BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1908. 
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 the cutting winds of March and 
April, and the hot rays of the Summer sun ; at the bottom of old walls facing north and 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. In making up a soil for the hardy Cyclamen, add a liberal proportion 
of old lime or mortar rubbish and some old peat or leaf soil. C. Europieum is fragrant, and flowers 
August to September. Ibericum varieties and Count bloom in Spring; Repan dll m closes the Cyclamen 
season in April ; this species should, in cold districts, be planted in warm protected situations on rock- 
work, and covered with cut heather, straw, or a few light boughs, to keep off cutting ground winds till 
March. They may also with advantage be grown in cold frames. 
Cyclamen neapolitanum is perfectly hardy, and is covered with bloom during September, while from 
Autumn to Spring its large and beautifully variegated leaves render it valuable for Winter beds, intermixed 
with Scillas, Chionodoxas, Leucojums, Miniature Daffodils, Snowdrops, Muscaris, etc.
