FLOWERS.

These two varieties are largely used in Belgium as cut 
flowers. The stems are strong and are of great assistance in 
decorative effect and as cut flowers, being of some substance, 
they will last several days. 
Note. — Last year a mistake was made in sending out these varieties, 
owing to the tickets being misplaced in harvesting. Purchasers then, 
can now have another paclcet free of charge on application.

“Carters’ Judii.ee (Queen’s Prize Mimulus. — A n exceptionally fine type of these 
showy flowers, the individual blooms of immense size and superb form ; the throat profusely 
spotted with crimson on a yellow ground ; the lobes brilliant crimson, with golden-yellow 
margin.”— Gardeners’ Magazine. 
Culture.— Sow in spring in pots or pans on heat, prick off the seedlings when they have formed 
the second leaf, grow them on in heat to the end of May, when they may be planted out. Sow also in 
summer, and keep under glass during winter in store pots and pot off singly in February. They may 
also be sown under hand glass out of.doors in April, prick off into pots, and plant out where required, 
or grow on in larger pots for the greenhouse or conservatory. Mix the seed with silver sand when 
sowing as it is very fine. 
General Remarks. — Mimulus {Nat. Ord. Scrofihu/ariacea ). — This 
has been long known as the Monkey Flower from the open gape and 
prominence of the lower lobes of the perianth. We are indebted to the North 
and South American continents for the addition of this handsome flower to 
our borders. It is usually treated as half-hardy, but in favourable situations 
it will do very well out of doors. To those who know only the original kind, 
the present magnificent specimens will come as a delightful surprise, the 
blossoms being of grand size and richly coloured, the ground colour being of 
various kinds of yellow, orange, cream, and almost white, beautifully blotched 
and spotted with deep maroon, crimson, and cerise. As a pot plant it 
is most enlivening in the conservatory, and imparts a vivid brightness to 
the general effect, and is exceeded in beauty by no other so easily grown 
flower. Many a grower of expensive Orchids might envy the brilliant 
appearance of the grandly simple Queen’s Prize Mimulus.

“Garden,” December 28th, 1895. 
Mimulus, Queen’s Prize. — “Nothing in the Mimulus line that I am 
acquainted with approaches this excellent strain, for the plants are remarkably 
dwarf and extremely free-flowering ; in fact the seedlings commence blooming 
almost as soon as they are through the soil, and keep on flowering. The 
flowers are very beautiful, being varied in colour and distinctly spotted, 
reminding one more of spotted Gloxinas than anything else. For a damp spot 
I know nothing to compare with them. All who saw them here last summer 
were astonished and delighted.” — J. R. 
“ Messrs. J. Carter & Co. exhibited a fine lot of Mimulus, especially one 
variety called Carters’ Jubilee Queen’s Prize. The plants were about five to 
six inches in height ; the colour of the lobes was crimson-brown with gold 
edgings, with same colour in the throat, but lighter.” — Report of Royal 
Horticultural Society’s Meeting in "Gardeners' Chronicle.”
