CYCLAMEN CULTURE, 
Do Cyclamens store up in their bulbs the elements of future 
growth, so that the bloom of any season depends in great 
measure, as in the Hyacinth, upon careful cultivation of the 
foliage in previous years ? or, are their fibrous roots of more than 
one season’s duration ? 
If these fibrous roots are only available for one season of 
growth, which, I believe, is the case, would it not be better to 
repot annually in fresh soil, instead of once in three years, which 
seems the more general practice ? 
I grow all sorts, but the varieties of Persicum are my favourites. 
I have now a pan of seedlings in a cool stove (53° minimum, 70 Q 
maximum), how long will it be advisable to keep them there ? 
The seed was sown in tho middle of February of this year. 
They have only their first pair of leaves, perhaps a quarter 
of an inch across; and the young bulbs (which seem to be 
formed before the leaves appear), are about the size of No. 2 
shot.—A. C. S. 
[All Cyclamens and all other bulbs and tubers, have the “ ele* 
ments of future growth” stored up every year according to the 
season and the conditions under which the yearly growths are 
made. When these are favourable, they tell wonderfully on the 
next start; and when they are unfavourable, they tell unpleasant 
tales. 
“The general practice” with Cyclamens is the worst practice 
in gardening ; only a few nurserymen and a gardener here and 
there out of five hundred, treat them well and as they ought to 
be treated. Our farmers beat the globe at growing bulbs and 
tubers ; but too many of our gardeners hardly know how they 
ought to have the “elements of growth” up to the mark. The 
roots of all your Cyclamens are perennial, and the bulbs rest a 
long while every year. Therefore, instead of heeding “ general 
practice,” take a practical step, think for yourself, and consider 
if there can be the smallest reason to fear about shaking the old 
soil from the roots, and supplying them yearly with fresh. If 
Turnips were perennial, depend upon it the farmers would be 
transplanting them into fresh-tilled fields every winter. 
But, about the seedlings, you are too much of a farmer, else 
your seedlings are not Cyclamens at all. Not one of the family 
produces two leaves at a birth. As you like the Persicums best, 
never dry them, as the “ general practice” does; but when the 
flowers and the frost are done with for the season, plant out the 
balls entire in a warm border, where the roots will not be dis¬ 
turbed the whole summer, let them take the rain and the drought 
as they happen to come; but do nothing more on your part till 
the middle of August, then watch them, and the moment you 
perceive a move for fresh leaves, up with them that day, shake off 
every particle of soil from the roots, and pot them in the flowering* 
pots at once, in good holding loam, with a little sand and very 
rotten cowdur.g, and so dry as that it will sift like leaf mould, 
draiu particularly well, and let the bulb be one-third out of the 
earth; and if you could plunge the pots in a cold frame, one 
watering would do till after Christmas.] 
NOTES ON NORWAY. 
Houses of the Boor. —The poorest streets are composed 
of clean, comfortable-looking, wooden houses ; and the poorest 
people have a well-conducted, respectable manner and appear¬ 
ance. There are no blackguards visible: no people that any 
reasonable person of any rank could object to sit amongst in a 
railway carriage. The windows of the humblest houses are 
scrupulously clean, and filled with bright flowers in earthen 
pots, carefully coloured with ned ochre. Flowers in a poor 
man's dwelling are the outward symbols of most of the domestic 
virtues. I have had much experience in seeking lodgings in 
strange places, and always make first application at those houses 
which have well-tended flowers in the windows. 
Oatcake. —Fladbrdd is a remarkable substance, composed of 
bruised Oats cemented together by some means, and flattened 
out wonderfully. It differs considerably from Scotch oatcake, 
being very much thinner, darker coloured, and more chippy; 
and is more like the material of which liat-boxes are made than 
anything else I am acquainted with. If you strip the paper off 
a hat-box you will find that it is not made of cardboard, as it 
appears to be, but of a thin veneer of wood; eat a small quan¬ 
tity of this veneer, and you will be able to form a very fair idea 
of the flavour of fladbrod; only the fladbrod is rather more
