Propagation : by Seed. This is the
only way of propagating cyclamens.
The roots being a solid corm will not
divide successfully. Gather the seed
as soon as ripe, dry it slowly, and sow
it in February in shallow wide-mouthed
pots, in a compost of peat, loam, and
sand, covering the seeds scarcely a
quarter of an inch deep ; place them
in a cold frame, excepting O. pcrsicum,
which should be placed in a greenhouse
on n shelf near the glass ; sow the
seeds thinly, so that they may remain
in the seed pots for one year.
Soil. Equal parts, light turfy loam,
sandy peat, and leaf mould ; or if this
cannot be had, half apart of very rotten
dung may be substituted.
Summer Culture. Pot in autumn,
and when spring comes in most of the
kinds will be in 'flower. They require
then a good supply of water. Though
some of the species are hardy, yet it is
safer to cultivate them in pots in
frames, and bring them into the green -
house when in flower. Some of the
varieties of C. persicum are very fra-
grant, but there is no certainty that the
seedlings from them will continue fra-
grant. Seedlings of a year old should
be potted singly into thumb-pots, and
be repotted in April in 3^-inch pots,
and kept in a gentle heat, to encourage
the bulbs to grow larger. As soon as
the flowering season is over, set them
out of doors, giving no water; and as
soon as the seed is gathered, and all
the leaves dead, trim these off, and lay
the pots on one side to keep them dry
till the plants require potting.
Winter Culture. When frost begins,
shift them into pots of a size in pro-
portion to that of the bulbs, leaving
the bulbs just out of the soil, excepting
C. count, which should be covered
about half an inch. The largest bulbs
may require pots six inches in diame-
ter. As soon as potted, place them in
a cold frame, covering up securely
from frost; give air on all favourable
occasions, and water very moderately
till the leaves are full-grown and the
flowers begin to appear, when it may
be more liberally given.
Insects. Slugs, yrecn fly and wlrc-
tcorms prey upon them.
Diseases. Sometimes when the bulbs
become large they lose the power of
growing again ; the buds on the crown
appear to be dead. We know of no
remedy.
Culture in the open air. All the spe-
cies, excepting C. persicum and its va-
rieties, will live in a warm border of
the compost out of doors, but on
account of their early blooming the
flowers are often injured by late frosts.
The border should be well drained, and
a covering of tanner's bark, or coal
ashes should be spread over the roots
in autumn, and allowed to remain on
till the warm weather of spring arrives,
when it may be removed and renewed
in the autumn. The bulbs may either
be taken up and replanted in October,
or allowed to remain for two years.
