of the greenhouse, &c. The Cape or scented -leaved 
kinds are generally grown quite naturally, 
Campanula isophylla alba.— This pretty little trail- 
ing plant is well worthy of a place in the greenhouse. Its 
slender drooping stems, small round leaves, and masses 
of pure-white flowers unite in making it a most valuable 
plant. 
It is propagated very readily by cuttings. After 
flowering, the plants may be cut over, when they will 
very speedily send up large numbers of young shoots 
from the crown of the plant. When about 2 in. long 
these young shoots may be taken off to make cuttings. 
The leaves at the base should be cut off, and the shoot 
cut through just below a joint with a clean, sharp knife. 
In the meantime a compost of sand and leaf mould in 
equal proportions should be made up, then well-drained 
4-in. pots should be filled to within in. of the top with 
the compost, the latter made firm, and the cuttings in- 
serted 1 in. apart round the side of the pots. They 
may then be placed in some shady place, when rooting 
will very soon commence. 
When the cuttings have made some growth, and have 
rooted well, they may be potted into 4-in. pots. Thus a 
4-in. potful of cuttings may be divided into three clumps 
or plants. The soil or compost used for this potting 
should consist of 3 parts of good fibrous loam, 1 part of 
leaf mould, with enough sand to keep the whole open or 
porous. After potting, the plants should be placed near 
the glass to keep them sturdy. They must be shaded 
on bright days, and watered carefully until the roots have 
started well into the new soil. As growth proceeds it
