SUNDRY ANEMONES. 
Anemone apennina, the blue Mountain Windflower, forms a dense cushion of rich blue, and is one of the 
loveliest dwarf Spring flowers, and, when associated with Triteleia conspicua, the delicate porcelain flowers 
of the one blend most charmingly with the rich bright blue of the other. A. blanda resembles A. apennina, 
but flowers a month earlier. The varieties of Anemone nemorosa are most charming, and no flower border 
should be without its clumps of these, as they literally carpet the ground with their neat flowers. A. nemorosa 
Robinsoniana is a remarkable plant, and Anemone nemorosa bracteata may be called “the Jack in the Green " 
of Anemones, the white petals resting on a profusion of green bracts. As pot-plants these Anemones are very 
charming. A . japonica , white, rose and red, are the most decorative of Autumn-flowering herbaceous plants.

CYCLAMEN. 
CYCLAMEN PERSICUM (Greenhouse varieties). 
From November to March, Cyclamen persicum is brought in large quantities to Covent Garden Market, 
many of the specimens having upwards of two hundred flowers, and realizing high prices. This Cyclamen is an 
indispensable plant for indoor decoration, and few flowers are more highly prized for button-hole bouquets, 
ladies’ dresses, and finger-glasses. It may be cultivated in a cool greenhouse, or cold frame, with a little winter 
protection ; but it is in a temperature of 45 0 to 6o Q the Covent Garden growers produce their fine plants, and these 
are mostly from seed sown in November, and not allowed to go to rest till they have flowered the following winter. 
1682 Cyclamen persicum, very fine varieties for Greenhouse decoration, perdoz., according to size, 155., 21J.,

CYCLAMEN HARDY, for Rockwork out of doors. 
All the hardy Cyclamen are Europaean ; they 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 and on rockwork, 
they are very beautiful ; or nestling in the grass, near the roots and under the shelter of old trees, the effect 
is most charming. C. Europaeum (roots from the open ground, 25/- per 100) commences flowering in July, 
the blossoms arc very fragrant ; and is followed in Autumn by the varieties of C. Hederaefolium, which have beau- 
tiful Ancectochilus-like variegated leaves, these again are succeeded by the winter flowering varieties— -Atkinsi, 
Ibericum, and Coum, which flower from December to March ; Repandum and Vernum close the Cyclamen 
season in April, and as these two are Italian species, they should be planted in sheltered nooks on rockwork, and 
protected with leaves till March. We have all the varieties of hardy Cyclamen naturalized under large elm 
trees, and they may be seen flowering from July to April. 
The Cyclamen hederaefolium varieties, with their beautiful Ancectochilus-like variegated leaves, are unusually 
decorative throughout Autumn and Spring, and often have we felt surprised that not more advantage has 
been taken of these for Winter beds, intermingling with them for succession Scilla bifolia, Scilla sibirica, 
Chionodoxa Luciliae, Leucojum vernum, Narcissus nanus, Snowdrops, &c. 
The hardy Cyclamen are kept in pots ready for despatch at all seasons, C. europesum, at 2y. per 100, 
are lifted from the bed out of doors as wanted.
