Canterbury Bells (Cup and Saucer) 
Campanulas 
A place should be found in every garden for this 
old-fashioned and much prized garden plant. Cam- 
panula calycanthema, the Cup-and-Saucer Canter- 
bury Bell, and Campanula medium, the single Can- 
terbury Bell, are biennial, flowering the second year 
from seed. Bellflower, Harebell and Peachbell are 
hardy perennials. Sow seed any time up to July 
15th, or if sown very early indoors, it may bloom 
the first year. Thrives best in light, rich soil with 
good drainage. —~
