Campanula, see No. 130. This plant is called 
grandis, and it certainly is of noble aspect, 
deserving the title. 
For the contribution of this fine plant we are 
indebted to those diligent novelty-seekers, the 
Messrs. Pope and Sons of Handsworth, whose 
catalogue of hardy herbaceous plants ranks amongst 
the first ill the kingdom. The Campanula pyra- 
midalis is known to most persons as a fine window 
ornament ; and although the new species now 
introduced to notice is not likely to run to the 
extent of stem as the pyramidal one always does, 
still, as its flowers are much finer, and of deeper 
colour, than those of that plant, it may make a 
pleasing substitute for it, and be very acceptable 
to the admirers of the older species. Their gen- 
eral characters bear some resemblance to each 
other, but our newly-introduced species will 
demand much less nursing than its lofty compeer. 
As far as the last winter’s experience has afford- 
ed proof, this plant is perfectly hardy, and grows 
luxuriantly in the borders; admitting a division 
of its roots for increase.
