name from 1tS QeICaIe Dlue cOlOrlng'
and its almost perfect likeness to
the real gardenia blossoms.
Strange things happen in the fio-
raj world-here is this new cam
panula with more than 800 relatives
and still it resembles the white
gardenia in form more than its
own relatives, some of which are
the canterbury bells and the blue
bells-of Scotland.
This new campanula is considered
one of the most important of recent
flower introductions. 1t grows about
80 inches high and has from five to
eight flower spikes to each plant.
When the entire length of the long
stem is filled with the lovely garde-
nialike flowers and bulging buds
showing bit of blue it is most effect
i've. While the blossoms are almost
identical to those of the gardenia, the
foliage is quite different. Both are,
however, dark green and leathery.
The campanula leaf is long and
narrow while that of the gardenia
is broad and fiat and much heavier
looking.
Blue gardenia or new campanula
is hardy and blooms year after year
without replanting, and does not
mind in the least if the tempera-
ture drops down below zero. Here
is another interesting point which
will delight growers-insects rarely
disturb this plant. And it is not
particular about the soil it stands in
either; any ordinary garden soil will
satisfy it, but slightly alkaline is
