CANNELLS’ CYCLAMEN PERSICUM. 
(Primulacem.) 
OURS ARE THE FINEST AND NEAREST. PERFECTION EVER SEEN. 
Awarded a Silver Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society for our Strain. 
Awarded a Silver Gilt Medal for a collection of plants, and a Certificate of Merit for the Strain, Royal Horticultural Society, 
io6 flowers on one plant. 
Daring 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 seed.s thinly, in a com]) 08 t of two parts turfy yellow loam, one ot 
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 mouths to germinate. 
After the plants have attained one or two leaves, and formed a small 
[)ulb remove with root intact into small and well-drained pots, at all times 
Ming the soil mentioned above, adding one ounce to every peck of soil of 
jur Real Manure, well mixed. Of course these small pots and plants must 
be watered with a rose on water-oan, 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 p ant depends on a few 
loaves only, these precious leaves must be kept of a bright green hue froQJ 
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 I 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 ; after flowering they have 
made their season’s growth, and show signs of going to rest, gradually with-
