1894 NOVELTI E$— feSfflwj. 
RICINUS ZANZIBARIENSIS. 
— An entirely new class of the Castor Oil 
Plant, of rare beauty, far exceeding in size and general splendour of effect, the much admired older kinds. The 
foliage is of the usual palmate character, produced in great luxuriance and of gigantic proportions, measuring 
2 to 2i feet in diameter ; the colouring varies from the light green of the Arabia Sieboldi to a dark coppery bronze 
and brownish purple. We anticipate a great demand for these new varieties, as they are indispensable to all 
gardens of a picturesque character, where sub-tropical culture is made a feature. 
The Seeds are quite distinct in colour and most beautifully marked.

NEW POLYANTHUS- 
PRIMROSES. 
“ Carters’ Royal London 
Parks.” 
We secured the entire stock of this selection from the raiser 
a few seasons ago, and our commendations have been fully justified. 
One of the most attractive sights of Hyde Park and Regent’s 
Park is the special feature rendered by the beds of these flowers, 
and these sights should be repeated i i everybody’s garden.

NEW BEDDING LOBELIA, “ White Ladie.”— 
We introduce for the first time this new and distinct pure “ White ” Lobelia, the result of many years patient 
work and selection, in form and habit similar to the universal favourite “ Blue Lobelia of Crystal Palace fame. 
It is one of the continuous blooming kinds, not intermittent, as is frequently the case with some of the ‘ L. Pumila 
section. It is confidently recommended as a Novelty of great merit. We have kept this^on our own grounds until 
it is thoroughly established, and for the first time it can be raised true from seed. It is white in seed.

CARTERS’ WINTER BLOOMING GIANT STOCK. 
We have at last succeeded in securing a supply of Seed from a specialist grower for Covent Garden, of a white 
winter flowering Stock, which has always been in the fore-front in the market, but which has not yet been ojlered 
in seed. It matures with greater certainty and in finer form than any other grown. Its spikes both central and 
lateral surpass its competitors. It has come with the grower 90 per cent, double, and its pure white flowers 
are invaluable from Christmas to Easter. The grower who has placed the only lot of seed which has been yet 
saved, into our hands for distribution among the trade, writes of it as follows : 
It is a cross between the ordinary Intermediate and East Lothian White. If sown in May in a cool frame, and pricked 
off in small pots in a North pit, or outdoors in a shady place, it can he gradually forced into bloom by Christmas ; or sown 
in I uly it will bloom at Easter if brought into a cool house, and kept at 40 to 45 degrees. It does best on a cool bottom, 
and requires plenty of air. The specimen sent is from a house kept at about 55 degrees, which I expect to have in full 
bloom by Christmas. It was sown in May, and grown out of doors until the end of September, standing in lull sun on a 
bed of ashes, and is now in a cool span-roofed house. I shall not put any heat on unless we have frost, when I .-.hall keep 
the heat as near 50 degrees as possible. — October 24th, 1893.
