3852 Mrs. Buckston. — Award of Merit K.H.S. — This novelty 
bears beautifully frilled petals of a real salmon shade of colour, 
somewhat more delicate than the Carters Salmon. The flowers 
are very large ami freely produced. This is a valuable addition 
to the crested petalled Cyclamen, and will at once take its place 
in the front rank. Per pkt., 1/-. 1/6. and 2/6

conspicuously when mingled with a collection of the ordinary 
type. The flowers are also very lasting. Choicest mixed.

CARTERS CROSS-FERTILIZED STRAINS. 
3901 Carters Single.— Magnificent flowers of the newest and best

3907 Bouquet or Pompom.— One of the most useful flowers for 
cutting. 
3908 Collarette.— Our special strain of Collarette varieties contains 
a great variety of distinct shades and colours, the majority 
being equal in form to named varieties. 
Carters Blaxe. — This distinctive form of 
Dahlia has now been honoured by an 
Award of Merit from the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society and National Dahlia Society, is such a desirable 
variety for decorative purposes that we have no hesitation 
in adding to the present almost endless varieties of Dahlias. 
In our trials we have repeatedly been astounded to find that the 
majority of new introductions have very little value as garden 
plants, the excessive drooping habit of the flowers rendering 
them valueless except when each bloom is supported by wires. 
Our new variety Blaze, although a strong grower, requires 
practically no support, but a central stake is advisable to 
prevent damage by wind and heavy rains during the late 
autumn. On our trial grounds during 1915, in a batch of Blaze 
containing 50 plants, only three were beaten down by heavy 
rains, although there was not a single support to any of the 
plants. As an indication of its free-flowering qualities we may 
say that many of the plants gave over six dozen large blooms for 
decorative purposes. Plants only. Each. 3/- ; pcrdoz.,30/-
