PANSY.

See Colour Supplement , Plate n. 
It is now more than half a century since the late Mr. James Carter took this plant in hand with a view to its improvement in sire and ranee 
of colourings, and one of our earliest successes was Jet Black (see No. 4806). We also introduced the Peacock (see No 4792) Both are still 
amongst the best in cultivation. * 
. ~ ° n , c . ulture -— P«*is*es will succeed in any soil that is not too hot and dry. and if a special compost is made for them it should consist 
of one-third rich loam, one-third leaf mould, and one-third well-decayed dung. In early spring the seed should be sown in frames or in boxes for 
summer and autumn blooming, and later on sowings may be made about July out of doors in a partially shaded place, transplanting in October or 
November into where they are intended to flower the following season. The final position should be an open one. and the* plants** not less than 
6 in. apart, there should be no check m their progress either by cold winds, very hard frosts, or long droughts. Nor should they be watered 
during the hottest months with very cold water. We have classed each type so that Pansy lovers have an opportunity of securing a large and 
varied choice, all representing the very best strains in cultivation. K b 
4791 Carters Giant Curled.— I.arge flowers of striking form and 
immense fullness, giving them the appearance of being some- 
what double. They are variously coloured in all the richest 
shades, markings, and lacings. Quite a new class of the 
greatest beauty. 
4792 Carters Peacock. — The only variety possessing the true 
peacock blue colours. Introduced by our House. 
4793 Carters Fancy 8triped.— Elegantly striped, splashed, and 
mottled, a very curious combination of colours that cannot fail 
to elicit astonishment. The flowers are large and freely pro- 
duced, and the habit of the plant dwarf and compact. 
4794 Silver Edffed.— Deep maroon, with pure white margin; very 
effective and profuse bloomer, but not so large in size as Carters 
International Prize. 
4795 Carters Prize Show. — The largest blotched and richly 
belted types. Very fine for exhibition or cultivation in pots. 
4796 L.ord Bcaconsficld. — A lovely Pansy, the lower petals being 
a rich dark velvet blue, and the upper ones a silvery blue. 
4797 President Carnot.— One of the prettiest grown. All blue 
flower with a wide belt of white round the outer edges. Very 
effective in beds and borders. 
4798 Carters International Prize.— A superb mixture of the 
largest and best types in every class. Will produce enormous 
blooms in all the richest colourings and markings. As the name 
suggests, it is the best of all English and Continental strains, 
grown under our personal supervision, and acclimatised in this 
country. 
4799 Fairy Queen.— Rich lavender blue, edged with white. Very 
effective and profuse bloomer, but not so large in size as Carters 
International Prize.

5065 Carters Dark Shade.— A remarkable range of deep rich 
colours; rich crimson, deep purple, rosy lilacs, and scarlet 
shades in endless variety.

5067 Carters Pure White. — A good true white type ; very 
effective for bedding. 
5088 Carters Dark Crimson. — This clear self deep-coloured 
selection is splendid for spring bedding where a well-defined 
deep crimson groundwork is required. It is very effective with 
the paler shades in Early Flowering and Darwin Tulips. 
5089 Gold Edged.— The flowers in this strain are smaller and more 
regular in outline than the varieties offered above. The in- 
dividual blooms are edged and laced with gold. 
5070 Munstcad Strain. — We have been honoured with the dis- 
tribution of the re-selected of Miss Jekyll's famous strain of 
Munstcad Polyanthus Primrose. Every possible shade of white, 
cream, yellow, and orange is represented in this large-flowering 
race, and such a variety is shown that it is a difficult matter to 
Price of the above, except where otherwise noted 
find two plants of the same shade. We strongly recommend this 
M unstead Strain for bedding purposes, and they are even more 
suited for growing in woodland walks and other such shady 
positions. The raiser has made such strides with this strain 
within the last few years that quite a number of distinct and 
new colours, especially among the orange shades, are now 
represented.
