CARTER’S NEW ESCHSCHOLTZIA FOR 1913 
(California Poppy) 
The Rajah 
We have again the pleasure of introducing to our customers a new Eschscholtzia, which we venture 
to say will be as well received as its numerous predecessors. 
The Rajah is another outcome of the various crossings which we have described with some detail 
in previous copies of our catalogue, and brings a new colour, which can best be described as a purplish 
carmine. 
No. 1598. Price, per pkt., .26 
Carter’s New Hybrids 
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 Calijornica and the brilliant Carmine 
King , giving a play of colour at once interesting and brilliant. 
No. 1576. Price, per pkt., .25 
No. 635. The Mikado. Award of Merit, R.H.S. 
The Mikado was the result of a cross between Mandarin, which we introduced in 1879, and 
Carmine King, of 1906. The blend of these two colours has produced a brilliant orange-crimson, 
suffused with the lustre of the Carmine King.

No. 581. Carter’s Carmine King. 
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. 
Price, per pkt., .15 and .25

This is a most dainty flower. The colour is a rosy white, while the petals are fluted in a most 
novel manner, giving the flower quite a fantastic and attractive appearance.

A beautiful shade in Eschscholtzias. Colour a tender blush or pale coral pink, slightly deeper
