HARDY CYCLAMEN. 
HARDY CYCLAMEN NATURALISED AT FOOT OF A TREE. 
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 Europeeum, which should 
be planted 4 to 6 inches deep ; they should all have 
a mulching of well-decayed leaf soil after planting.
