FLOWER SEEDS 



Cyclamen tp 



A favorite pot-plant for winter and spring flowering, blooming in 

 eight to ten months from sowing. The seed is fine and must be 

 carefully handled, but few plants will so well repay a little extra care. 

 Our strains come from famous European Cyclamen breeders and 

 are the finest in existence.
