WAVSIDE GARDEISIS 
CAMPANULA - Bellflower 
One of the most popular and showy hardy perennials tor border or 
rock garden culture. The flowers are all blue and white in color, and 
the height ranges from a tew inches to several feet. The dwarter sorts 
ore splendid subjects tor 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 dwarter kinds like partial shade, and some of the tall species, 
as Latifolia, Lactiflora, and Trachelium. do well in shady 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 
end 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 insure fine spikes and large flowers 
on the taller sorts, feed freely with manure.
