Campanula, a little bell. Glomerata, brought into 
a heap, from its head of flowers, which is often more 
crowded than is shown in our specimen. 
This species, as well as a white variety, which is 
not uncommon, is desirable, from its unobtrusive 
growth, its habit of free flowering, and the little care 
demanded in its cultivation. 
* 
There are not less than between seventy and 
eighty distinct sorts of Campanula, nine of which 
are British. It is a tribe of herbaceous plants that 
is extremely attractive, and some of them exhibit a 
fine depth of colouring. But as the seasons have 
dispelled all their beauties, we can now only admire 
their images in the efforts of the artist. Thus our 
gaieties, with revolving time, rise to decline ; and de- 
cline, to rise again ; and we contemplate with wonder, 
the greatness and the goodness which they invariably 
display, exclaiming with the inimitable Thomson : — 
“Nature! great parent! whose unceasing hand 
Rolls round the seasons of the changeful year, 
How mighty, how majestic are thy works ! 
With what a pleasing dread they swell the soul ! 
That sees astonished ! and astonished sings !” 
Ilort. Kcw. 2. v. 1, 349.
