Gardening; Flowers; Wild flowers. 134 THE WILD GARDEN. with Cyclamen hedersefolium, near Montargis, in France, that first turned my attention to the " Wild ; Both C. hedersefolium and C. europseum may be naturalised with the greatest ease on light, loamy, or other warm and open soil. C. vernum, C. Coum, and C. repandum, are also well worthy of trial. Nothing can be more agree- able to the lover of hardy plants than endeavouring to naturalise these charming flowers, now rarely seen out of the greenhouse. The best positions would be among dwarf shrubs, etc., that would afford slight shelter, on banks or sunny open spots in copses or woods. Bare or dug borders they abhor, and a sunny warm exposure should be chosen. In the case of 0. hedersefolium (and perhaps some of the others) ground under trees, bare, or with a very scant vegetation of herbs, etc., would do quite well if the soil were free and warm. There is scarcely a. Cyclamens in the wild garden : from nature. country seat in England in which the hardy Cyclamens, now almost entirely neglected by the gardener, could not be naturalised.

Here it is one of the finest ornaments in a wild garden of about five acres, associated with Rheums, Ferulas, Gunneras, Centaurea babylonica, Arundo Donax, Acanthus, and ; Bindweed, Oalystegia.—Climhing plants, with handsome white or rosy flowers, often too vigorous in constitution to be agreeable in gardens, as is the case with our common bindweed. C. dahurica, some- what larger than the common kind, is very handsome when allowed.
