HARDY CYCLAMEN NATURALISED AT FOOT OF A TREE. 
HARDY CYCLAMEN. 
Autumn and Spring-flowering. 
These Hardy Cyclamen require perfect drainage 
and shelter from ground winds and the early morning 
sun ; at the foot of old walls facing north and in the 
rock garden or nestling in the grass, near the roots and 
under the shelter of old trees, they produce a most 
charming effect; they are also good subjects for fern 
plantations, where they obtain the shade they like. 
In making up a suitable soil let there be a liberal 
proportion of old mortar rubble with the addition of 
some well-decayed leaf soil and good fibrous loam. 
Most of the Hardy Cyclamen prefer shallow planting, 
1 to 1^ inches deep, measuring from top of corm ; they 
should all be given a mulching of well-decayed leaf 
soil after planting, and if the situation is exposed, a 
light covering of dry leaves or litter in winter is 
beneficial.
