They are among the finest of our far

leaves, from which naked stems arise 
with umbles of Cyclamen-like flowers, 
from March to May. We recommend 
planting them from early March to July, 
as they do not split into small divisions 
during that time, in a light moist soil, 
wh’ch has plenty of humus. From 1 to 2 
inches deep, with partial shade.

35c each.
