CYCLAMEN. (Carters Prizi; Strain.) Sow at any 
time (spring and autumn to be preferred) 
in pots or pans, in peaty loam and sand, covering the soil 
scarcely a quarter of an inch, place on warm shelf near the glass 
in greenhouse, keeping the soil moist but well drained. The 
seed takes from four to eight weeks to germinate. When the 
bulbs are the size of a pea transplant singly into small pots, 
transferring to larger pots as the plants develop. An average of 
80 deg. is the temperature best suited for producing well- 
developed flowers, and good ventilation without draught is 
a safeguard from disease. We also supply dry bulbs.
