A Sliade Is Only as G 
as Its Roller! 
HEREVER window shades are 
operating silently and fault¬ 
lessly day after day you may be sure 
they are mounted on Hartshorn 
Rollers. 
For a shade, after all, is only as good 
as its roller, and a roller is only as good 
as its spring. Hartshorn makes all its 
springs—and holds to one standard. 
They are the best that can be made! 
Shades so mounted therefore rise at 
your slightest touch; they lower and 
“stay put ” where you want them; 
they run straight and never “jam””. 
If you want perfect freedom from 
shade troubles, make sure that your 
new shades are mounted on Hartshorn 
Rollers.

C. persicifolia var. Tclham Beauty 
is one o f the best midsummer flowers 
of medium height. It hears large 
blue bells on wiry stalks 
SOME of the CAMPANULA FAMILY 
{Continued from page 142) 
more dwarf in growth, seldom as much as 
2 ' high, and rather unusual in form. The 
deep purple bells are clustered together 
in a head at the top of a stout flower stem. 
The color is good when seen in the mass, 
but the flowers individually are rather 
heavy. 
C. macrostyla is a handsome annual, 
growing about i' high, with large purple- 
lined flowers netted outside with purple 
veins on a paler ground. 
These are probably the best of the 
campanula for the average flower lover to 
meet in his garden, although there are 
many others each with qualities which 
will commend it to some more than 
others. It remains for those which are 
chosen to be treated with understanding 
as their individuality demands, for only 
so can they give the full measure of their 
beauty of form and color. 
Of the lesser known campanula, which 
might be desirable to try if one decides to 
go in for an extensive list, there are 
several which are quite interesting. Miss 
Jekyll, the well-known English flower 
authority, describes them as follows: 
C. muralis, equally known as C. 
Portenschlagiana, is a brilliant little June 
flower; the neat tufts of foliage almost 
covered by the abundant bloom of a rich 
purple color. Still more delightful is the 
dainty little C. garganica, flowering later 
in the summer. There is a perfect finish 
about the whole plant, with its charming 
bloom of light purple shading to white, 
and its exquisitely neat foliage, like tiny 
leaves of ivy, sharply cut at every point. 
Both of these little bellflowers are seen at 
their best in the joints of dry walling, or 
in any steep places in the rock garden 
that come near the same conditions. 
Another of the favorites for wall or rock 
joint is C. pusilla, blooming in late 
summer. It is in white and purple 
colorings; a charming pale purple kind 
was raised by Miss Willmott and is now 
well known. It is pretty to see any 
variety of this little plant running at the 
foot or sides of rock garden steps. 
A type more suitable for the wild garden than the refined border is 
C. punctata. It should be planted in a group of several plants
