CYCLAMEN. 
There is no more ornamental plant for green-house or parlor culture, than the Cyclamen. It grows readily, 
blossoms freely, and remains a long time in flower. The soil should be equal parts of turfy loam, leaf mold, and 
silver sand. Put in pots three times the diameter of the bulb, in October. Keep them in a cool, light place, 
watering lightly till growth begins ; then water freely and give plenty of light and air. On the approach of cold 
weather, remove toa warmer situation—the parlor or green-house—but keep them near the light. The whole 
secret of growing Cyclamens to perfection is ¢ight, atv, and a low temperature.
