Campanulas, Continued 
C. PYRAVERSII—A rare hybrid sort you 
can seldom find, strikingly beautiful 
with its tall, thick stems clothed with 
attractive foliage all the way up and 
bearing through a long season open bells 
of lovely pale blue with indigo-blue 
centers; quite distinct in habits and 
appearance. We have had even winter 
blooming specimens in semi-shady spots 
grow over seven feet high but the usual 
height is 3 to 4 feet. 
Strong young plants, from cuttings, 
(3, the limit, for $1.25), each 5 0c. 
Seed, (scarce), per packet 3 5c. 
C. RADDEANA—A low growing sort for 
rockery or border, very easy of culture 
in any open soil. Round, glossy leaves 
with branching sprays and nearly a 
foot long of glorious violet-blue hare¬ 
bells that have a charm all their own. 
Two-year plants, each 3 5c. 
C. SARMATICA—An unusual sort, grow¬ 
ing up to 3 feet, with stiff upright stems 
well branched and laden with brilliant 
masses of bloom, each flower a widely 
flared, deeply toothed gem of loveliness, 
1 /z inch and over long, silver lavender 
to purple. 
Field-grown plants, each 5 0c. 
C. TELHAM BEAUTY (Illustrated) — 
Most admired of all the types of C. 
Persicifolia because of its profusely

blue, single or double. 
shaped flowers on strong stems 3 to 4 
feet high; sometimes the flowers come 
semi-double but always strikingly beau¬ 
tiful. We list the white variety of this 
choice kind, C. Moerheimi, on a pre¬ 
ceding page; the two colors go well to¬ 
gether as border perennials that will 
increase in beauty each year and can 
occasionally be divided. 
Strong field-grown clumps, 2 to 3 
years old, (3 for $1.00; 12 for 
$3.50), each 3 5c. 
Seed, per packet, 2 5c. 
C. THRYSOIDES — Distinct and rare; 
grows to over a foot in height; bears 
dense heads of attractive yellow flowers. 
Field-grown plants, each 60c.
