for the purpose, viz. Campanula, Dianthus, Peut- 
stemon, Phlox, Potentilla, Verbena, Iris, Lilium, 
Pceonia, Rosa, Rhododendron. And that such cul- 
tivators may be properly distinguished amongst 
those who do not aim at perfecting any one genus 
or family of plants, we shall here propose a title 
also, which may be conferred upon them, and 
by which they might bear honourable distinction 
amongst their contemporaries. The Latin lan- 
guage has already furnished us with the names 
Horticulturist and Floriculturist, therefore for those 
who collect together, and cultivate, complete ge- 
nera, we propose the title Genericulturist; and we 
trust that many will step forward to claim the 
dignity here offered them. 
There is not, perhaps, in the whole genus Cam- 
panula a plant of neater and more pleasing growth 
than the species now under notice. Sweet suggests 
that it may be planted as an edging to the parterre; 
and its neat tufted habit, and abundance of showy 
flowers, certainly make it suitable to such use. At 
present it may be called a scarce plant, but there is 
no evident reason why it should be so, being, as it 
is, quite hardy excepting, perhaps, in wet, tenacious, 
or stiff, soil. It may be kept in pots; and then 
should be potted in peat, mixed with a little loam 
and sand, and well drained by a deep layer of small 
potsherds, at the bottom of the pots. It will, how- 
ever, grow finer, and increase faster, if planted out 
in a peat bed, where its underground stolens have 
room to spread without the restriction of pot impri- 
sonment. Caution should in such case be used to 
prevent injury by hoeing and digging.
