CARTERS TESTED SEEDS— BE AUTIFUL FLOWERS. 
CYCLAMEN Sow at any time (spring and autumn to be 
w w " preferred) in pots or pans, in peaty loam 
and sand, covering the seeds 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 six 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 60° 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 
in the fall.
