CAMPANULA (kam-PAN-yew-lah) Bellflower, Canterbury Bells 
(kam-PAN-u-lah) Canterbury Bells; Bell Flowers; Harebell. Biennials, perennials 
and a few annuals. They are excellent for the border, some species for the rock gard-

seed, sown indoors in March and set outdoors in May or June or they can be started 
about July. A covering of leaves is good for winter protection. The seed being small, 
it will be well to scatter them on a good light loam, press into the soil lightly and ccv-

PIONEER SEED COMPANY 
Growing Ginseng 
They say that one can get up to $10.00 per 
pound for dried Ginseng roots; we would be 
pleased to hear from reader who have raised 
this root as to their actual experience in 
pleased to hear from readers whe have raised 
Ginseng is very hardy and will thrive in 
soils of ordinary richness where it will yield 
up to 1,800 pounds per acre. The plants are 
about 14 inches high and bear large clusters 
of light green flowers which later turn into 
green berries. These when ripe turn a bright 
crimson-red. The berries contain the seeds 
and number as many as 50 per plant. 
The roots are the valuable part of the 
plant and resembles parsnips very much, both 
in color and shape; they weigh from a few 
ounces to a pound per plant. 
The soil if of medium garden type and 
mixed with rotted leaves is about all that 
will be required. They do best when given 
shade. 
The roots are dug afler the plants have 
died down; be sure to get the entire root. 
These are washed clean of all soil and then 
spread out to dry, usually requiring 3 weeks 
after which they are ready for the market. 
Ginseng seed should be planted as soon 
as ripe, in August, as otherwise they go into 
a dormant stage and will not germinate till 
the following spring and sometimes not until 
the second spring. 
PLANTING DEPTH FOR LILIES 
One common failure with lilies is in the 
depth at which they are planted and too of- 
ten it is too deep rather than not deep 
enough that causes the trouble. 
You will have to use judgement when fol- 
lowing directions. If it says plant 6 inches 
deep, it would be right, but for a godd sized 
matured bulb in a good lily soil, rather light 
and moist. But if the bulb you purchased 
was not a top sized bulb for the particular 
variety and your soil rather heavy and stiff 
than you would want to plant it much more 
shallow; you would want to be more care- 
full to put a few handsfull of sandy soil und- 
er each bulb. The later in the fall you set 
your bulbs out, the more you want to mulch 
them so that they will continue to form roots 
before winter actually sets in. Many species 
are not really matured till in October so the 
soil should be made ready 2-3 months earl- 
ier, with a fine mulch on it to conserve the 
moisture and give life to the soil. 
If you are in doubt as to the depth, make 
it a little less rather than a little deeper; then 
see that there is a good mulch provided; this 
is more important than the depth. 
SOLIDAGO VIRGAUREA 
A Goldenrod that would not be considered 
a weed as are all the American species. 
Its flowers are a bright yellow in dense 
clusters up to 8 inches long; 2-3 feet high 
and a good companion plant behind the 
Peach-leaved Bellflower, Carpathian MHare- 
bells, etc. 
Its form known as Gold Wings, and that 
grows to 4-5 feet high, does not come true 
from seed, it being a sport of the species. 
GENTIANA VARNA 
Gentiana verna germinates only in March 
and at no other time and if you have a plant 
and hoe around it after the seed has fallen 
on the ground, you spoil your chances for 
a crop of seedlings. 
Maianthemum becomes a weed difficult to 
eradicate.
