QUERIES AND ANSWERS. 
CYCLAMENS. 
“I sec in The Cottage Gardener of January 11th, you 
have been writing about the Cyclamen tribe. I have been growing 
many sorts of them for more than fifty years. But as Ibis 
(February 1st) is my birthday, I thought I would say something 
about I Item, though my days are gone by for doing much. 1 
am this day cighty-one, being born in 1778. 
“ Cyclamen Coum I bad forty years back of a friend, and have 
i grown thousands of them. They seed very freely, and come lip 
like Buttercups. In our place (Kingsbridge, Devon), they begin 
to flower from the end of November until the end of February, 
or (lie beginning of March, and then flic Cyclamen vernuni begins 
to flower. The flower is smaller, the stalks shorter, and the 
; leaves smaller than those of Count, with spots on the top of the 
leaves. The Count has no spots, but is of dark green. 
“ Cyclamen Europamm I had fifty years ago. It is quite hardy, 
and seeds well. I had a sort given me for the hederafolium, but 
I am sure it is not the Ivy-leaved of Parkinson. I wish I could 
get the true one. I would give a dozen Counts for one of 
Europaum. 
“The others that I have are— Persic urn, some sweet, somo 
not sweet, variegated, from seed, some with pink, Ac.; Persicum 
j rubrum, repandum, vernuni, and llungaricum, very sweet. The 
last four I got from Mr. Groom. They all flower with me very 
well; but 1 give so many to the nurserymen, and others, that L 
get short of somo sorts. I have some Europccums that have 
been planted out, and have remained in the same place among 
the shrubs forty years, and flower well. 
“ This place is small. The garden arid grounds between six 
and seven acres, but the estate and plantations are more than 300
