CYCLAMEN. HARDY SPECIES for Rockwork Out-of-Doors. 
HARDY CYCLAMEN NATURALISED AT FOOT OF A TREE. 
These Hardy Cyclamen require perfect drainage, and shelter from ground winds and early morning 
sun ; established at the bottom of old walls facing north or on rockwork they are very beautiful, while, 
nestling in the grass, near the roots and under the shelter of old trees, they produce a most charming 
effect. For planting in among fern plantations they are also good subjects. In making up a soil for the 
hardy Cyclamen, add a liberal proportion of old lime or mortar rubble with some well-decayed leaf soil 
and good fibrous loam. Repandum should, in cold districts, be planted in warm protected situations on 
rockwork, and be given a slight protection in winter with cut heather, long straw or leaves till March, or 
it may be grown in a cold frame. All the hardy Cyclamen like being planted shallow, except Europauvi^ 
which should be put in 4 to 6 inches deep. After planting these Cyclamen give a mulching of well- 
decayed leaf soil.
