G. persicifolia. — A perennial species with linear serrulated coria- ceous leaves and hemispherical blue or white flowers 2 to 2^ inches in diameter. One of the commonest and handsomest of cultivated species, in- cluding some handsome double-flowered varieties. It grows from 2 to 3 feet high, and continues blooming from June till September. A native of the South of Europe. 8. C. rotundifdlia. Hare-bell.—A common indigenous species, owing its specific name to the fact of its lower leaves being rotundate or ovate in out- line. The stem-leaves are linear and entire. Stem slender, from 1 to 2 feet high, bearing a few-flowered raceme of drooping flowers on slender pedicels. The graceful habit of this plant renders it equally attractive with the larger flowered species. There are white and pink varieties, but tlie ordinary blue one is perhaps the hand- somest. 9. (7. grandiflora (fig. 155), syn. Platycodon grandifidrus.—A peren- nial species about a foot high, of straggling habit. Flowers deep dark blue, appearing in July. Native of China. 10. G. Carpailucit (fig. 156).— A tufted perennial usually about 9 inches high. Leaves cordate, toothed. Flowers hemi- spherical, on long slender pedicels. There are several varieties of this desirable species in cultixation, with blue, blue and white, or entirely white flowers. This is perhaps the best of the dwarf Fig. 154. Campanula glomerata.
