CYCLAMEN. 



Charming winter j6id spring blooming tuberous-rooted plants, many* of them as remarkable for the beautiful 

 variegation of their f<#iage as for their flowers, which are the personification of neatness, chasteness, beauty, and 

 grace. In a finger-glass, a lady's bouquet, or a gentleman's button-hole, no flower elicits so much marked atten- 

 tion and admiration as the Cyclamen. Their culture is very simple ; all the varieties will succeed in a sitting- 

 room window, a cool greenhouse or conservatory, placed close to the glass. The varieties of Atkinsi, Coum, 

 Graecum, Hedercefolium, Repandum, Vernum, and Europseum, are perfectly hardy as regards cold ; but should 

 have a little shelter against the cutting winds of Spring and the hot sunshine of Summer. When planted in the 

 open border, a suitable position should be chosen. The soil should be removed, and rubble to the depth of a 

 foot to eighteen inches should be put in, and on this a nice compost of a few inches of vegetable soil, loam, and 

 sand. The bulbs planted and left to themselves will grow freely, and established masses will give an abundance 

 of flowers. On rockwork and in rooteries, the hardy Cyclarten are quite at home. Grown in pots, the simplest 

 protection that can be afforded by a frame will be ample, taking care that the drainage is well attended to, as 

 they are most impatient of moisture at the roots. When in growth they should have plenty of moisture overhead ; 

 indeed all Cyclamens cultivated in pots, under glass, when growing freely, should be syringed at least twice a 

 day. After repotting, the pots should be placed in a house or frame with a due north aspect, and when removed 

 to their blooming situation, they should be placed, if possible, with a southern aspect. 



Cyclamen Europseum we import extensively from the Alps, and annually large quantities of this delightfully 

 fragrant variety bloom in our Experimental Grounds ; and as they grow freely in the flower border, we strongly 

 recommend their extensive culture on rockwork, the bottom of old walls, in wild gardens, etc. The price is 25:. 

 per 100. 



Persicum and its varieties are not hardy, but succeed in a very low temperature, such as may be afforded' by 

 a cool greenhouse or drawing-room, and they will thrive also in a stove or an orchid-house. 



All the varieties of Cyclamen are sent out in their blooming-pots, with the exception of the Europseum, which 

 are offered at a cheap rate. These we have growing in the open ground. 



Mixed varieties of Persicum consist principally of the large-flowering kinds, such as annually carry off the 

 first prizes at the great Spring Flower Shows at the Royal Horticultural Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens ;. 

 many of them being fragrant.
