PRIMULA. Sow in pans of finely-sifted soil in spring, and 
pot off singly into thumb pots when large 
enough to handle. They require to be raised in heat and kept 
growing in cool house or frame through the summer. A cool 
bottom for pots to stand on is essential. Use a compost of leaf 
mould and rich fibrous loam when shifting into larger pots.

PRIMULA — Continued. 
No. 
5005 Carters Giant Coral. — This Giant Primula is the result of a 
cross between Princess May and Holborti 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 
Primulas. 
5006 Carters Holborn Crested. — A very distinct and beautiful 
Primula of the Giant section. The large pink flowers, beauti- 
fully fringed, carried on a fine truss thrown up well from the 
vigorous green crested foliage, make it unique among Primulas. 
5009 Carters Salmon. — Immense size and lovely colour. 
5011 Carters Crimson.— Excellent habit and brilliant colour. 
5012 Carters Blue.— The First Class Certificate of the Royal 
Horticultural Society was granted to our House for this grand 
break. 
5014 The Duchess. — White with zone of rosy carmine. 
Greatly reduced Photograph — Blooms 3 in. across. 
5016 Carters Prize Single Mixed.— This splendid mixture con- 
tains all the finest varieties and most beautiful forms of this 
popular greenhouse annual, for which our house has long been 
famous. New seedling forms and art shades are 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, take 
care not to discard the smaller plantlets, as these frequently 
produce some of the newest and most delicate shades. 
Carters Oakleaf. — This variety marks 
a decided step forward in the cult of the 
Primula. Its deeply laciniated foliage 
makes it appear at all times an object of lightness, gracefulness, 
and beauty, being in strong contrast to the majority of Primulas. 
The flowers, which are of a rich rose-pink colour, are firmly 
fixed in the calyx, the truss being carried well above the foliage 
on a stiff stem, making it by nature of its lightness invaluable 
for all decorative work, especially for table. 
5007 Carters King Edward.— The finest White Primula we have 
yet seen. The flowers possess immense substance, well thrown 
up. 
5013 Carters White Elaine. — Grand truss, dark palm foliage ; 
robust.
