NEW ESCHSCHOLTZIA 
•93 
Carters New Hybrids. 
Following on our previous successes in introducing new colours in Eschscholtzlas, 
we again have much pleasure in bringing to the notice of our customers these 
new hybrids. They are the outcome of the following artificial crossings:— 
CARMINE KING (x) MANDARIN. | DAINTY QUEEN (x) CALIFORNIA. 
CARMINE KING (x) CALI FOR NIC A. I MANDARIN (x) WHITE. 
The plants of the first generation of these crosses were allowed to fertilise 
themselves and the new hybrids we now offer for the first time are the result. 
They contain many shades and tints of colour not yet seen in Eschscholtzias, 
intervening between the pale rosea and the intense Mikado, and between the lemon 
Californlca and the brilliant Carmine King, giving a play of colour at once interesting 
and brilliant. 
No. 1576. Price per packet, is. 
No. 635. The Mikado. Award of Merit, R.H.S. 
The Mikado has brought a new colour into the Eschscholtzias, the result of a cross between 
Mandarin , which we introduced in 1879, and Carmine Ming, our great novelty of 1906. The blend 
of these two colours has produced a brilliant orange-crimson suffused with the lustre of the Carmine 
King. To a small percentage the colour favours almost entirely the carmine parent.
