C. GRANDIS (Illustrated on page 14) 
For general purposes, long season 
bloom, good habits, we think this 
the most useful of all the tall Cam¬ 
panulas. 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. 
Field grown divisions, 2 to 3 years 
old, (3 for $1.25; 6 for $2.25), 
each 3 5c. Seed, 2 5c.
