"BRODIAEAS in little groups of 3 to 6 bulbs, add a most de¬ 
lightful late spring effect to the rock garden. See under 
bulbs, page 4. 
-CALIFORNIA FUCSHIA. See Zauschneria. 
*CALOCHORTUS of the Globe and Star tulip forms dotted 
into the rock garden are truly enchanting. See page 6. 
CAM ASSI AS in bold groups in the borders will be a source 
of enchantment for many weeks in late spring. See 
page 5. 
CAMPANULA, Bellflower. One of the most beautiful ot 
plants and almost indispensable in the garden and rock 
garden. There are very many species but here I deal with 
the dwarfer ones suited to the rock garden, but the list 
is by no means exhaustive as there are over a hundred 
dwarf species. Campanulas will not do for the dryer ox- 
sun baked situations of the rock garden but if there is a 
north or east exposure and if moisture can be kept mod¬ 
erate no rock plant excels them in dainty loveliness. 
Lovely for border edgings. Cult: Sit., a north or east 
exposure, or partial shade. Soil, a good loam. PI., fall to 
spring. Prop., seed or divisions. All of the spreading 
sorts are best for biennial dividing. I divide such each 
year. 
*Billardi Miranda has a low glossy mass of foliage, the flow¬ 
ers tubby bells of silvery blue borne on 3 in. stems in 
July and August. 35 cts. each; 3 for 90 cts. 
^Isophylla is another trailer and most lovely. Open mats are 
as much as a foot across, the stems covered with the 
large saucer shaped blue or white flowers from July to 
frost. Perfectly hardy from Calif, to Washington but 
might suffer in the East without some protection. Cur 
back to ground just before frost. A real gem in a cool 
situation but enduring not too hot a sunny situation. 
Isophylla Alba in pure white; Isophylla Mayii in fine 
blue at 50 cts. each. 
*Garganica erinus. Most dainty, with tufts, less than 2 in. 
high, of heart shaped glossy leaves and star-shaped 
flower of soft blue -just above foliage. 30 cts. each; 3 for 
75 cts. 
Gloomerata. 18 inch. Heads of stunning royal purple flow¬ 
ers in May. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. 
Grosseckii. 2 ft. Clear blue flowers through a long season. 
Fine to naturalize in light shade. 25 cts. each; 3 for 
65 cts. 
*lstriaca. Lovely tufts of quite hairy, heart shaped leaved 
with dainty flowers which are soft china-blue stars. A 
gem. 35 cts. each; 3 for 90 cts. 
*Muralis Bavarica. From a dense low spreading foliage mass 
arise 5 in. stems on which are borne the 1 in. bells, mak¬ 
ing a blue purple mound from June on for many weeks. 
30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts. 
Persicifolia “Grosse Gloecke”. A stronger plant and larger 
flowers than the other Peach-leaved Bellflowers. Stands 
2 to 4 ft., with very large clear blue flowers. Cult: Sun or 
light shade. 30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts. 
*Pusilla (Caespitosa) is another real gem in very dwarf 
plants. Spreading to make a very dense mass hardly 2 
in. high, the nodding blue bells are carried on erect 4 in. 
stems well above foliage appearing from July to October. 
A delight in a cool pocket in rock garden. 30 cts. each; 
3 for 75 cts. 
*Pusilla alba. A pure white form of preceding. Same price. 
*Pseudo-Rainerii is rather finer than Rainerii and unlike it, 
quite easy to grow. It is a dainty, compact and quite 
miniature tuft 1 V 2 in. high, with the large fine, blue 
flowers borne above the foliage. July to Aug. 50 cts. ea. 
Raddeana. Round glossy leaves at ground with 10 in. stems 
bearing graceful sprays of large violet-blue bells from 
June to Aug. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. 
*Rotundifolia. A clump of very many slender but erect 
12 to 18 in. stems bears a mass of rather broad blue bells 
from late May to June. It is far the best form of the 
many Rotundifolia varieties. Stands shade. 25 cts. each; 
3 for 65 cts. 
*CAN DY-TU FT. See Ibens. 
*CERASTIUM tomentosum. Prostrate creeper with silvery 
foliage and white flowers in May to June. Splendid to 
cover banks or to trail from walls. 25 cts. each; 3 for 
65 cts. 
*CERATOSTIGMA Plumbaganoides, makes a close mass 6 
inches high and undisturbed becomes quite large. On 
longer stems many plumbage blue flowers appear from 
late summer on.' A striking blue and a wonderful plant 
for fine late rock garden effects. A splendid border 
plant as well. Cult: Sit., sun. Soil, any rich loam. PL, 
fall to spring. Prop., div. Each 25 cts.; 3 for 65 cts. 
CHLOROGALUM, Indian Soap Plant. See Bulbs, page 4.

with 5 to 6 broad, emerald green leaves in a rosette 7 to 
14 inches across, and a spike 15 to 30 inches high of red

worth a lot of trouble to grow well. Cult: Shade to dense

acid. PL, dormant roots in fall only. 30 cts each; 3 for 
75 cts.

for the rock garden or hot banks. A low broad tuft a few 
inches high and often two feet across bears very many 
large clear blue morning glory flowers from June to 
frost. A little trimming keeps it in place although it 
never seeds or spreads by under ground runners. Has 
wintered for years at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. and on Long 
Island and is hardy from Philadelphia southward. Cult: 
Sit., sun. Endures heat and drought but better for some 
watering. Soil, any well drained. Prop., rooted cuttings. 
PL, fall to spring. Spring in East. I would not be with¬ 
out it. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts.
