The varieties figured have been named and are greatly in 

 advance, both in size and quality of bloom; but the difficulty 

 of perpetuating varieties must ever be a bar to their being cul- 

 tivated as a florist's flower. Pelargoniums we can multiply by 

 cuttings, and Auriculas by offsets ; but there seems, at present, 

 no method for propagating the Cyclamen except by seed, and 

 this, of course, will not ])erpetnate the variety. Eubnim graudl- 

 florum (Fig. 1) is a large higlily-coloured flower; Orifiamme 

 (Fig. 2) in the same style, but with shorter and broader petals. 

 White Delicatum is an improvement in shape of petal on tlie 

 older varieties of the same colour.
