Cyclamen Papilio 
CYCLAMEN 
These bulbous greenhouse plants are all very 
beautiful and are unapproached among winter- 
flowering plants for duration of bloom, variety 
of shades, and wealth of coloring. They are 
among the best plants recommended for house 
culture, as they thrive well and bloom profusely 
in the average temperature of the living-room. 
Sow the seed in small boxes or seed-pans in a 
compost of well-rotted manure, Rex Humus (leaf- 
mold will do), and sand, in the early winter 
months. Cover lightly with moss, which should 
be kept moist and should be removed after the 
seed germinates. Prick out into small pots when 
the young plants have two leaves. If grown 
steadily without any check, they will flower in 
from ten to twelve months. Average height 9 in. 
62300. Carters White Swan. The most profuse blooming 
white Cyclamen in cultivation. A grand thing, throwing 
its pure white flowers well above the foliage. A year 
old plant of this in full bloom is a magnificent sight.
