A 4-foot spike of the easily grown 
China-blue Campanula grandis, lifted 
from our garden and potted for 
photographing. 
C. GRANDIS—(Illustrated)—For general pur¬ 
poses, long season bloom, good habits, we 
think this the most useful of all the tall 
Campanulas. The plant quickly forms strong 
clumps with handsome long-leaved foliage, 
green all the year, and blooms, with us, from 
June to December, sparingly in late fall but 
for months presents a thrilling mass of blue, 
each plant sending up its many spikes of large, 
saucer-shaped bright blue flowers that clothe 
the 4-foot stems. Individual flowers are 2 to 
3 inches wide. Clumps should be divided every 
year or two. 
Large field grown clumps, 2 to 3 years old, 
(3 for $1.25; 6 for $2.25), each 50c. 
Smaller field-grown plants, (6 for $1.50), 
each 3 0c. 
Seed, per packet, 2 5c. 
C. GROSSEKII—(Illustrated on page 15)—For 
ease of culture, tolerance of unfavorable conditions 
and continuity of bloom this deserves a place in 
every garden. Grows 3 feet and more high, its 
graceful stems bearing masses of pendant violet- 
blue bells borne all season long. 
Strong field-grown plants (3 for 7 5c; 6 for 
$ 1.25 ), each 30c. 
Seed, per packet 2 5 c. 
C. LONGISTYLA—Strong growing, long-blooming 
kind, of bushy habit, ideal for borders, quite 
choice and uncommon; bears branching spikes of 
large drooping violet-blue bells with striking effect. 
Easy to grow. Height about 18 inches. 
Strong clumps, 2 to 3 years old, (3 for $1.3 5), 
each 5 0c. 
Seed, per packet 2 5 c. 
C. MOERHEIMI—Fine novelty, of the C. persicifolia 
type, grows to 3 feet, bears large snow-white 
flowers, sometimes double, 2 to 3 inches across; 
fine for borders or exhibition. 
Field-grown clumps, (3 for $1.00; 6 for 
$ 1.75 ), each 3 5c. 
Seed, per packet 2 5c. 
C. MURALIS—Showiest and easiest grown of the 
trailing dwarf Campanulas; small, glossy, dark 
green foliage; profuse purplish-blue bells borne all 
season on 6 to 10 inch stems; a perfect plant for 
sunny or semi-shady rockeries or to edge a rose 
bed. 
Field-grown plant clumps, (6 for $1.2 5; 12 
for $2.25; 25 for $3.75), each 25c. 
C. PUNCTATA Classed by some as a rare novelty; certainly a garden treasure you should know. 
Comes from the mountain meadows of Japan. From mats of spreading foliage rise sturdy spikes
