The New Giant Bellflower of Bokhara 
D^^A Glorious Perennial 
Plants grow six feet high. Flowers six inches across. 
Q^^Largest. Most Showy, Most Beautiful of all “Campanulas". 
Here is a picture of the Giant Bellflower of Bokhara. It belongs to the order Cam- 
panulacea, and is by far the most stately, gorgeous and beautiful of all Bellflowers. No 
other can ever approach it in size and exquisite beauty. The plants, six feet high, form a 
big long tuberous root, and are clothed from the ground up with whorls of handsome 
glaucous leaves, the top dividing into from two to six stems, each bearing a giant 
bellflower, lilac in color with blue veins. The roots are brittle and plants must be trans¬ 
planted with care. They thrive in deep, rich, sandy loam, and in a sunny situation. 
Dig holes two feet deep, place at the bottom a liberal supply of well-rotted stable litter 
and fill in with the soil, setting the crown six inches beneath the surface. Tread well 
when planting. Protect from severe winds in the Spring. This splendid novelty was 
found in Bokhara, Turkestan in 1887, at an altitude of 7000 ft., and is perfectly hardy.
