CARTERS PERFECTION CYCLAMEN. 
Hints on Culture.— Sow at any time (spring and autumn to be preferred) in pots or pans, in peaty loam and sand, covering the soil scarcely 
a quarter of an inch, place on warm shelf near the glass in greenhouse, keeping the soil moist but well drained. The seed takes from four to 
eight weeks to germinate. When the bulbs are the size of a pea transplant singly into small pots, transferring to larger pots as the plants 
develop. An average of 60° is the temperature best suited for producing well-developed flowers, and good ventilation without draught is a 
safeguard from disease. We also supply dry bulbs at the end of the summer. 
3842 Carters 8uporb Mixture of all Colours.— Our grand 
large-flowered strain in all its best forms and every shade of 
colour, including our superb salmon. This is a selection of 
many years* patient observation and labour. 
8t- George. — This is a salmon colour, with a 
silver-marked leaf, very ornamental as a 
foliage plant previous to the blossoming period. 
Received a certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society. 
8844 Carters Butterfly.— This charming Cyclamen may be 
considered one of the most striking among florists’ flowers. The 
somewhat formal bearing of the older varieties is replaced by a 
more graceful habit, and the colours are surprisingly varied and 
beautiful. It may be observed that the petals of the flowers are 
broad across the top. and the edges finely curled or waved. 
The beauty of the variegations in colour is captivating. The 
blossoms being carried on a long and slender stalk, they will 
become a feature in the making up of high-class bouquets, and 
the entire plant makes a welcome addition to table decoration.

shading from the base of each petal, which lights up the whole 
flower and gives a brilliant effect.
