Cyclamen ibericum 
A native of the Caucasus Mountains. 
It makes a charming addition to the 
rock-garden for early spring blooming. 
The plant forms its leaves and flowers 
beneath the ground in September, and 
it is thus able to appear in bloom on 
the first snowless days of March or April. 
Its peculiar, open, bell-shaped, bright pur¬ 
ple flowers grow in large quantities above 
the kidney-shaped leaves, supplying a 
color which is missing at this time of the 
year. Considering the native habitat of 
this Cyclamen, a not-too-moist, porous 
leaf-mold, mixed with lime, is the best soil. 
In such a soil the bulbs will remain healthy 
and become strong and flower regularly 
after the second year. Pkt. (15 seeds) 50 
cts., 5 pkts. $2.
