thin out. 
No. 581. Carters’ Carmine Kingf {see lUuslration on opposite pnge'). — Last 
year’s novelty. Awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Floral Committee of the 
Royal Horticultural Society, July, 1905. We have been associated with the 
introduction of more new varieties of Eschscholtzias than any other firm of seed 
growers. The work of improving the colours in Eschscholtzias has been an 
interesting one. The first important break, many years ago, was the rose with a 
I>ale tinge on the back of the petals. In 1877 we succeeded in blending this with 
the deep Crocea colour, which gave the pleasing effect produced in Mandarin. 
In 1881 we produced Rose Cardinal, in which we had not only deepened the 
colour on the outside, but also on the inside of the petals. Now Carmine King 
comes along with a beautiful carmine rose colour, in many instances as intense on 
the inside as on the outside of the petals, which gives it an altogether novel and 
beautiful effect in Eschscholtzias. ( See reports below.) 
“This is one of those floral g-eins that are only met with occasionally. The flowers 
when in the bud are charming objects for decorative purposes, and when fully 
expanded are alike useful for the dinner table.”— Mr. H. C. Prinsep, Head Gardener 
to Viscount Portman, The Gardens, Buxted Park.
