CYLAMEN SEEDS.

 should he ;4i\en cyclamens to secure ,i 

 eooil siipplx- of seeds? IIow many seed^ 

 may 1 reasonahly expect from a plant

Keep the plant in an open, siiiiny loca 

 •ion and reduce the water supply a litth 

 as tlu' tlowi'rs pass. The earliest ;ind 

 strongest llowers produce tin- he^t seeds 

 It is not wise to leave on all the tlowers. 

 I,ea\e ;i couple of dozcu, and you will 

 lia\e seeds of better quality. 



I'^v crythiny will depend on whethei 

 or not \oiir llowers were fertili/.ed arti 

 tii-i;illy. If they were not I'ertili/ed the 

 croji ol' seed is uncertain and m,'i\' he
