CYCLAMEN. 
CYCLAMEN PERSICUM ( Greenhouse varieties). 
Cyclamen perslcum is an indispensable plant for indoor decoration, and few flowers are more highly prized 
for button-hole bouquets, ladies’ dresses, and finger-glasses. It may be cultivated in a cool greenhouse, or cold 
frame, with a little winter protcc'ion ; but it is in a temperature of 45 0 to fio° the Covent Garden growers pro- 
duce their fine plants, from seed sown in November, the young plants not being allowed to go to rest till they 
have flowered the following winter.

CYCLAMEN, HARDY SPECIES, for Rockwork out-of-doors. 
All the Hardy Cyclamen are European ; they require perfect drainage, and shelter from the cutting winds 
of March and April and the hot rays of the Summer sun ; at the bottom of old walls facing north and on 
rockwork they are very beautiful ; or nestling in the grass, near the roots and under the shelter of old trees, 
the effect is most charming. C. F.uropceum is fragrant, and commences flowering in July. C. Neapolilanum . 
Grcecum, and Africanum flower in Autumn, and have beautiful Anoectochilus-like variegated leaves ; these 
again are succeeded by the winter flowering varieties — lbericutn , and Count, which bloom from December to 
March ; Repatidum closes the Cyclamen season in April. Rtpandum and Africanum should be planted in 
warm, protected situations on rockwoik, and covered with leaves or bracken till March. 
The Cyclamen Neapolitan varieties are perfectly hardy, and have beautiful Ancectochilus-like variegated 
leaves ; they are unusually decorative throughout Autumn and Spring, and might well be used for \Vinte2 
beds, intermingled with Scillas, Chionodoxas, Leucojums, Narcissus nanus, &c., Snowdrops, Muscaris, &c. 
stir These hardy Cyclamen are kept in pots ready for despatch at all seasons.

HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 
THE GREAT SNOW-WHITE SUMMER-FLOWERING HYACINTH. 
1074 Hyacinthus Candicans attains a height of 3 to 6 feet, according to soil and situation, and is sur- 
mounted with 20 or 50 graceful pendant pure white bell-shaped flowers, equally decorative for 
the flower border or the conservatory. Figured in The Garden , 1881. Per 100, 6/6 & 8/6 ; per doz. 1/3 & 1/6 
GLADIOLI. 
EARLY-FLOWERIXG HARDY GLADIOLI, for Autumn-Planting. 
Bulhs ready from October. 
These beautiful Early-flowering Gladioli are greatly prized as cut flowers from May to July for filling 
vases, Sec. ; and on this account, as also for the fine effect they produce in the flower garden, they should be 
largely planted. G. Colvillei, “The Bride,” is exceptionally valuable, and is extensively grown in pots to 
cut during April, May, and June for Covent Garden Market. All the Gladioli we have enumerated as early- 
flowering may be grown in pots for indoor decoration. 
Culture. — A sunny situation is preferred. Trench the ground, working in plenty of rotten manure in the 
underspit ; plant the varieties of Colvillei, Cardinalis, and Byzantinus from October to December, and the 
others from November to February, at a depth of six inches. If the summer is dry and the weather hot, a good 
soaking of water or liquid manure twice a week greatly benefits the growing plants. When planted in autumn , 
the beds should be lightly covered with fern or cocoa fibre. 
Culture for Conservatory Decoration. — Plant three to five bulbs, according to size, in a five 
or six-inch pot, plunge in ashes in a cold frame or pit, withholding water till the bulbs have started into 
growth ; or, the pots may be buried in ashes out of doors, as recommended for the Hyacinth, and there allowed 
to remain undisturbed till ready to remove indoors. It is customary with some to plant several bulbs close 
together in the open border, and when the flower begins to colour, lift without breaking the ball, pot, and place 
indoors. So treated, the flowers expand as if the bulbs had not been disturbed.
