There are few winter flowering bulbs more attractive than the Cyclamen, being an ideal plant either for greenhouse or window decoration. Not only are they beautiful when in flower, but the foliage is also highly ornamental, being beautifully mottled, and they are therefore highly decorative even when not in flower. The Giant strain here offered is much superior to the old type; being of more robust growth and throwing the large flowers well above the handsome foliage. It is often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into growth. We have, therefore, concluded to send out only nicely started bulbs, which we feel sure will produce grand results, having been grown from our own choice strain of seed. Each Doz. G
