NEW ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 
Carters New Hybrids. 
Following On our previous successes in introducing new colours 
in Eschscholtzias, we have much pleasure in bringing to the 
notice of our customers these new hybrids. They are the outcome 
of the following artificial crossings x— 
CARMINE KING (x) MANDARIN. | DAINTY QUEEN (x) CALIFORNICA. 
CARMINE KING (x ) CALIFORNICA. | MANDARIN ( x ) WHITE. 
The plants of the first generation of these crosses were 
allowed to fertilise themselves and the new hybrids we now offer 
for the first time are the result. They contain many shades and 
tints of colour not yet seen in Eschscholtzias, intervening between 
the pale rosea and the intense Mikado, and between the lemon 
Callfornica and the brilliant Carmine King, giving a play of colour at 
once interesting and brilliant. 
No. 1576. Price per packet, is. 
No 635 . The Mikado. Award of Merit, R.H.S., 1908. 
The Mikado has brought a new colour into the Eschscholtzias, the result of a cross between 
M.inddrin^ which we introduced in 1S79, and Carmine King,, our great novelty of 1906. The blend 
of these two colours has produced a brilliant orange crimson suffused with the lustre of the Carmine 
King. To a small percentage the colour favours almost entirely the carmine parent
