Carters’ New Annual Chrysanthemums, 
See Coloured Illustration . 
These formed part of our First Prize Group of Annuals at Liverpool, 1886, and were universally admired. 
During the past ten years we have introduced some novel and beautiful forms of this aesthetic Annual, notably those varieties named respectively 
Lord Beaconsfield, The Sultan, and Mr. Gladstone, and all of which are included in the packets offered here. The varied markings of 
bronze, crimson, maroon, and gold, alternating with pure white and deep purple, are strikingly beautiful, whether as pot plants for conservatory 
decoration or grown out of doors— for cutting they are invaluable.

“ We have previously referred to Messrs. J. Carter & Co.'s Crown Jewels Strain 
of Tuberous Begonias, and a box of flowers now before us fully maintains the opinion 
then expressed. The blooms are of good size and neat form, the colours being 
considerably diversified ; from white, through pink to various shades of crimson, 
there are many gradations of tints, all clear and many extremely brilliant."

CEYLON, 1885. 
So much admired at our Great Exhibitions of Annuals in the Gardens of the Royal Botanic Society, for which we haue been

summer bedding out-of-doors they are also adapted, the colours being well fixed, and the plant particularly hardy ; they are also recommended for growing 
in pots for conservatory and other decorative purposes indoors.

Carters’ “Butterfly” French Marigold. 
See Coloured Illustration. 
Our House has long been amous for the perfection in form and colour of French Marigolds, and the elegant variety now offered under the name 
of " Butterfly ” is unquestionably the most beautiful form ever introduced. The flowers are borne in the greatest profusion from July to November - 
at the present time (October aotb) we have great breadths in the Seed Beds carrying a mass of bloom. It is in the even character and persistent 
regularity of the markings that "Butterfly" stands pre-eminent, the alternate petals of velvety purple-brown and old gold being most clearly defined 
over the entire plant. As an Autumnal Hardy Flower it is in its way unequalled, and is especially adapted for Church and similar decorations, 
inasmuch as the blooms will keep in good condition for several days after being cut.
