52 Growing Flowers 



planted until late. The latter part of September 

 is not too early for this work. 



The best of soils for bulbs is well rotted barnyard 

 manure. This should be well worked into the soil 

 before the bulbs are set out, and the ground should 

 not be disturbed by cultivation. The soil should 

 be finely pulverized and the manure should never 

 be put on fresh. 



Cyclamen 



The plants of the pretty little cyclamen should be 

 given a rich, moist but well drained soil. They 

 require a moderate amount of sunlight but the soil 

 should not be allowed to become dried out by the 

 sun's rays. They are most satisfactory as a house 

 plant. 



Cyclamen really should be renewed every year in 

 order to obtain the best result in the flowers, 

 though it will grow year after year with little care. 

 All roots for house plants should be repotted every year. 

 This plant should not be subjected to extremes in 

 moisture and drought nor in temperature. A tem- 

 perature of fifty degrees is quite warm enough and 

 very moderate moisture is all that is necessary. 



Cyclamen should be repotted in August.
