CARTER’S CATALOGUE OF FLOWER ROOTS. 
3 
The letters aa indicate the earliest and most proper sorts for forcing in pots or 
glasses ; a such as are more pro])er for pots than water. Those not designated by 
aa or a are late flowering sorts which will not bear forcing. These remarks ap- 
ply to the first seven pages of the Catalogue, viz. from Hyacinths to Early Tulips, 
the whole of which are proper for tlie open flower-borders also. The Bulbs from 
Double Tulijis to Winter Aconites (pages 8 to 13) arc adapted for the open borders 
only, except those with an *, which may also be grown in pots ; and those marked t, 
which are i>roper for a greenhouse, b\it will thrive out of doors with a little pro- 
tection. Anemones, Turban Ranunculus, Snowdrops, Aconites, Fritillaries, and a 
few others are sometimes forced, hut with uncertain success. The Amarylli- 
dacece are chiefly greenhouse or stove plants ; the Iridacew are adapted for the 
greenhouse or frame, but they succeed well out of doors. 
October and November are considered the most proper months for general 
planting. English Iris and Fritillaries ought not to be deferred beyond that time ; 
many others, however, succeed well when planted much later, though it is prefer- 
able to plant in good time. 
Those Hyacinths to which the price per dozen is aj^ed, are such as can be 
strongly recommended. 3 Roots may be had at the same rate as 12. Single Roots 
are charged the retail price.
