CAMPANULA—Bellflower 
Almost indispensable, if not entirely so. One of the 
most popular and showy hardy perennials for border or 
rock garden culture. The flowers are all blue and white 
in color, and the height ranges from a few inches to 
several feet. The dwarfer sorts are splendid subjects 
for edging or growing in groups on the margins of 
borders or rockeries, and the tall kinds make an effec¬ 
tive display when grown in clumps in the middle of the 
borders. • 
Culture. All the varieties offered will succeed in ordi¬ 
nary rich soil. The dwarfer kinds like partial shade, 
and some of the tall species, as Latifolia, Lactiflora, 
and Trachelium do well in shady border. The dwarf 
sorts should be grown in colonies on the margins of 
borders or in the rock gardens, and the others in groups 
in the border. Plant in autumn or early spring, 8 to 
12 inches apart. Carpatica requires a cool position. 
Species like Persicifolia and its varieties should be 
lifted and divided every second year and replanted in 
good, rich soil, otherwise they will not flower freely. 
Indeed, all Campanulas are the better for a biennial 
lifting and dividing. To ensure fine spikes and large 
flowers on the taller sorts, feed freely with manure.

half feet in height, and profusely covered with large,

to perfection. It is well to protect fall-transplanted

in March before new growth starts. Plant in early 
autumn or very early spring, 8 to 10 inches apart, in 
full sun.
