1073. CARTER’S PRIZE SINGLE MIXED PRIMULA {see Photograph) . — This splendid mixture 
contains all the finest varieties and most beautiful forms of this popular greenhouse annual 
for which our house has long been famous. Several new seedling forms and art shades 
have now been introduced, in addition to the choicest standard varieties. All varieties not 
of the highest merit are rigorously excluded, with the result that this mixture will be 
found unsurpassable for the compactness and vigour of the plants and the beauty and 
variety of the individual blossoms. When pricking out the seedlings, care should be 
taken not to discard the smaller plants, as these frequently produce some of the newest 
and most delicate shades 65 
1504. Carter’s Holborn Crested. — A very distinct and beautiful Primula of the Giant section, the 
result of a cross between King Edward and Holborn Ruby. The large pink flowers, beauti- 
fully fringed, carried on a fine truss thrown up well from the vigorous green crested foliage, 
make it a unique variety from all other Primulas 66 
1404. Carter’s Holborn Coral. — This Giant Primula is the result of a cross between Princess May 
and Holborn Salmon. The trusses of rich coral-red flowers of immense substance and size 
with a beautiful light green eye, together with a strong habit and dark green foliage, make 
it a very valuable addition to our Giant type of Primulas 65

being surrounded with a leafy calyx, in which they remain fixed for a long time. In addi- 
tion to this peculiarity, the plant, as growth advances, throws up a center stem in which 
several of these tightly fixed flowers appear, being surrounded with a crested, leafy growth
