Farquhar's Columbian Prize Cyclamen.
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
a whole. Their Mont Blanc Cyclamen is the finest white in the Exhibition, if not the best of any strain. . . .
The contrast was great between the small-flowering type .of other exhibitors) and the large flowers in the exhibition
of R. .5r»y. Farquhar 6° Company."
Messrs. R. &.J. Farquhar .S^ Co.,
Gentlemen : — Your Cyclamen are the finest I have ever grown,
ranging from pure white to dark crimson.
The blooms are so large and borne on such stout steins, that I have used tJie.n most satisfactorily for cutting purposes. Every one who
sees them pronounces them the best ever seen. Yours very truly, C.f. IV., Gardener to Mrs.f. S.
Beach Bluff, Mass., Feb. 20, 1899.
Every seed germinated ; the plants are handsome, with flowers
Messrs. R. &*f. Farquhar .5r. Co., Maiden, Mass., Dec. 2, 1899.
Gentlemen : — You will be pleased to learn that the Cyclamen seeds I had from you last year have turned out admirably . The plants are
now in full bloom and are truly grand. The flowers are of enormous size, splendid substance, and their erect, stout stems fwld them well
above the leaves. I have never seen a finer strain. Yours very truly, D. F. Roy, Supt. Estate of Hon. E. S. Converse.

GRANDIFLORUM, FARQUHAR'S COLUMBIAN PRIZE. The flowers are of large
size and fine form with broad massive petals and embrace all the finest colors,
ranging from pure white to lilac pink, rose and deep crimson, as well as the
best variegated forms. Finest mixed 50

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
