ANEMONE FULGENS (SCARLET WINDFLOWER). 
This is the most brilliant and graceful of all Winter and Spring-flowering Anemones. The rich dazzling 
scarlet flowers, and light elegant growth, render it the most attractive scarlet flower of Spring. It is valuable for 
table bouquets or vases, as it lasts a long time in water. If the roots are planted early, flowers may be gathered 
from Christmas, and, by successional plantings, from August to May, a continued display is maintained till late 
in autumn. The plantings made for summer and autumn-flowering must be in a situation where in summer the 
ground is moist, and in shade, after 10 or 11 a.m.

SUNDRY ANEMONES. 
Anemone apennina, the blue Mountain Windflower, forms a dense cushion of rich blue, and is one of the 
loveliest dwarf Spring flowers, and when associated with Triteleia conspicua, the delicate porcelain flowers 
of the one blend most charmingly with the rich bright blue of the other. A. blanda resembles A apennina , 
but is deeper in colour and 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 small neat 
flowers. A. nemorosa Robinsoniana is a remarkable plant, and Anemone nemorosa bracteata may be called " the 
Jack in the Green " of Anemones, the white flowers resting on a profusion of green bracts. As pot plants 
these Anemones at*e very charming. The Snowdrop Windflower Anemone sylvestris is the counterpart of 
Anemone japonica alba, but flowers in spring and summer. A. japonica , white, rose and red, are the most 
decorative of Autumn-flowering herbaceous plants.

CYCLAMEN. 
Cyclamen persicum, during the Winter months, is brought to Covent Garden Market in large quantities, 
many of the specimens having upwards of two hundred flowers, and realizing very high prices. This Cyclamen 
is an indispensable plant for indoor decoration, and few flowers are more highly prized for button-hole bouquets, 
ladies' dresse6, and finger-glasses. In Ireland, and a few favoured places in England, such as Cornwall and the 
Islands adjacent, it is hardy, and flowers out of doors. It is, however, preferable in all cases to plant out 
only the European species, which are quite hardy, and uninjured by the severest frost, excepting Vernum and 
Repandum, the Italian species ; these we recommend to be grown on sheltered rockwork, and protected with 
leaves or litter till February or March, when the foliage begins to appear, the flowers coming out in April. 
All the European Cyclamen require perfect drainage, and should be sheltered from the cutting winds 
of March and April, and the hot rays of the Summer sun ; planted at the bottom of old walls and 
on rockwork, they are very beautiful ; or nestling in the gTass, near the roots and under the shelter of old trees, 
the effect is most charming. Europaeum commences flowering in July; the Hederaefolium varieties follow in 
Autumn j Atkinsi, Ibericum, and Coum are Winter-flowering; Repandum and Vernum close the Cyclamen 
season in April. These hardy Cyclamen are beautiful pot plants when skilfully cultivated. According to the 
latest investigations, the genus Cyclamen divides itself into five specific heads or types, thus : — Europoeum, 
Summer-flowering ; Hederaefolium, Autumn-flowering ; Persicum, Winter-flowering ; Ibericum, of which 
Atkinsi and Coum are varieties, Winter-flowering ; Vernum and Repandum, Spring-flowering. Thus, out-of- 
doors, Europaeum flowers July and August; Hederaefolium, August to November; Ibericum, December, 
January, February, and March ; Vernum and Repandum, April. 
Cyclamen Europaeum, we have these roots collected on the Alps. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, 
and the foliage beautifully variegated ; it is a fine species either for rockwork, to plant at the bottom of old walls, 
to naturalize in the grass, or to plant in wild gardens. We have all the varieties of hardy Cyclamen growing 
under large elm-trees, where they have been for many years. Ground roots of Europceum, 25$. per 100. 
The varieties of Cyclamen hederaefolium have beautiful Anoectochilus-like variegated leaves, which are 
decorative during Autumn and Spring. When gazing in Winter on masses of this beautiful foliage, we have 
felt surprised that not more advantage has been taken of it for Winter beds, intermingling for a succession of 
flowers Scilla bifolia, Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxa Luciliae, Leucojuin vernum, Narcissus nanus, and ‘Snowdrops. 
In Autumn, from the ample foliage of C. Hederagfolium, rises a profusion of beautiful magenta-coloured flowers, 
and if these in Spring were followed by all or either of the bulbs named, a succession and variety so charming 
would be produced, that we must leave the reader to imagine the effect. 
Cyclamen persicum may be cultivated in a cool greenhouse or a cold frame with a little protection. They 
make vigorous plants in a stove or orchid house. In well-managed establishments, during Winter and Spring, 
C. persicum is of necessity one of the principal decorative plants. 
The hardy Cyclamen are kept in pots ready for despatch at all seasons, C. europceum, at 25 s. per ioo, 
are lifted from the bed as wanted.

Seedling plants, when properly cultivated, make fine specimens in about 12 months. [ Barr and Son,
