NPRETENDING but handsome is this species of the Campa¬ 
nula, introduced into this country from Germany. The stem is 
from two and a half to three feet high, and produces flowers 
that are large and attractive, continuing in bloom from early 
summer until fall. The blossoms are bell-shaped, as in the 
^ other varieties, the distinctive differences consisting in diversity 
of foliage, and dissimilarity off style. Some are tall and stately, while 
others are mere cushions of verdure and flowers. The color of their 
blossoms is usually blue, though sometimes lavender or white.
