Campamilas, Continued 
The Lester Rose Gardens 
C. PUNCTATA (Illustrated) — 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 each hung with large, 
pendant "fox-glove like” bell flowers, 
waxen in texture without, downy 
within, in varying delightful shades of 
creamy pink, lilac and even purple. Not 
hard to grow; up to 3 ft. in height; 
long blooming season; an enduring and 
unique perennial. 
Field-grown plants, each 40c, Seed 
25c. 
C. PUSILLA — (Sometimes offered as C. 
cochlearifolia). A trailing sort, quite 
essential for rock gardens; from dense 
mats of fine foliage rise 3 to 4-inch 
stems bearing quantities of nodding 
bells of lavender blue, like fairy’s 
thimbles; long blooming season. 
Field-grown plants, each 3 5c. 
C. PYRAMIDALIS (The "Chimney 
Campanula”) — (Illustrated on 
page 17. One of the showiest of the 
tall Campanulas, often grown in pots; 
bears enormous spikes of bloom up to 
7 or 8 feet tall loaded with flowers 
of exquisite blue through a three-month 
season. A fine, long-lasting cut flower. 
Strong field-grown plants, each 40c.

The Pearl-white CAMPANULA MOERHEIMII, 
showing 3 types of bloom — double, single 
and double hollyhock form. 
CAMPANULA PUNCTATA — an all-season 
bloomer with 3-inch pendant bells of pink 
and red, spotted and veined. 
Did Yon See Our Campanulas at 
the San Francisco Fair? 
We had them on exhibit frequently during 
the season last year in the Flail of Flowers and 
will again exhibit this season during summer and 
fall. Under the skillful management of those in 
charge of the exhibit they were well displayed and 
their keeping qualities as cut flowers insured good 
condition for many days. The lovely contrasts of 
white, lavender and all shades of blue are most 
effective. Why not be the first in your locality to 
grow and display these perennial Campanulas in 
your local flower show?

Campanulas as Border Plants 
It is a strange thing how few garden-lovers 
are familiar with the perennial Campanulas, con¬ 
fining their Campanula experience to the ordinary 
Canterbury Bell, which is only an annual or a bi¬ 
ennial. Plant a group of the perennial Campanulas 
in your garden border and they will last for years, 
asking for little care and giving you bountiful 
returns; you need only to divide the clumps, in 
the fall or winter, every two or three years to 
insure them doing well. You have a grand variety 
of colors; clear, shining white; pink and red; 
every imaginable shade of blue and some purple. 
For the small investment required, Campanulas 
give you tremendous returns in beauty and use¬ 
fulness.
