A NEW BASKET PLANT.

A Trailing Flower For the Window.
Neat Foliage and PrOfuse Bloom.
Campanula isophylla mayii is new
trailing bell1ower that seems admira-
bly, adapted for the window garden,
says Rural New Yorker. 1t has neat,
small foliage, slow, rambling growth
and is a remarkably profuse bloomer.
The flowers are saucer shaped and of a
clear lavender blue. Hundreds Of these
attractive blooms open at a time on
plants small enough for five inch pot,
presenting a continuous mass of color.
They are about two inches across and
last several days.
The plant should be grown in a par
TALLY shaded place and likes well drain
ed soil and an airy situation. During
hot and muggy weather the plants I'M
der glass lose most of their growth from
mildew, but at once start freely when
removed to shaded porch.
1t is still so scarce that it has not
been tried much in an amateur way,
but there is little doubt it will make an
important addition to the few plants
really adapted to cool and half shaded
windows. When grown in pots, it can
be staked up foot or more high, but
it thrives especially well when allowed
to trail over the sides of deep basket.
Campanula isophylla, the species from
which this new variety was derived, is
native of Italy and is often grown on
shady rockeries There is a white form
that is very popular, but it is not so
free In bloom as G. isophylla mayii.
