CANTERBURY BELLS.
The value of Canterbury bells as a flowering plant for the greenhouse in early spring should not be overlooked. At planting time in the autumn, a few of the best plants should be selected and placed in properly drained pots of sufficient size to easily take the mass of roots, ordinary potting soil answering very well. These can then be stood outside or in a cold frame until about August, when they should be placed in the greenhouse, where they will gradually come along and open their flowers several weeks ahead of those grown outdoors. The pink and white varieties are best for indoor cultivation.
