CANNELLS’ CYCLAMEN PERSICUM. 
CANKELLg’ CYCI-AMEX GIGAXTEUM. ( 78 ) ' 
(Primulacea). 
OURS ARE THE FINEST AND NEAREST 
PERFECTION EVER SEEN. 
Awarded a Silver Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society for 
our Strain. 
During the spring our two houses, filled with the best hybrids, is one 
of the grandest floral sights round London. We invite all to come and see 
how, and from what, we save our seeds. 
Cyclamen, although so beautiful, yet how seldom do we see them 
grown well, except by a few ; yet to alter this their few natural wants 
should have attention, and merely mentioned to be thoroughly understood, 
then the result would be the reverse. 
Sow seeds thinly, jn a compost of two parts turfy yellow loam, one of 
peat and leaf mould mixed together, and one part of thoroughly decayed 
cow-dung sifted very fine, and a little silver sand ; cover the seeds to the 
depth of a quarter of an inch ; place the pots on a shelf in the greenhouse, 
near the glass in the winter, and in summer in any shaded pit. Under no 
circumstances must the surface of the soil become dry. Some of the seeds 
take four months to germinate. 
After the plants have attained one or two leaves, and formed a small 
bulb, remove with root intact into small and well-drained pots, at all times 
using the soil mentioned above, adding one ounce to every peck of soil of 
our Real Manure, well mixed. Of course these small pots and plants must 
be watered with a rose on water-can, and hence the foliage moistened at 
every watering, and: if anything but the cleanest rain water is ever used, the 
leaves become corroded with a white slime, and unsatisfactory results will 
be sure to follow, and as the entire health of the plant depends on a few 
leaves only, these precious leaves must be kept of a bright green hue from 
the first seedling leaf up to the flowering period. All sun must be avoided 
during the late spring and summer, and never allowed to shine on them 
after 8 o’clock a.m. and before 4 o’clock p.m. A cold frame in a shaded 
position, pitched north, is the best place for them, and as soon as they have 
made their season’s growth, and show signs of going to rest, withhold water 
for a fortnight, shake away all soil, and re-pot. Be particular that the bulbs 
are buried just below the surface, except the crown, and after all are placed 
in a shaded frame, and every pot placed on a hard surface, so that no worms 
can enter ; keep lights off in all moderate weather, and as cool as possible 
during hot weather, and in about a month new foliage will begin to push 
up; showery weather and night dews assist them immensely. Remove to a 
greenhouse, place them close to the glass, with plenty of air and light ; they 
will be a surprise and delight all the winter. As soon as they show flower, 
give liquid manure once a fortnight ; and if the foliage becomes too vigorous, 
withhold it.
