3692 Carters Annual Carnation. Bloom in six months from 
seed. Carnations are favourites with all lovers of flowers. This 
strain will bring them within the reach and the cultivation of 
everybody, as it is one of the most valuable introductions of 
modern times. Sow under glass in January and February, and 
transplant as soon as ready. They commence to flower in July, 
producing a wealth of large bloom of great variety of colour 
until cut off by the frost, thus producing a supply after the 
perennial varieties are over. Being equally valuable for indoor 
cultivation, some can be potted and placed in a cool greenhouse, 
when they provide a succession of bloom during the winter 
months. They can also be sown in June to flower the following 
year. They produce a very large percentage of double flowers, 
and include a most varied assortment of fancy, yellow ground, 
bizarre, as well as seifs, rich with delightful fragrance, anti 
diversity of colour. ( PlvStop.raph above.) Per pkt. 1 /-, 1 / 6 , & 2/6

SWEET SULTAN, CARTERS GIANT. 
ANNUALS. (See Photograph overleaf.) 
The flowers of this greatly improved annual are at least twice 
the size of the older varieties, and a number of distinct new shades are 
now available. Its most deliciously scented long-stemmed flowers 
will last in water for a fortnight. In this respect alone it exceeds 
any other annual we can call to mind. We give this flower the highest 
possible recommendation. May be sown in pots and pricked out for 
early flowering, or in open borders in spring for general work.
