CYCLAMEN--One of the finest plants in cultivation for winter blooming. Young bulbs, if well grown, will sometimes have as many as 100 flowers open or ready to open at one time. The colors vary from the purest white to the brightest crimson and purple, some of the flowers being beautifully spotted. Did the plant not bear any flowers, it could well be grown for its pretty foliage, which is charmingly variegated green and gray, the under part of the leaves being bright red. The ease with which Cyclamens are grown in a sunny window, should recommend them to any one wishing a plant that will bloom 3 or 4 months in succession during the dullest part of the year... 25.
