CARTERS NEW ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 
No. 635. The Mikado {see Coloured. Plate No. 4). Award of Merit, R.H.S., 1908. 
We have the greatest pleasure in introducing this sterling 
novelty. The Mikado brings a new colour into the Eschscholtzias. 
It is the result of a cross between Mandarin, which we introduced 
in 1879, and Carmine King, 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. The effect of 
this charming colour in borders or clumps will enhance the value 
of Eschscholtzias for general garden adornment. 
Price per packet, is. 
No. 1491. Carters Double Orange {see Coloured Plate No. 3 ). 
We introduced this for the first time in 1879, when it was awarded a First Class 
Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society. We are now able to offer an improve- 
ment on the original form. We have no doubt it will come to many as quite new. 
We highly recommend it as a valuable addition to this useful group of hardy 
annuals.

No. 581. Carters Carmine King {see Coloured Plate No. 2 ). 
This was introduced by us in 1906 after having received an Award of Merit 
from the Royal Horticultural Society. Plants in flower have excited admiration 
wherever seen. The lustrous carmine colour being quite novel in Eschscholtzias.

This is a most dainty flower, as the coloured plate shows it to be. The colour

quite a fantastic and attractive appearance.
