foot or so high. A mass of these in late fall is 
among the prettiest of sights and for rockeries they are fine, giving a touch of the Old 
World to our American gardens. They will grow well in situations where other plants 
only exist. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.
