CYCLAMEN, CROWN IMPERIALS, FRITILLARIAS, AND WOOD HYACINTHS. 29 
Cyclamen— continued. 
Persicum, Winter flowering ; Ibericum, which takes in Atkinsi and Coum, Winter flowering ; Vernum, and 
its ally, Repandum, Spring flowering. Thus, out-of-doors, Europaeum is in flower in July and August ; 
Hedersefolium from August to November; Ibericum and its allies in December, January, February, and March ; 
Vernum and Repandum in April. 
Cyclamen Europaeum we import from the Alps. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, and the species 
is a valuable plant for rockwork, and to plant at the bottom of old walls and in wild gardens. 25 s. per 100. 
Cyclamen Hedersefolium and its varieties Graecum, etc., have beautiful Anoectochilus-like variegated foliage, 
which is decorative throughout the Autumn and Spring months, and is uninjured by the weather. Often in the 
dead of Winter have we gazed upon masses of these, and felt surprised that they have not been used as 
Winter bedding plants, associated with Scilla bifolia, Scilla sibirica, and Snowdrops. In Autumn, from amidst 
the foliage, rises a profusion of magenta-coloured flowers, which, if followed in Spring by Scillas and Snowdrops, 
a succession and variety would be had, so charming that we must leave the effect to the imagination of our 
readers. 
Cyclamen Persicum and its varieties succeed at a very low temperature, such as a cool greenhouse or a 
cold frame with a little protection. They also thrive and make vigorous plants in a stove or orchid house, 
and should be one of the principal indoor decorative plants in Winter and Spring. 
All Cyclamen are sent out established in pots, except the roots of EuropcEum, at 25 s. per 100.

CROWN IMPERIALS. 
These are stately border plants, producing in Spring effective clusters of pendent bell-shaped flowers, sur- 
mounted by tufts of fresh green leaves. The plants are especially adapted for shrubbery borders and outlying- 
situations, where early-flowering plants of stately growth are required. They succeed in almost any soil and 
situation, but thrive best in loam.

FRITILLARIAS. 
The varieties of F. Meleagris have singularly marbled pendent bell-shaped flowers. They are effective in flower 
borders and shrubberies, and are valuable for naturalization in ornamental parks and woodland walks. Persica is 
almost as stately as the Crown Imperial ; its bluish-green foliage, and small, dusky, pendent, bell-shaped 
flowers impart to it a very distinctive character. Pyrenaica, like Meleagris, is dwarf, with smaller flowers 
and less chequered. Kamschatkensis is the Sarana Kamschatkense, the Lilium Kamschatkense and the Black 
Lily ; the flowers are very remarkable. Pudica is a charming dwarf yellow species, recently figured in The Garden. 
All the Fritillarias grow freely in any ordinary garden soil.

SCILLA (THE WOOD HYACINTH). 
The varieties of Wood Hyacinths which we quote are a selection of the finest and most distinct, and cannot 
be other than acceptable border plants. For many years we collected these Wood Hyacinths, and few indeed 
are aware how many beautiful things are in this family, notably those from Spain, which are ranged under the 
head of Caunpannlata. Patula, and Cernua. The two varieties of Campanulata, Emperor and Empress, have 
flowers almost as large as a Dutch Hyacinth, and are exceedingly handsome in beds, as are also all the varieties of 
Campanulata, especially when permanently established in groups in flower and shrubbery borders, where they are 
the most decorative of May-flowering bulbs. For table bouquets and filling vases, the white variet'es are much 
sought after We recommend the finer varieties of Campanula'.-! and more particularly the while sorts for pot 
culture. For naturalization in woods and wild gardens these Scillas should be planted extensively, being not 
only extremely hardy, but very accommodating, succeeding in almost any situation or soil, and in shady or sunny 
aspects. Scilla nuians embraces the English and Belgian native plants.
