BOCCONIA. Plumepoppy; Tree-celandine 
The plumepoppy is perhaps one of 
the most imposing plants of the 
hardy border as it grows from 5 to 
10 ft. tall. Very effective and 
ornamental plants to grow on the 
large lawn or in the background of 
borders. 
Culture: They require plenty of 
sunshine and a rich soil results in 
fine specimen clumps, but they will 
grow in poor soil. 
Cordata. (F.L.t 
The flowers are formed in huge 
plumes of feathery small, creamy 
white blooms. The flowering season 
is from July to September, but the 
plumes remain attractive until frost. 
BUPHTHALMUM. Ox-Eye. 
Showy, herbaceous perennials. Large, yellow flowers borne singly on long stems. Useful for 
cutting, also for the mixed border or wild garden. 
Culture: Ordinary soil and a sunny position. Plant in autumn or spring. 8 to 10 inches apart. 
Salicifol iun. (S.) 
Bears large, rich, golden yellow flowers through the summer. 2 feet high. Is a very fine plant 
for the sunny hardy borders. 
CACTUS. Opuntia. 
The hardy Cacti are used mostly in the rock gardens, although many of them are used in the bor¬ 
ders and in dry, rocky places. 
Culture: Cacti require a light, open and porous soil, containing lots of leafmold, loam and 
sand. They need water in the summer but not during the winter. Plant them in full sun. 
*Microdasys. (L. ) 
Large yellow flowers in July and August. 6-10 inches high. 
CALAMINTHA. Calamint. 
Useful plants for bold effects in the rock garden or rock wall, or in masses on the margin of 
borders. 
Culture: Any good,‘ordinary soil will suit. Plant 6 to 8 inches apart in groups of three or 
more in wall or rock garden, in full sun or light shade. 
* Albina. (L. ) 
A very graceful little rock plant, growing 6 inches high, with rich purple flowers. 
CAMPANULA MEDIUM. Canterbury Bells. 
Imposing, if not our best biennials. The plants are more or less pyramidal in growth, about two 
and one-half feet in height, and profusely covered with large, bell-shaped flowers. Extremely 
showy in mixed borders. 
Culture: A rich, well drained, light soil will grow them to perfection. It is. well to protect 
plants with a little dry covering; remove covering early in March before new growth starts. 
Plant 8 to 10 inches apart, in full sun. 
Calycanthema. (S.L. HCup and Faucer). 
Tall, erect growing plants completely covered with large cup and saucer-shaped flowers during 
late May and June. One of the loveliest of biennials and a perfect plant for the old-fashioned, 
hardy garden. Flowers last a week or more when cut. 
Colors: Blue, Pink, White and Mixed. 
Medium. (F. MFingle Canterbury Bells). 
These have the same habit of growth and are just as lovely as the Calycanthema, the flowers, 
however, do not have the so-called'saucer', but are bell-shaped. 
Colors: Blue, Pink, White and Mixed. 
Medium. IF.)(Double). 
These have the same habit of growth and are just as lovely, but are double. 
Dolors: Blue, Pink, White and Mixed. 
CAMPANULA. Bellflower. 
Cne of the most popular and showy hardy perennials for border or rock garden culture; almost in¬ 
dispensable, if not entirely so. 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 effective 
display when grown in clumps in the middle of the borders. 
Culture: All the varieties offered will succeed in ordinary rich soil. The dwarfer kinds like 
partial shade, and should be grown in colonies o% the margins of borders or in rock gardens, and 
the others in groups in the border 8 to 12 inches apart. All Campanulas are the better for a 
biennial lifting and dividing and replanted in good, rich soil. To insure firm spikes and large 
flowers on the taller sorts, feed freely with manure.
