mm. GranojfloRU^ Cyclamen Grandiflorum (Improved Large-Flowering) Few pot plants are so desirable as Cyclamen, especially for winter-blooming-. Though they are universal favor- ites, they are not seen in general cultivation to the extent that they should be, considering' their ease of culture, great beauty and long season of bloom. Bulbs commence blooming in the fall and continue in great profusion till June, each flower keeping perfect a month before fading, and a good bulb will show at all times from twelve to flfty well-developed blossoms. They are of the most delicate blush and pink shades prevailing. Often the flowers will be spotted and marked, and finely varie- gated. The foliage is beautiful, being variegated with different shades of green, and helps to show off the flowers which rise above it to a remarkable degree. In fact, a plant in bloom always looks like a tastily ar- ranged vase of flowers and foliage. Giant White—Pure white; enormous size. Giant Carmine—'Very bright. Giant Pink — Exquisite shades. Price, fine bulbs, 35c each; the 3 for $1.00. Giant Mixed— (all colors, tints and shades, some being freely spotted)—25c each; 3 for 60c.
