HARDY 
HARDY CYCLAMEN NATURALISED AT FOOT OF A TREE. 
CYCLAMEN. 
Autumn-, Winter- and Spring- 
Flowering. 
These Hardy Cyclamen require perfect drainage, 
and shelter from ground winds and the early morning 
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, they produce a most charming effect ; they are 
also good subjects for fern plantations, where they 
obtain the shade they like. In making up a soil for 
the hardy Cyclamen, add a liberal proportion of old 
mortar rubble with some well-decayed leaf soil and 
good fibrous loam. These Cyclamen prefer shallow 
planting with the exception only of Europaum, which 
should be planted 4 to 6 inches deep ; they should all 
have a mulching of well-decayed leaf soil after planting. 
Collections of Autumn, Y/inter, and Spring- 
flowering Cyclamen.
