HARDY 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-dec.ayed leaf soil after planting.
