160 FAMILIAR GARDEN FLOWERS. 



mixture. A half part of sand will probably be needed. 

 Replace in the cold frame and let them remain there about, 

 a month, and then transfer to the greenhouse. A tem- 

 perature of 50° Fahr. will suit them well; let them be 

 near the glass, and give air at every favourable oppor- 

 tunity. They will flower grandly and compensate you 

 for your trouble. 



When the flowering is over let them go to rest, but do 

 not distress them in any way, and take care they never 

 become dust dry. When they have rested about a month 

 repot them, and take care in doing so to remove all the 

 old soil without doing any injury to the roots. When 

 you have acquired some experience you may assist the 

 bloom with liquid manure; but a beginner should not 

 venture on this course, for the cyclamen is hot a gross 

 feeder, and a good bloom may be secured without the aid 

 of any stimulant.
