CYCLAMEN 



t^lTos/ of them ready in November 

 When well grown, it is difficult to find 

 a more useful plant than this for green- 

 house, room and window decorations. 

 The various species produce flowers vary- 

 ing from deep red to pure white, and of 

 much elegance of form in flower and plant. 

 The C. giganteum is an improved strain 

 of the old C. persinim, having much larger 

 and more brilliantly colored flowers, and 

 producing them more abundantly. We 

 oflfer seed of our superb strain of these at 

 the end of this Catalogue.
