Pe parila: Bellflower 
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 garden 
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 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. 
BGa patica Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
(Carpathian Harebell.) A pretty species growing in compact tufts 
not exceeding 8 inches high; flowers clear blue, held erect on wiry stems. 
It begins blooming in June, continuing until October. As an edging for 
hardy border or for the rockery it is unsurpassed. 
*Carpatica alba Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
A pure white form of the preceding. 
*Cullinmore Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
A lovely hybrid form of Carpatica and other dwarf-growing species. 
Much more prolific than Carpatica. Its flowers of various shades of 
pike are produced all summer. Very nice edging plant or for the rock 
garden. 
**Garganica ; Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
A gem for the rock garden. Forms a low spreading tuft which, in June, 
is covered with starry light blue flowers having a white eye. Exquisite 
hanging over a rock. 
Grandis, Six Hills Giant Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A bold plant growing 21 feet tall. The flower stems are covered for 
their entire length with beautiful pale blue flowers which are starlike 
and saucer-shaped. Particularly valuable because it grows just as well 
in shade as in full sun. Multiplies freely, hardy anywhere. A choice 
novelty recently received from England. 
+ MVuralis Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
_ Very dwarf plant covered with purplish blue flowers in June. Fine for 
wall or rock garden. The most popular wall plant or rock plant of the 
entire Campanula group. 
Persicifolia grandiflora alba Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
One of the finest Campanulas, with large, handsome, white, bell-shaped 
flowers. A great acquisition. Height 2 feet. 
Persicifolia grandiflora coerulea Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
An excellent companion to the white variety, the large bright blue 
flowers making an effective contrast. Height 2 feet. 
Persicifolia, Misty Morn Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
The 30-inch spirelike flower stems are covered with beautiful double 
lavender-blue bells. The soft, frosted shadings of the flowers give them 
a lovely and most distinct appearance. This variety is far superior to 
any other double Campanula Persicifolia now in use. It is a magnifi- 
cent plant for the garden and superb for cutting. To test it as a cut 
flower we sent many flowers of it to the Boston Cut Flower Market 
where they received a high price, as well as high praise. 
Persicifolia, White Pearl Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
The loveliest of the double white Persicifolias. Stems are 21 to 3 feet 
tall and covered with double white bell-like flowers. They do well in 
light shade or full sun, lasting a long time in bloom, increase freely and 
are very hardy. Altogether a fine garden plant as well as a fine cut 
flower. 
*Rotundifolia Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
(Blue Bells of Scotland or Harebells.) 1 foot. June to August. In the 
wild it is more slender and taller than in the garden; clear blue flowers. 
Especially suited for crevices in the rock garden or deep slopes, best 
planted so as to show pendent habit. Does well also in light shade. 
CAMPANULA MEDIUM .- Canterbury Bells 
Imposing, if not our best biennials. The plants are more or less pyram- 
idal in growth, about two and one-half feet in height, and profusely cov- 
ered 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 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 $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
CALYCANTHEMA (Cup and Saucer) 
Tall, erect growing plants completely covered with large cup and saucer- 
shaped flowers during late May and June. 
Calycanthema Blue, White, Pink Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00
