A picture from one of the warring eountries of Europe, even if it is a picture of so peaceful a scene as a greenhouse undisturbed hy shot or shell, is of double interest on this side of the Atlantic at present^ when few if any Americans are visiting Europe and taking notes, personally, of what the European growers are accomplishing. Xet cyclamen growers, and any others who are interested, examine the cycla- men seed stock of the European spe- cialist, Ferd.

Glory of Wandsbek, Eose of Wandsbek, Pearl of Zehlendorf and, Eose of Zehlendorf. All large-flowering, robust-growing cyc- lamens, which have appeared since the older and weaker-growing salmoneum type had its day, are descendants of the four varieties just mentioned. All these four are of German origin. "Glory of Wandsbek is salmon-red; Pearl of Zehlendorf is salmon; Eose of Wandsbek and Eose of Zehlendorf are both salmon-rose. While the two Zeh- lendorfs bear larger individual flowers, the two Wandsbeks produce them more freely. Both types sell equally well. In the illustration the two benches on the left are planted with the Zehlen- dorf varieties; in the two benches on the right are the Wandsbek sorts. In the picture but one-third of my sal- mon-color seed stock is shown. You may judge from that how large the demand for it is.
