CYCLAMEN HARDY 
The Hardy Cyclamen makes a charming rock garden plant; 
or use it against old walls, and in leaf-nestling colonies 
about the roots of some great tree, where on a cold day of 
earliest spring or late autumn, its jewel bright blossoms may 
yield us a sudden blood-warming thrill of discovery. Flowers 
are usually fragrant, exquisite in form, white, pink, rose, 
carmine or crimson, foliage undulate, often marbled. For 
its own happiness, give Cyclamen a little time for its roots, 
a few crumbled fragments below it of old mortar will do 
the service. It likes a bit of shade, but where the roots 
have deep soil, will bear sun well. The seed, as always 
with Cyclamen, is slow germinating, but seems sure to come 
eventually. Culture “kt”. We offer here a blend of many 
winter hardy species including both those of early and those 
of late blooming seasons. 15 seeds for 25c ; 50 seeds for 75c. 
CYCLAMEN TENDER 
Of the varied Cyclamens that are used for pot culture, 
in window or conservatoi'y, no strain is more beautiful 
than the Indicum Rococo. The blossoms are of largest size, 
truly gigantic, always delightfully frilled, fringed and un¬ 
dulate, like great butterflies, and they come in all the rare 
and lovely Cyclamen colorings. 10 seeds for 25c; 25 seeds 
for 60c.

Tomato. Little pink fragrant flowers, then aromatic, edible 
fruits that look like brown eggs. The fruits have a

to winter through safely.

Each of the many well-leafed stems ends in a splendid 
crown-shaped cluster of butterfly flowers, rich, glossy yellow,

range is from creamy yellow, through lemon, to golden 
orange; with red shadings and dark velvety crimsons. 
Incidentally the green whip-like stems of Broom, cut in late 
autumn, will hold their coloring all winter long. Sprays, 
of rose fruits, mingled with Broom and Furze (Ulex) 
branches will pleasantly fill a vase to brighten dull months.
