ANEMONES, VARIOUS SPECIES, CYCLAMEN, AND HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 23 
VARIOUS BEAUTIFUL ANEMONES. 
Anemone apennina, the blue Mountain Windflower, forms a dense cushion of rich blue, and is one of the 
loveliest dwarf Spring flowers. A. blanda resembles A apennina, but flowers a month earlier. The varieties 
of Anemone nemorosa are most charming, and no flower border should be without its clumps of these, as 
they literally carpet the ground with their neat flowers. A. nemorosa Kobinsoniana is remarkably beautiful, and 
Anemone nemorosa bracteata may be called “the Jack in the Green " of Anemones, the white petals resting on 
a profusion of green bracts. A. pulsatilla flowers spring and autumn, and makes a charming rock-plant. All 
the above-named species are charming on rockwork. A. rivularis is a very ornamental spring-flowering variety. 
As pot-plants these Anemones are very charming. A. japonica, white, rose and red. are the most decorative 
of Autumn-flowering herbaceous plants. Mr. William Robinson in his paper at the Conference on Hardy 
Flowers described the fine effect of Anemone apennina planted in meadows [the dowers and foliage passing 
astray before haymaking time) and also planted near to large elm trees ; he also recommends that Anemone 
Japonica be planted in rough places outside the garden.

CYCLAMEN. 
CYCLAMEN PERSICUM ( Greenhouse varieties). 
From November to March, Cyclamen peisicum is brought in large quantities to Covent Garden Market 
many of the specimens having upwards of two hundred flowers. This Cyclamen 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 protection ; but it is in a 
temperature of 45 0 to 6o° the Covent Garden growers produce their fine plants, and these are mostly from seed 
sown in November, and not allowed to go to rest till they have flowered the following winter. 
980 Cyclamen persicum grandiflorum, fine varieties for Greenhouse decoration, per doz., according to size, 
15J., 2 is. , 25J., and 30J. ; each, is. $d., 2 s., 2s. 6d., and 3*. 6 d. Plants in flower can be supplied from 
December at market prices. 
981 Seed from Large Flowered Prize Varieties of Cyclamen persicum. 2 s. 6d. and 3 s. 6d. per packet. 
Seedling plants, when properly cultivated, make fine specimens in 12 to 15 months. 
CYCLAMEN, HARDY SPECIES , for Rockwork out-of-doors. 
All the Hardy Cyclamen are Kuropaean ; 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. Europceum is fragrant, and commences flowering in ]uly. C. Hederasfoliutn, 
Africanum, and Neapolitanum flower in Autumn, and have beautiful Anoectochilus-Iike variegated leaves; 
these again are succeeded by the winter flowering varieties —Aikinsi, lbericum, and Coum, which bloom 
from December to March ; Pepandum and Fernum 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. 
Africanum and Neapolitanum should be planted in warm protected situations on rockwork. 
The Cyclamen hederaefolium varieties are perfectly hardy, and have beautiful* Ancectochilus - like 
variegated leaves ; they are unusually decorative throughout Autumn and Spring, and often have we felt sur- 
prised that not more advantage has been taken of them for Winter beds, intermingled for succession with Scilla 
bifolia. Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxas, Leucojum vernum, Narcissus nanus, Snowdrops, Muscaris, &c. 
AST These hardy Cyclamen are kept in pots ready for despatch at all seasons. C. European, at 21s. per 100, 
are lifted from the bed out of doors as wanted.
