1216 Cy'clamen Per'slcum saved from fine varieties i o 
1247 ,, liardy varieties In mixture, including autumn, winter, and spring-flowering kinds. 
Thtse beautiful hardy autumn Jl<m,crhig Cyclamen are charmi 7 tg plants on rock- 
work, in select flower borders^ and on dry banks, also valuable for pot culture ; the 
foliage is exquisitely variegated during winter and spring, while the flowers in 
some of the varieties are almost as fine as those of Pcrsicum, and many of them arc 
delightfully fragrant. As winter bedding plants these arc matchless, especially if 
associated with Snowdrops and Scilla Sibirica. For plants see page 74 is. ik 2 6

Sown in spring these bloom profusely in autumn, yielding a ( 
large proportion of fine double flowers. ( 
Splendid plants for large conservatories ; the flowers are\ 
bell-shaped, and produced in terminal pyramids. ) 
For flower borders, shrubberies, and large beds on lawns, 
it wo7tld be difficult to find plants of easier culture and 
more remarkably effectUfe. The habit of the plant is^ 
graceful, the colour of the flowers rich and beautiful. 
P'o> back lines in flower borders, and for distant effect, 
these species of Dahlias are all that could be desired.

DIAN'THUS, Nat. Ord. GaryopTiylla'ceo}. Splendid hardy annuals, etc. 
D. sinensis (Chinese or Indian Pink, as it is sometimes called) ranks foremost in bedding plants from seed. 
Raised early in spring -under glass, potted on and planted out, it is in bloom -in June, and will continue covered 
with dowers till late in autumn, if a little attention is paid to it. Some of the finest effects in our Experimental 
Grounds have been produced by the varieties of hnpertalis, Heddewigii, Laciniatus, and Nanus. If seed is sown 
in autumn the plants stand the winter, and in summer each playit will form a complete bush. The flowers range 
in colour from the purest white to the deepest crimson and the snost beatUiful lilac. Seed may also be sown 
from March to May out of doors where intended to bloom for a summer and late autumn display.
