CYCLAMEN PERSICUM GIGANTEUM 
This strain of Cyclamen is unquestionably the most important floral 
introduction of the season. It 
differs from our giant type of 
Cyclamen in the foliage, having 
a broad, lace-like fringe around 
the edtre. The flowers are of the 
giant form, embracing the lead¬ 
ing colors, and are frequently 
fimbriated. The delicate lace- 
edged leaves, however, form the 
great charm of this facinating 
variety.
