CYCLAMEN HARDY, for Rockwork out-of-doors. 
All the Hardy Cyclamen arc 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 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. Europeeum troots from the open ground, 25/- per 100) commences flowering in July, 
and the blossoms are very fragrant, the varieties of C. Hedera folium, in Autumn, and have beautitul 
Anoectochilus-like variegated leaves; these again are succeeded by the winter flowering varieties --Atkinsi, 
Jbericum , and Coum, which bloom from December to March ; Rtpandum and / ernum close the Cyclamen 
season in April, and as these two are Italian species, they should be planted in sheltered nooks on rockwork, and 
protected with leaves till March. We have all the varieties of Hardy Cyclamen naturalized under large elm 
trees, and they maybe seen flowering from July to April. . , , 
The Cyclamen hedersefolium varieties, with their beautiful Ancectochilus-like variegated leaves, are 
unusually decorative throughout Autumn and Spring, and often have we felt surprised that not more advantage 
has been taken of these for Winter beds, intermingling with them for succession Scilla bifolia, bcilla sibirica, 
Chionodoxas, Leucojum vemum, Narcissus nanus, Snowdrops, Muscaris, &c. 
£oT These hardy Cyclamen are kept in pots ready for despatch at all seasons , C. Europesum , at 25T. per 100, 
are lifted from the bed out of doors as wanted.

GLADIOLI. 
EARLY-FLOWERING HARDY GLADIOLI. 
These beautiful Early-flowering Gladioli are greatly prized as cut flowers in July, and on this accouiU should 
be largely planted, as also for the fine effect they produce in the flower garden. G. Colvilli, The Knae, 
exceptionally valuable, and is extensively grown in pots to cut during April, May and June for Covent Card 
Market. All these may be grown in pots for indoor decoration, or to cut for filling vases, etc. 
Culture. — Trench the ground, working in plenty of rotten manure in the underspit ; plant . 
Colvilli, Cardinalis, and Byzantinus from the beginning of October, and the others from November till 1 larc , 
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. ....... , . „ 
Culture FOR Conservatory Decoration.— P lant three to five, according to the size of root, m a hve 
or six-inch pot, and plunge in ashes in a cold frame or pit, and withhold 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 seyera 
close together in the open border, and when the flower begins to colour, lift without breaking the a , { > 
place indoors. So treated, the flowers expand as if the bulbs had not been disturbed.
