CYCLAMEN. 



Most of them ready in November. 



When well grown, it is difficult to find a more useful 

 plant than this for greenhouse, room and window decora- 

 tions. The various species produce flowers varying from 

 deep red to pure M-hite, and of much elegance of form in 

 flower and plant. The C. giganteiim is an improved strain 

 of the old C. Persicum, having much larger and more bril- 

 liantly colored flowers, and producing them more abund- 

 antly. We offer seed of our superb strain of these at the 

 end of this Catalogue.
