CAMPANULA. Cup ami Saucer.—A new, entirely distinct and ex- ceedingly beautiful variety of Canterbury Bells, and is quite an acquisition to this class of hardy perennials, which are at present receiving a great deal of attention, both at home and abroad. The bell or trumpet of the flower is quite three inches in diameter, presenting the form of a cup and saucer, as shown in illustration above. Colors are blue, rose, lilac and white, and also includes the new striped sorts which are entirely new and distinct and as yet very scarce and expensive. The plants are of strong growth and their beautiful blooms almost completely hide the foliage from view. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. SHIRXEY POPPY.—These charming Poppies represent an entirely- new strain of the Ranunculus-flowered family. They range in color from pure white, through many shades of pale pink, rose and carmine, ending in the deepest crimson, many delicately edged, blotched, and striped, which add greatly to their loveliness. The form of the flower is most beautiful, generally single or semi-double, and will be found very valuable for table decorations, where its charming colors, shades and markings, cannot fail to attract the attention of all who behold them. The seed I offer has been most carefully saved from a grand collection, embracing only the best colors and forms. Perfectly hardy and flowers the first season from seed. Packet, 10 cents. 86
