This is so extensive a genus, and containing 
many species so very ornamental, that we have had 
several opportunities of calling attention to them 
generally; still it will be felt as necessary that the 
best of them should be introduced individually, or 
their precise character will be unknown. Some of 
the large and rampant species are fit only for shrub- 
beries and secondary situations ; the small ones 
only for pots or artificial rock-work, whilst a nu- 
merous class present themselves as suitable orna- 
ments for borders, mounds, &c., amongst which 
Campanula barbata may be reckoned. It is less 
leafy in its flower stems than most of those of sim- 
ilar habit, and bearing its bells, as it does, in 
regular order, it becomes as desirable an ornament 
as any of those species which can boast only a 
pale colour. 
It requires no particular attention in culture, 
excepting that in exposed situations a short sup- 
port to its flower stems may be desirable, to prevent 
its being injured.
