PLATYCODON (Chinese Bellflower). These are closely allied to the 
Bellflower family and derive the name of “Balloon Flower” from 
the shape of the buds. They enjoy a very rich, loamy soil and are 
most attractive plants for the border, bearing blue blossoms for 
about a month or six weeks, beginning about the middle of July. 
They are best planted when quite young, as they do not bear dis¬ 
turbing after once established. Start into growth very late in the 
spring.
