Cutworms and Other Pests. Cutworms are another pest that must be well looked after. As soon as you find that cutworms are doing any harm, use four ounces of Paris green with one pound of molasses and one-fourth pound of middlings; mix well and drop the mixture \in small lumps where you ex- pect the worms to feed. Mice are fond of the flower buds and may spoil a fine batch of plants before you know it. Look out for them. The price of a cyclamen plant invested in those small but effective spring traps is well spent in getting rid of these little fellows. In the course of this article I have advised growing cyclamens in hotbeds or coldframes during the summer. Here I wish to say that it is more convenient to grow them inside if you have a well ventilated house, and by giving the plants plenty of room and the same care as they would have outdoors, you can produce just as fine a lot of cyclamens in an airy greenhouse as you would out- side in the frames, but you must give them an abundance of room. There is no winter-blooming plant that the fiorist can sell with more as- surance of its being satisfactory than the cyclamen, and the growing of it is not difficult. A good strain of seed and the proper care should insure suc- cess and make the cyclamen one of the finest and most profitable plants on the market. Christ. Winterich. SCOVELL'S SAMPLE CYCLAMEN. A's a convincing sample of what may be accomplished, and is regularly being accomplished, in the production of cyclamens, a plant grown by W. C. Sco- vell, of Malta, O., is shown to the reader by means of the illustration on page 14. The picture, of course, cannot furnish any proof as to one of the mo
