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.

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.
