averaging 60° F. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost is over, preferably in very rich soil, giving each plant two feet of

Canterbury Bell “°S- 
baceous plants of stately branching growth and profuse 
bloom for beds and backgrounds. They produce long 
racemes of strikingly effective bell-shaped or saucer¬ 
shaped flowers of rich color. Leaves sessile’, lanceolate. 
Usually grown as a hardy biennial, but if seed is sown very 
early indoors it may be treated as a tender annual. 
Sow seed outdoors early in spring in rows about two 
feet apart covering with about one-fourth inch of fine soil 
firmly pressed down. The plants succeed best in light, rich 
soil with good drainage and in the fall should be trans¬ 
planted or thinned to eighteen inches or two feet apart and 
given some protection in severe winter weather. Height of 
plants, from two to four feet.
