CROWN IMPERIAL 
The Crown Imperial (Fritillaria imperialis) is a stately hardy; border-plant, very effective 
in Spring. Its tall stem terminates in a cluster of large drooping bell-shaped flowers, surmounted by 
a whorl of fresh green leaves. For forming bold groups in the permanent border or on lawns it is 
of great value. To obtain the best success plant the bulbs in September and by preference on their 
sides, to prevent moisture accumulating in the centre. We offer specially strong selected bulbs.

per doz. 15/-, 21/-, 25/-, and 30/-; each, 1/6, 2/-, 2/6, 3/6, and 5/6, according to size. 
Seed for November Sowing per phi. 1/6 and 2/6. 
CYCLAMEN. Hardy Species for Rockwork Out-of-Doors. 
These Hardy Cyclamen require perfect drainage, and shelter from die cutting winds of March 
and April, and the hot rays of the Summer sun ; at the bottom of old walls facing nortli 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. In making up a soil for them add a liberal proportion of old lime or mortar 
rubbish and some old peat or leaf soil. C. Europceum is fragrant, and commences flowering in July. 
Ibericum and Count varieties bloom from December to March; Repandum closes the Cyclamen season 
in April. Repandum and Africanum should be planted in warm protected situations on rockwork, and 
covered with cut heather, straw, or a few light boughs, to keep off cutting ground winds till March. 
Cyclamen neapolitum is perfectly.hardy, and is covered with bloom during September, while throughout 
Autumn and Spring its large and beautifully variegated leaves render it valuable for Winter beds, inter- 
mixed with Scillas, Chionodoxas, Leucojums, Miniature Daffodils, Snowdrops, Muscaris, &c.
