particular as to soil. Most of them pre- 
fer partial shade,—a good deal of shade 
in hot, sunnier localities,—a light soil, 
with leaf-mold and plenty of water. The 
trailing sorts prefer a gritty soil, espe- 
cially at the surface. All our stork is 
open field grown. Note that we can fur- 
nish seed of many kinds, as_ stated, 
which is easily germinated. 
C. ALLEARIFOLIA — Very uncommon 
but of great beauty; 2 to 3 foot stems 
of gracefully twining habit covered 
for months with fairy-like, deeply- 
toothed, nodding white bell flowers. 
1% inches long, with lovely effect. 
Field-grown clump, ea. 50c; 3 for 
$1.25. Seed, 25c. 
Cc. BILLARDI MIRANDA — One of the 
choicest rock-garden varieties. Far- 
rer, the famous authority, terms it 
‘fone of the greatest of our rock-gar- 
den plants’’ and it well deserves that 
eulogy. About 3 inches high it 
spreads freely and produces quanti- 
ties of fat little tubby bells of a sil- 
very gray-blue ‘“‘like a fine cloud at 
night with the moon behind it.’’ Small 
but strong plants, each 35c. 
Cc. CARPATICA — Grows 1 to 1% feet 
in height; bears through a long sea- 
son, profusely, large open flowers, 
1144, inches and over in width, of 
bright, deep blue. Effective and 
very useful. Field grown clumps, 
50c. Seed, 25c. 
C. CARPATICA Var. DITTON’S BLUE— 
Very choice, with larger flowers of an 
exquisite deep blue. Strong plants, 
60c; 3 for $1.50. 
C. CELTIDIFOLIA (Edw. Molyneau)— 
Ilustrated. Very uncommon, but very 
choice; grows to 31% feet, bears for a 
long season very large heads of large, 
upright, pale blue bells; a showy, val- 
uable sort. Deciduous. Heavy field- 
grown clumps, 75c. Second size, 50c; 
3 for $1.25. Seed, 25c.

pact, bushy habit, about 8 inches high, 
bearing for months masses of flower spikes

blue. Fine for rock garden, edging or 
mass planting. Strong plants, 50c. 
DICROANTHA—One of the freest bloom- 
ing of all campanulas, with masses of 
flaring lobed bells of violet-blue borne 
on many upright stems up to 3 feet in 
height. Showy and very beautiful, yet 
easily grown; native of Europe. Strong 
plants, 40c.

flowers of pale blue with white eye in 
great profusion. Strong plants, 40c; 3

but truly a plant gem. From a rosette 
of silvery-gray leaves spring strong stems 
a foot or less in height hung with pure 
white bellflowers, in shape like a Canter- 
bury Bell but smaller. Long season 
bloom. A jewel for the rock-garden.
