CAMPANULA MEDIUM - Canterbury Bells 
Imposing, if not our best biennials. The plants are more or less py- 
ramidal in growth, about two and one-half feet in height, and profusely 
covered with large, bell-shaped flowers. Extremely showy in mixed 
borders. 
CULTURE. A rich, well drained, light soil will grow them to 
perfection. It is well to protect fall-transplanted plants with a little 
dry covering; remove covering early in March before new growth 
starts. Plant in early autumn or very early spring, 8 to 10 inches 
apart, in full sun. 
MEDIUM (Single Canterbury Bells). 
These have the same habit of growth and are just as lovely as the 
Calycanthema; the flowers, however, do not have the so-called “saucer,’’ 
but are bell-shaped. 
Medium Blue, White, Pink Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00 
CALYCANTHEMA (Cup and Saucer). 
Tall, erect growing plants completely covered with large cup and saucer- 
shaped flowers during late May and June.

In the eagerness these days for new things, some of the lovely old 
ones are all too often neglected. 
All the worthy old-timey plants have been greatly improved in every 
way. None more so than the Campanulas, known by our grandmothers 
as the Cup and Saucer plant, Bellflowers and Canterbury Bells. 
In their various sizes from the dwarfs up to those 3 feet high, some 
thriving in semi-shady places, others glorious in sunny spots, no gar- 
den can be quite complete without them. Some bloom continuously 
from june to October, giving a wealth of white and blue blooms. 
They are among the finest of the new fashion, old fashion flowers. 
So, be among the appreciative many who have called back to their 
gardens these outstandingly delightful plants. 
CULTURE. A rich, well-drained, light soil will grow them to per- 
fection. It is well to protect fall-transplanted plants with a little dry
