THE CYCLAMEN. 



How seldom we see this lovely plant, 

 and yet how many go into raptures over 

 a plant in bloom. This very beautiful, 

 winter-flowering bulb has three-fold merit, 

 for it combines neatness of habit, elegant 

 foliage and a lovely flower. The bulbs 

 can be bought of any florist. Plant in 

 October or November in a five-inch pot, 

 using light rich soil. When planted it 

 should be at least one-third out of the 

 ground, or the whole crown exposed. 

 Many lose their fine bulbs by covering 

 crown of bulbs. Water sparingly until it 

 grows vigorously, then keep moist. If 

 the plant never bloomed, the beauty, of its 

 foliage alone would find it among choice 

 collections. But bloom it will, if you only 

 give it a chance. The dark-red and 

 white blossoms make a lovely contrast to 

 the silver and green foliage. The giant- 

 flowered type is the most popular and 

 gives the best satisfaction.

THE ROMAN HYACINTH. 



Last winter I had some beautiful Roman 

 hyacinths. I put them in berry baskets. 

 I put them away in the dark, like any 

 other bulb, then I brought them in and 

 put them in a north window back of the 

 cook-stove for awhile. When they needed 

 water I set them in a pan of warm water 

 for about thirty or forty minutes; this will 

 make the stems grow tall. 



After the buds were nearly ready to 

 open, I put them in a sunny window in 

 the sitting-room. After they had opened 

 I changed them to different places, still
