large size, the colour being a rich shining purple- 
blue. This is generally claimed to be a hybrid, 
although no definite information regarding its actual 
parentage seems to be forthcoming. We may, 
however, content ourselves with the fact that it is a 
remarkably fine plant, and worthy of a prominent 
position where its handsome bells may be seen to 
full advantage. C. persicifolia and its several 
varieties are general favourites. Rising to two or 
sometimes over three feet in height, the spikes of 
large cup-shaped flowers, whether dark or light 
blue, or pure white, are very showy, and they make 
excellent decorative material when cut. The variety 
Moerheimi is a fine pure white, with semi-double 
flowers, Newry Giant being of similar character 
but even larger and more effective. A recent intro- 
duction named Telham Beauty is the finest of all 
the persicifolia type yet brought into cultivation, 
not only in size of bloom, but pleasing shade of blue. 
We cannot name all the varieties of Campanula, the 
list in some specialists' catalogues far exceed a

may well note in addition to those already named 
any of the following : — C. lactiflora, a bushy-growing 
plant with loose panicles of small flowers, creamy in 
ground colour, with an overwash of delicate blue. 
C. sarmatica, with pale blue nodding flowers. 
C. Alliariaefolia, with racemes of elongated white 
flowers. This species may be easily raised from 
seed. C. glomerata dahurica, of close-growing habit
