CYCLAMEN 
We pride ourselves in offering to American flower lovers our hardy 
Cyclamen corms. To grow one of these exquisite jewels is a challenge for you. 
They are for the connoisseur. To assist you we have established these 
plants in 4” pots, and you will receive them with roots intact. The corms we 
are offering are easy to establish in any well drained, half shady situation. 
Although most publications recommend lime, we grow them without it. We 
advise a small pinch of bone meal at planting time. You must have a good 
gritty porous soil, and bulbs should be planted on a slight slope because they 
require drainage. We recommend an inch of soil over the C. Europeum and 
a half-inch covering for C. Neopolitanum species. Though we ourselves dislike 
covering plants or bulbs, these must have a covering of salt marsh hay, cran- 
berry tops, etc. These tiny Cyclamens withstand severe cold but they cannot 
stand the thawing and freezing that occurs early in the spring, hence the 
covering. You may have a poor showing the first year but the second year 
will reward you tenfold in allowing you to behold in your own garden one of 
the true wonders of the Alpine world. Never have you seen anything that 
equals their angelic beauty. The flowers appear like a swarm of tiny, exotic 
butterflies balancing themselves on 3” to 4” stems. 
C. Europeum — Native of the Alps. This is not only the most attractive but 
also the most hardy. Blooms in August and September. Beautiful 
crimson flowers varying somewhat in color. Delicious violet fragrance 
— hence the German name of “Alpine Violets.” Leaves are heart 
shaped, dark green turning red. 
$.75 each 3 for $2.00 
C. Neapolitanum — Color varies greatly from rose to the palest of pink. 
Flowers make their appearance ahead of the leaves. September and 
October flowering. Leaves are ivy shaped, silvery zoned. 
$.75 ea. 3 for $2.00 
C. Neapolitanum album — No word can accurately describe the celestial 
beauty of this snow white gem, It is as rare as it is beautiful. Zoned 
foliage but of a paler green, $1.00 ea. 3 for $2.50 
C. Repandum (vernum) — Brilliant crimson flowers slightly pointed. Beauti- 
ful silvery marbled leaves. We do not recommend this north of New 
Jersey. Anyone possessing a small greenhouse will find this an 
exquisite addition. $.75 ea. 3 for $2.00
