Cyclamen, New S^veet-scented. No. 3146. 



Ko. 3146. Cyclamen, New S welt-scented. 

 A fragrant Cyclamen has been quite beyond ex- 

 pectation, nevertheless we have in this splendid 

 novelty a variety having a particularly pleasant 

 odor resembling that of the Honey Locust or of 

 the Lily of the Valley. The plant is of good habit, 

 vigorous growth, and very free flowering. The 

 fragrant flowers are borne on stout, erect stems 

 rising well above the foliage, and they are usually 

 double. The colors are pink, flesh-pink with car- 

 mine base and white. This is unquestionably the 

 most important greenhouse introduction of the 

 year Pkt., 1 .00
