We have at present in our experimental grounds a long row of C. Europium in full bloom ; its 
beautiful red flowers being delightfully fragrant. 
Persicum and its varieties are not hardy, but succeed in a very low temperature, such as may be 
afforded by a cool greenhouse or drawing-room, and they will succeed also in the stove or in the 
orchid-house. 
All the varieties of Cyclamen are sent out in their blooming pots, with the exception of Europajum, 
which is offered at a cheap rate. These are lifted out of the ground. 
Mixed varieties of Persicum consist principally of the large-flowering kinds, such as annually cany 
off the first prizes at the great Spring Flower Shows of the Royal Horticultural Gardens and ihe Royal 
Botanic Gardens ; many of them being fragrant.

SCILLA. 
Amongst spring and early summer flowers the Scilla is of the first importance, whether viewed for 
its effect in the flower garden, or its value as a cut flower. Scilla sibirica is of the most intense blue 
and a gem amongst flowers. In our experimental grounds it was in bloom this season throughout 
February and March. As an edging, or for filling a small bed planted sufficient!}'- thick, or grown in 
r oups of from a dozen to a hundred, it is matchless. In pots and in jardinets it is equally decorative. 
amcena is also beautiful, but grows a little taller and flow r er3 somewhat later. It is useful as a 
succession. S. bifolia is a pretty little thing, but none of them can compare with Sibirica. 
S. campanulata and its varieties are very effective, and should be grown in masses or in long lines 
several deep and left undisturbed for years. S. nutans is also showy. In woodland walks and wild 
situations of any kind Campanulata and Nutans are quite at home. S. peruviana throws up an immense 
head of bloom, and in June established masses of this are exceedingly effective. 
S. amoena and S. sibirica, are of the most lovely azure blue, growing three inches high ; and flower- 
ing as they do in March, they make exquisite pot plants, and associate admirably Math the Snowdrop, 
Crocus, Hyacinth, <fcc., in all the elegant contrivances which ingenuity can suggest for in-door decoration ; 
as edgings or for beds, in the Spring flower garden, they are unique. M. botryoides makes a pretty dwarf 
edging* growing three inches high. S. hyacinthoides, and all the other varieties, make excellent groups 
in the flower border or in beds.
