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. Cyclamen blooms freely and for a 

 long period, furnishing the most graceful and dainty of all cut-flowers. Our strains 

 come from a famous European Cyclamen breeder and are the finest in existence.
