Farquhar's Columbian Prize Cyclamen. 



CYCLAMEN Persictim. Our strains of Cyclamen have gained a national reputation and are freely 



acknowledged to be the finest in the country. The seeds which are grown for us by specialists in Europe are 

 all of the giant-flowering type, and of the most improved varieties. 



At the WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, Chicago, we were awarded both Grand 

 Medal and Diploma. 



" Garden and Forest," in commenting on the Exhibition of Cyclamen Plants at the World's 

 Fair, at which specialists from all over the world had exhibits in competition, says : 



"The exhibit of R. 6°/. Farquhar &* Company, Boston, is one of the largest and makes the best impression as 

 a whole. Their Mont Blanc Cyclamen is the fi nest white in the Exhibition, if not the best of any strain. . . . 

 The contrast was great between the small -flowering type {of other exhibitors) and the large flowers in the exhibition 

 of R. cV_/. Farquhar &> Company."

 sees them pronounces them the best ever seen. Yours very truly, C.J. IV., Gardener to Mrs. J. S.
