CYCLAMEN, CROWN IMPERIALS, FRITILLARIAS, AND WOOD HYACINTHS. 29 
Cyclamen— continued. 
Cyclamen Europaeum we import from the Alps. It is a delightfully fragrant species, and we strongly 
recommend its culture on rockwork, at the bottom of old walls and in wild gardens. 2$s. per too. 
Cyclamen Hedenefolium and its varieties Grsecum, etc., have beautiful Anoectochilus-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, and Snowdrops. In Autumn, from amidst 
the foliage, rises a profusion of magenta-coloured flowers, which, followed by the Scillas and Snowdrops, 
will yield a succession and variety so charming that we must leave the effect to the imagination of our readers. 
Cyclamen Persicum and its varieties, as indoor plants, succeed at a very low temperature, sueh as a cool 
greenhouse or even a cold frame with a little proteetion. They also thrive and make vigorous plants in a 
stove or orchid house, and should be one of the principal decorative plants, indoors, in Winter and Spring.

CROWN IMPERIALS. 
These are stately border plants, producing in Spring effective clusters of pendent bell-shaped flowers, sur- 
mounted by tufts of fresh green leaves. The plants are especially adapted for shrubbery borders and outlying 
situations, where early-flowering plants of stalely growth are required. They succeed in almost any soil and 
situation, but thrive best in loam. per doz. each. per doz. each,

FRITILLARIAS. 
The varieties of F. Meleagris have singularly marbled pendent bell-shaped flowers. They are effective in flower 
borders and shrubberies, and are valuable for naturalization in ornamental parks and woodland walks. Persica is 
almost as stately as the Crown Imperial ; its bluish-green foliage, and small, dusky, pendent, bell-shaped 
flowers impart to it a very distinctive character. Pyrenaica, like Meleagris, is dwarf, with smaller flowers 
and less chequered. Kamschatkensis is the Sarana Kamschatkense, the Lilium Kamscliatkense and the Black 
Lily ; the flowers are very remarkable. Pudica is a charming dwarf yellow variety, recently tigured in The Garden, 
All the Fritillarias grow freely in any ordinary garden soil.

SCILLA (THE WOOD HYACINTH). 
The varieties of Wood Hyacinths which we quote are a selection of the finest and most distinct, and cannot 
be other than acceptable border plants. For many years we collected these Wood Hyacinths, and few indeed 
are aware how many beautiful things are in this family, notably those from Spain, which are ranged under the 
head of Campanulata, Patula, and Cernua, The two varieties of Campanulata, Emperor a.nd Empress, 
flowers almost as large as a Dutch Hyacinth, and are exceedingly handsome in beds, as are also all the varieties of 
Campanulata ; but when permanently established in groups in the flower and shrubbery borders, they are the most 
decorative of May-flowering bulbs. For table bouquets and filling vases, the white varieties are much sought 
after. We can also recommend the finer varieties of Campanula'a and all the while sorts as pot plants. For 
naturalization in woods and wild gardens these bulbs should be planted extensively, being not only extremety 
hardy, but very accommodating, succeeding in almost any situation or soil, and in shady or sunny aspects. Scilla 
nutans embraces the English and Belgian native plants.
