Here is a “gem” of a plant, one of our visitors exclaimed as she saw 
it growing in our nursery last summer. We heartily agree with her. 
We did produce a big quanity of them before we dared offer them 
in our catalog because we know they will be snapped up quickly. 
Dozens of brilliant violet-blue flowers on almost rigid stems look 
skyward from a cushion of deep green foliage not over 6 inches 
high. A neat subject for edgings, in front of other plants or the i 
rock garden. We think it is one of the finest of dwarf Campanulas 
to date.
