CYCLAMEN Persictim. Our strains of Cyclamen have gained a national reputation and are freely-
acknowledged to be the finest in the country. The seeds which are grown for us by specialists in Europe are
all of the giant-flowering type, and of the most improved varieties.
At the WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, Chicago, we were awarded both Grand
Medal and Diploma.
" Garden and Forest," in commenting on the Exhibition of Cyclamen Plants at the World's
Fair, at which specialists from all over the world had exhibits in competition, says :
"The exhibit of R. & J. Farquhar 6° Company, Boston, is one of the largest and makes the best impression as

of R. .5r»y. Farquhar 6° Company."
