 No. 1580, p. 139; 1/3 /1902). — An account of a relatively new race of 

 frilled — not fringed — Cyclamens raised in the nursery of Mr. Alwin 

 Eichter at Dresden. It appears that the one parent type, C. persicum 

 gigantcum, was imported from England some twenty years ago. It has 

 taken twenty years to fix the frilling so as to obtain an average of 60 per 

 cent, of the seedlings true. — E. T. C.
