CYCI^AMEN. 



Charming plants, with beautiful foliage and rich-colored, fragrant flowers j 

 universal favorites for winter and spring blooming. The Giganteum varieties 

 have large leaves and stout flower stalks, throwing the flowers well above the 

 foliage. Seed may be sown any time during the autumn or spring in shallow 

 boxes (2 inches deep) at a temperature of 60°. As soon as the seedlings 

 have made two leaves, transplant into 2-inch pots and place on shelf near the 

 light, but shaded from direct sunlight ; shift into 3-inch size, and into larger 

 as the operation becomes necessary. The strains we offer of these are un- 

 surpassable. PEH PKT.

 adding enormously to the lasting properties of the flower 50
