CARTERS TESTED SEEDS — BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS

POLYANTHUS PRIMROSE. -™f d r “ t jg 
highest state of perfection to be attained in each section. There 
is no other flower which produces such a chaste, brilliant, and 
enduring effect during the early spring months, either singly or 
in masses in beds, about the same time as the Hyacinths and 
Tulips. Sow in spring or summer, in prepared seed bed, and 
transplant when large enough. 
5066 Carters Golden and White. — A wide range of cream, white, 
and yellow shades. 
5067 Carters Pure White. -A good true white type; very ef- 
fective for bedding. 
5068 Carters Dark Crimson.— This clear self deep-coloured selec- 
tion is splendid for spring bedding where a well-defined deep 
crimson groundwork is required. It is very effective with the 
paler shades in Early Flowering and Darwin Tulips. 
5069 Gold Edged. -The flowers in this strain are smaller and more 
regular in outline than the varieties offered above. The individ- 
ual blooms are edged and laced with gold. 
5065 Carters Dark Shades. — A remarkable range of deep rich 
colours; rich crimson, deep purple, rosy lilacs, and scarlet 
shades in endless variety.

5070 M unstead Strain. —We have been honoured with the dis- 
tribution of the re-selected of Miss Jekyll's famous strain of 
M unsteid Polyanthus Primrose. Every possible shade of white, 
cream, yellow, and orange is represented in this large-flowering 
race, and such a variety is shown that it is a difficult matter to 
find two plants of the same shade. 
5071 Blue Shades. -A very wide range of shades is contained in 
this mixture, from pale lavender through all gradations of clear 
and deep blue to rich royal blue. 
5075 Carters All Colours Mixed. — This well-selected strain is 
of very hardy constitution, but the plants do not exhibit the 
wide range of colour found in the more choice strains.

POPPY These showy hardy flowers continue to absorb the 
v * attention of the greatest number of amateur garden- 
ers, and deserve the position from their varied and intrinsic 
beauty. Sow thinly in patches, rows, or beds in spring where 
the plants are intended to bloom during early summer. The 
show may be extended if the seed pods are kept cut off. When 
used as cut flowers they should be picked early in the morning 
before opening out. 
SINGLE ANNUAL VARIETIES. 
4869 Carters Shirley Poppy {Silk or Ghost Poppy ). — This lovely 
garden annual Poppy has probably received its various names 
from its delicate texture and almost shadowy forms. The 
shades of colour are endless, and we offer a strain of unusual 
beauty, which has been rigidly selected from the stock of the 
original nominator, the Rev. W. Wilks, Secretary to the Royal 
Horticultural Society. It makes a delightful border plant, and 
is fine for sowing at the sides of grassy walks or along paths. 
CARTERS GARDEN PRIMROSE. 
The Primrose is one of those plants that resent too much cod- 
dling. and sometimes when great care is taken they refuse to 
grow. The simplest plan is to sow them in a partially shaded 
place, from May to .July. Just scratch the seed in with a rake 
and tirm the surface, under the influence of genial showers they 
will soon come up. 
5082 Blue. — To obtain the best results seedlings should be raised 
each year, sowing in March, as the blue is more intense the first 
season than in subsequent years. 
5083 Yellow —The lovely Old English Primrose of the woods. 
5085 Carters Choice Mixed — Contains every obtainable colour. 
New shades are constantly occurring as the result of our con- 
tinuous hybridisation.

tion than the high opinion of this eminent horticulturist. Ht. 3 ft. 
4870 Shirley Poppy, Raynes Park Hybrids. — 
NOVELTY. A unique strain of very robust habit, 
which contains a large number of new 
shades. An outstanding feature is the wide range of smoke,

Poppies.

with broad white cross.
