PLATYCODON—Chinese Bellflower 
Hardy Perennial 
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 blos¬ 
soms 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 disturbing after once estab¬ 
lished.
