purposes the types Nos. 1651 to 1653 are the most recommended, and those to which our remarks more especially 
apply. Make successional plantings till May, in situations not exposed to the mid-day or afternoon sun, and a 
supply of rich scarlet flowers can be maintained till July. Chionodoxa lucilice contrasts charmingly with this

SUNDRY ANEMONES. 
A. Apennina has rich blue flowers with elegant foliage, and is one of the most lovely of dwarf early 
Spring flowers which, when intermingled with Triteleia conspic-ua , the delicate porcelain flowers of the one 
blend with the rich bright blue of the other in a most charming manner. A . Blatida resembles Apennina , 
but is deeper in colour and earlier. A. japonica , white, rose and red, are the most decorative of Autumn- 
flowering herbaceous plants. each— s.

CYCLAMEN. 
During the Winter months, the charming varieties of Cyclamen Persicum are brought to Covent Garden 
Market in large quantities, some of the specimens with upwards of two hundred flowers, and realizing as much 
as three guineas each. For winter decoration the Cyclamen Persicum is indispensable, and no flower is so highly 
prized for button-hole bouquets and finger-glasses. In Cornwall, and a few such favoured places in England and 
Ireland it is hardy, and used for out-door decoration. 
The European varieties of Cyclamen are quite hardy, but require perfect drainage and shelter from the 
cutting winds of Spring and the sun's rays of Summer. On rockwork, and at the bottom of old walls, they are 
charming ; and in semi-wild places, nestling in the grass, near the roots and under the shelter of old trees, the 
effect is most beautiful. In our Experimental Grounds, close to an old elm tree, these hardy Cyclamen can be 
seen in bloom from July to April. Europaeum commences flowering in July ; the varieties of Hederaefolium 
succeed these; Atkinsi and Coum flower in Winter; Repandum and Vemum in April. These hardy Cyclamen, 
skilfully cultivated in pots, though not so gay as the varieties of Persicum, are no less beautiful. The genus, 
according to the latest researches, may be divided into five specific heads or types, thus : — Europaeum, Summer 
flowering ; Hederaefolium, which embraces Graecum, Africanum, Macrophyllum, etc., Autumn flowering ; 
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 ; 
Hederaefolium 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 old trees in wild gardens. 25*. per 100. 
Cyclamen Hederaefolium and its varieties Graecum, etc., have beautiful Ancectochilus-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, Chionodoxa luciliae, and Snowdrops. In 
Autumn, from amidst the foliage, rises a profusion of magenta-coloured flowers, which, if followed in Spring by 
the intermingling of either Scillas, Chionodoxa, Snow-flake, or 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 15s. per 100.
