Carters’ New Saponaria 
“SCARLET QUEEN.” 
This really distinct addition to this charming genus will be readily 
welcomed, and Saponaria Scarlet Queen is destined speedily to replace 
the well-known S. calabrica. It is more compact, the stems are of a dark 
purplish green colour, and the flowers are rich scarlet crimson — very 
beautiful and novel. 
MR. A. F. BARRON, the Superintendent of the Royal Horticultural Society's 
Gardens, says : — “ Saponaria Scarlet Queen is very distinct from the old variety, and far 
more beautiful ; a decided acquisition." 
No. 1591— Price, in sealed packets, ls. 6 d. and 2 s. 6 d. per packet. 
Carters’ New N emophila 
“HOLBORN BLUEBELL.” 
distinct and exceedingly elegant. The colour of the flower is a rich ultramarine blue, with a pure white throat, 
: zone of the Atomaria atro. coerulea, introduced by us in 1884. It has been universally admired when seen in 
Farms, and is in our opinion the finest blue Annual in cultivation. It is distinctly dwarf and compact in habit, 
age is almost entirely hidden by the dense masses of bright blue flower. 
No. 1038— Price, in sealed packets, Is. and 2 s. 6 d. per packet. 
Freesias from Seed 
(See Illustration.') 
Freesias are splendid half-hardy plants, very elegant in habit of growth, 
and forced in the cool pit or greenhouse, very choice specimens may 
be secured. They can be raised from seed sown in a cool frame so 
placed as lo receive the full benefit of the sun ; when up they should 
be thinned out where planted in 5-inch pots to about six or eight plants 
in each. March and August are very good times to sow the seed, and 
when thinning out the pots, care should be taken to leave the strongest 
plants. For securing flowering plants and bloom from Christmas on 
through the Spring months till about May, the Spring-sown bulbs 
should be potted from end of August or September, at intervals, 
and placed in a warm greenhouse, and as the plants come up, more 
heat should be applied, water when the plants begin to grow, but not 
before ; this, coupled with plenty of air and light in warm weather, 
tends to promote dwarf, sturdy growth. 
No. 1592— Price Is. per packet.
