CANTERBURY BELLS (HX 30 in.) 
This is one of the most beautiful 
and showy of garden plants. In the 
South it can be treated as a hardy 
biennial but in the colder climates, 
it may die out in the winter. Sow 
the seed very early in the spring in- 
doors and transplant after heavy 
frosts are over. Or sow seed in the 
summer for next spring’s blooms. The 
single flowers are of much neater ap- 
pearance than the doubles.
