40 Alpine Plants. 
perfectly firm: Although requiring partial shade, the 
corms must yet be sufficiently exposed to sun for 
them to become thoroughly ripened after flowering. 
In a wet season, care should be taken to remove the 
decaying leaves from the corms as they go to rest, 
as otherwise their centres are liable to become rotten 
under the influence of stagnant moisture. Before 
the flowering season top-dress around the corms, but 
not over them, with two parts of leaf-mould ta one of 
loam, and make thoroughly firm. To prevent an 
unsightly blank in summer, a little Menth: Requienia 
* may be planted between the corms, care being taken 
that it does not spread over them in its aftergrowth. 
Cyclamen Coum vernum, see Cyclamen ibericum. 
Cyclamen europeum (Central and Southern Europe). 
This species requires different treatment, as it 
makes off-sets and runs in the ground. It is 
not partial to any aspect if properly treated. To 
plant, make a hole in the flat, rft. deep, and fill 
in with a mixture of limestone in 4in. to Tin. 
cubes, or old mortar rubbish, and an equal 
portion of loam, planting the Cyclamen 2in. 
below the surface and from 6in. to 8in. apart. 
After flowering, top-dress with lime rubbish and a 
little loam.
