CARTERS BULBS FOR SPRING PLANTING — Continued. 
Li Hum Auratum. Lilium Speciosum rub rum. 
CARTERS LILIUM AURATUM. 
The beautiful Golden-rayed Lily of Japan. 
This grand Idly has now become so popular that it should be 
largely grown in every garden. In soils suitable to its taste 
it will thrive in increased vigour each season in borders, and 
should be extensively cultivated in such spots. It can be seen in its 
full beauty in association with ornamental shrubs and bold-leaved 
herbaceous plants. It flowers rather later in summer than some of 
its relations. 
All bulbs are carefully sorted by hand, and are examined personally 
before despatch.

Fine Gigantic Bulbs Each. 3/6 ; per doz., 40/-

LILIUM SPECQOSUM OR LANCI FOLIUM. 
Next to the Lilium Auratum we must place the Speciosum or 
Lancifoli urn, so exquisite in form and so easily cultivated. 
Specimens frequently may be seen flowering abundantly from pots in 
the squares and on balconies in the very centre of I.ondon and other 
large cities late in summer, and coming at a time of year when 
flowers are somewhat scarce makes it doubly welcome. It thrives 
well out in the border, and, with its pure chaste white, orange, 
crimson-spotted, and rose-spotted flowers, is very attractive.

RANUNCULUS. 
This beautiful early summer border plant belongs to the Buttercup 
family The types now popular in the class under consideration 
would, from their gay appearance both in form and colour, be hardly 
recognised as a relation to this modest denizen of the field. The 
cultural directions are practically the same as advised for Anemones. 
Carters Cockade (Photograph above ). — In a spendid variety of 
colours, immense double flowers. Is fitting in all respects to be 
cultivated by the side of the Empress Poppy Anemone, and 
equally superior with that variety to any other class of 
Ranunculus. The flowers are double, of immense size, and 
combine every possible shade of colour peculiar to this interest- 
ing and easily-cultivated flower. It is impossible to over-estimate 
their value to all lovers of hardy border flowers.
