I 
It is our privilege to hold the Royal Warrant of Appointment to His Majesty the King 
and to announce that ;ve have again been honoured with instructions to supply the bulbs 
required for the decoration of the Royal London Parks and Gardens next spring. 
In presenting our Annual Catalogue of Tested Seeds 
we would direct attention to the alteration we have made in the 
title, which seems to us better adapted to the needs of the times. 
Our object is to make it a more useful guide to the amateur 
gardener, at the same time serving the purpose of a first-class 
Seed Catalogue. Hitherto “ Carters’ Practical Gardener,” which 
has had a sale of over 100,000 copies, has been a separate 
publication, and for the future we propose to embody its best 
features, giving amateurs sound advice in a concise but practical 
form, and useful hints as a reminder to the professional gardener. 
Our Trade Mark.— The registered device in the margin 
has been for several years affixed to every package of Seeds 
distributed by us. It is both simple and sufficiently distinct to 
protect everyone desirous of obtaining “Carters’ Tested Seeds” as 
supplied in sealed packets. It is not enough to be told that 
these seeds came from Carters’ ” : our name and trade mark 
must be on the seal or we cannot guarantee that they emanate 
from our establishment. 
It is gratifying to be able to state that, notwith- 
standing the wet and unfavourable harvest of 1903, the sources 
at our command enable us to offer qualities that will compare 
favourably with those of preceding years. All our seeds have 
been produced, harvested, and cleaned with the greatest care 
in addition to being subject to repeated trials, which have fully 
established their claim to the possession of satisfactory germinat- 
ing powers.

In this the 67th year of our being established at 
this address, we take the opportunity to tender respectful 
acknowledgments for past favours ; and we beg to solicit a 
renewal of confidence, to merit which our best personal attention 
shall, as heretofore, be devoted.
