These Giant Cyclamens are among the most charming Flowers we 

 have for the parlor or conservatory and almost unequalled in laeauty.

 stalks which continue to bloom several months, they make elegant pots 

 of flowers for Winter and Spring. The flowers are exceedingly beautiful 

 and range in color through many shades of pink, crimson and white; the 

 leaves are also finely variegated, making a splendid plant for the living 

 room, window or conservatory; they like plenty of light and air, but not

 allowed to rest like Calla Lilies till time to pot up again.
