CARL PURDY, UKIAH, CALIFORNIA 
Campanula pyramidalis. The prince of all is the Chimney Bellfiower. 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 very fine 
veranda or court ornaments, or household decoration on special occasions. They group 
well with hollyhocks, also. Large plants of C. pyramidalis suitable for pots, at 25 cts. 
each. i-yr. old, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
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. 15 cts. 
each, $1.25 per doz. 
C. Trachelium is a most 
excellent, strong-growing 
perennial with slender but 
stout stems and many 
pendent, dark blue flow- 
ers. Any garden soil suits 
it, and if planted a foot 
apart each way, any time 
after November 1, it will 
thrive. A sunny or slightly 
shaded situation best 
meets its needs. 15 cts. 
each, $1.25 per doz. 
C. Medium, or Canter- 
bury 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 flow- 
ers, and the small plants 
that the florists sell are 
no better. Why not buy 
the splendid heavily 
rooted, full year-old 
plants that I sell and 
have your bloom at once? 
C. Medium likes moist 
ground yet it is most 
hardy and desirable in 
every garden. 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz. 
CARNATIONS we all 
love, but the Florist's or 
Tree Carnations are poor 
garden flowers. The 
smaller Marguerite Car- 
nations are in the same 
colors and are just as 
fragrant, while they are 
most hardy garden flow- 
ers. Sit., sun. PL, Oc- 
tober to April. Soil, gar- 
den loam and ordinary 
care. Prop., seeds. The 
plant persists but year- 
olds are best. Fine, strong 
plants ready to flower, 
— 60 cts. per doz., $4 
Campanula per sicifolia. Flowers blue or white, bell-shaped per 100.
