PART OF CARTERS “GRAND PRIX ” EXHIBIT, COURT OF ARTS, FRANCO-BRITISH EXHIBITION. 
CARTERS SELECTED KOCHIA ( Trichophylla ). 
Hardy Annual. 
Visitors to the Franco-British Exhibition last summer will doubtless remember the fine 
display made by our Kochias as pictured above, we had numerous enquiries and they were 
perhaps the most admired of all plants in our extensive exhibit. 
Carters selected Kochia makes a most effective decorative plant with a habit much 
resembling one of the compact evergreen shrubs, it has a light grass green feathery foliage 
which changes as the summer advances to a rich crimson. It is a perfectly hardy annual and 
can be sown in the open ground ; it is a rapid grower and flourishes on all sous. 
The best method is to sow the seed under glass, pot the seedlings off singly, and 
ultimately bed out or plunge the pots in which they are growing. 
It will be seen by the above picture that these round shrub-like plants (often called the 
mock cypress) are most effective when planted amongst flowers, such as begonias, geraniums, 
petunias, &c„ in fact they are most useful for the centre of any bed or when planted out in 
some decorative scheme. The plants should be pinched back and trimmed to shape when 
necessary. Height about 2 feet.
