CYCLAMEN CULTURE. 



(Concluded from page 13.) 



Easter flowering, you can easily hold 

 them back by giving them as low a tem- 

 perature as 42 to 45 degrees. After the 

 plants are well rooted in their blooming 

 pots, it is quite beneficial to water them 

 with cow manure and soot water once or 

 twice in two weeks, to give them the fin- 

 ishing touches of a glossy foliage and 

 larger flowers, with good color. 



As to insects, the green fly and thrips 

 are the most injurious, but they are 

 easily kept off with the nicotine solution, 

 which we use regularly once a week. 



The main points to be considered in 

 growing good cyclamens are: Never 

 neglect them in the least; avoid drafts, 

 too dry or too wet conditions, or a close 

 temperature; keep a circulation of fresh 

 air; look out for insects; water moder- 

 ately; do not use too strong manure and 

 never use any chemicals. 



A strong, rich leaf-mold, mixed with 

 some mild sandy loam and allowed plenty 

 of drainage, will make the culture of a 

 good strain of cyclamens highly profit- 

 able and will make the plant a favorite 

 with both the grower and his customer. 



Should you want to select your own 

 seed bearers, you will do well to start 

 with the best strain of seed obtainable. 

 From October to December is the right 

 time to select the seed bearing plants 

 for best results. I know of no other 

 plant that so strikingly shows the good 

 qualities — and still more the bad qual- 

 ities — of the seed bearing plants, espe- 

 cially in the next generation. In select- 

 ing seed plants I look for a generally 

 well built plant — stocky, not too spindly 

 built; flowers well above the finely 

 marked leaves; close growth of foliage; 

 large five-petal flower spikes; clear, dis- 

 tinct colors; straight bearing of the 

 flowers ; in fact, everything that will help 

 to make a finely built plant should be 

 considered when picking out seed bearers. 



The cyclamen plant illustrated in con- 

 nection with this paper was grown by 

 M. Bloy, a member of the Detroit Flo- 

 rists' Club, who had a whole houseful of 

 such plants at Christmas and sold them 

 all and who may justly claim to be some 

 cyclamen grower himself.
