RARE PERENNIALS, ALPINE PLANTS 
11 
C A M PA N U LA —Continued. 
*laurii —Large lavender saucers on wiry 
stems, 6 to 10 inches high, from June to 
Aug. Water sparingly after July. 25c 
each. 
* Miranda —(bellardi Miranda) Tubby, sil¬ 
very-blue bells on 2 to 3 inch stems, 
borne in great profusion over the mats 
of pretty foliage. June to Aug. 35c each. 
*muralis —(See portenschlagiana.) 
*plar>iflora —A rare native from the Rocky 
Mts., suggesting a most condensed form 
of C. persicifolia. The leaves are smooth, 
leathery and scalloped, in a very com¬ 
pact tuft. The large round flat blue flow¬ 
ers sit very tightly on the 8 inch stems. 
Justly described by an eminent author¬ 
ity as “a very dressy little alpine.” This 
and the following should be in every col¬ 
lection. 50c each. 
*planiflora alba —the pure white flowering 
form of the preceding. 50c each. 
*portenschlagiana —Has a very long flow¬ 
ering period, June to Nov. Dense tufts 
of dark green foliage covered with pur¬ 
ple-blue bell-shaped flowers on 6 inch 
stems. 25c each. 
*poscharskyana —In our opinion the best 
of the larger Campanula as far as the 
flowering period is concerned. Plants in 
our gardens, without any special care 
began to bloom in May. They were cut 
back end of June and by mid-July were 
covered with flowers again. Were cut 
back a second time end of Aug. and by 
mid-Sept. had their third crop of flowers. 
Bloom right up to freezing time. It is a 
trailing plant found in Siberia, related to 
C. garganica, with far-reaching prostrate 
sprays of grey-blue starry flowers which 
are 1 % in. or more across. 25c each. 
pusilla —See C. cochlearifolia. 
*raddeana —Round, glossy leaves, sharply 
toothed at the edge. Branching sprays 
of large violet bells on 9 to 12 inch stems 
from June to Aug. Grows well and in¬ 
creases rapidly in any open soil and 
place. 25c each. 
*rotundifolia C. M. Hark —(Bluebells of 
Scotland) Slender branching stems with 
very large flowers, more open than the 
type. June to Oct. 25c each. 
*rotundifolia olympica — Native of the 
Olympic Mts. of Washington state. Size 
of flowers is double that of C. rotundi- 
folia. Habit is more compact and very 
drought resistant. 8 to 10 inches, May to 
Nov. 25c each. 
*rotundifolia fl. pi. — Formerly listed as 
rhomboidalis fl. pi. Double flowering 
form of C. rotundifolia, with lavender 
blue flowers. 50c each.

lovely. For a hot limestone crevice. Grey 
foliage and large lavender-lilac flowers 
on 6 to 9 inch stems. 50c each.

is attractive in itself. Large deep blue or 
purple-blue wide-open bell-shaped flow¬

July. Very choice and rare. A very gritty 
soil in full sun. 35c and 50c each. 
*stansfieldi—A very rare and lovely hy¬ 
brid with short, hairy leaves and 4 to 6 
inch branches, stems ending in pendant 
bells of soft, warm violet. The demand 
for this variety is far greater than the 
supply. 50c and 75c each. 
*tommasiniana—A late flowering treasure 
for the alpine garden, blooming from 
July to Sept. Long, narrow pale purple 
bells carried on slender, branching 8 to 
12 inch stems. 75c each.
