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 so or 1 r a.m.

CYCLAMEN. 
All the European Cyclamen are hardy, they 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 grass, near the roots and under the shelter of old trees, 
the effect is most charming. Europreum commences flowering in July ; the Hederaefolium varieties follow in 
Autumn ; Atkinsi, Ibericum, and Coum are Winter-flowering ; Repandum and Vemum close the Cyclamen 
season in April. These hardy Cyclamen are beautiful pot plants when skilfully cultivated. See General 
Autumn Catalogue. 
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. Ground roots, 25 s. per 100 ; per doz., 4s. 6 d. 
Seed saved from the Large Flowered Prize Varieties of C. persicum, is. 6 d. and as. 6 d. per packet.

HYACINTHUS CANDICANS (THE GREAT SNOW-WHITE SUMMER-FLOWERING HYACINTH). 
Hyaclnthus Candlcans is perhaps the most ornamental of summer-flowering hardy bulbs ; it 
attains a height of 3 to 6 feet, according to soil and situation, and is surmounted with 20 to 50 
graceful pendant bell-shaped flowers. It is equally decorative for the flower border and conserva- 
tory. Figured in The Garden, 1881. Flowering bulbs, per 100, 21/-, 30/-, and 42/ ;

GLADIOLUS RAMOSUS, 
And other Early-flowering Gladioli. 
Culture. — Trench the ground, working in plenty of rotten manure in the underspit ; plant the varieties 
of Colvilli, Cardinalis, and Byzantinus from the beginning of October, and the others from November till March, 
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. — Plant three to five, according to the size of root, in a five 
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 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.

FRENCH VARIETIES OF GLADIOLUS GANDAVENSIS. 
Time of Planting. — From the middle of April to the beginning of June we consider the best time to plant : 
when one planting only is made, we should recommend it being done early in May, but if (ucccssional 
plantings are made, commence middle of April, and continue fortnightly till the middle of June.
