n xjqy It is now more than half a century since the late 
■ 1 ■ Mr. James Carter took this plant in hand with a 
view to its improvement in size and range of colourings, and one 
of our earliest successes was Jet Black (see No. 4806). We also 
introduced the Peacock (see No. 4792). Both are still amongst 
the best in cultivation. Pansies will succeed in any soil that is 
not too hot and dry. and if a special compost is made for them it 
should consist of one-third rich loam, one-third leaf mould, and 
one-third well-decayed dung. In early spring the seed should 
be sown in frames or in boxes for summer and autumn blooming, 
and later on sowings may be made about July out of doors in a 
partially shaded place, transplanting in October or November 
Into where they are intended to flower the following season. 
The final position should be an open one. and the plants not 
less than 6 in. apart. There should be no check in their progress 
either by cold winds, very hard frosts, or long droughts. Nor 
should they be watered during the hottest months with very 
cold water. We have classed each type so that Pansy lovers 
have an opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all 
representing the very best strains in cultivation. 
4791 Carters Giant Curled.— Large flowers of striking form and 
immense fullness, giving them the appearance of being some- 
what double. They are variously coloured in all the richest 
shades, markings, and lacings. Quite a new class of the 
greatest beauty. 
4792 Carters Peacock.—' The ouly variety possessing the true 
peacock blue colours. Introduced by our House. 
4793 Carters Fancy Striped.— Elegantly striped splashed, and 
mottled a very curious combination of colours that cannot fail 
to elicit astonishment. The flowers are large and freely pro- 
duced, and the habit of the plant dwarf and compact. 
4794 Silver Edeed.— Deep maroon, with pure white margin; very 
effective and profuse bloomer, but not so large in size as Cartera 
International Prize.
