Hints on Culture . — The flowers continue to attract the greatest attention wherever 
exhibited, and space hardly permits us to recount the many gratifying successes achieved by 
our house and its exhibits. The Royal Botanic Society have awarded no less than 4 Gold Medals 
to this brilliant strain. Gold Medal. Royal International Exhibition, Chelsea. 1912; Gold 
Medal. R.H.S., Chelsea. 1913 ; Silver Cup, Chelsea, 1914. Sow seed in pans filled with a good light 
candy compost in spring up to the beginning of June, and place in a cool frame. Transfer to 
small pots as soon as the seedlings have developed their leaves, and pot on as the plants require 
it. They should be grown in a cold frame until frost necessitates their removal to a greenhouse. 
Even in winter they should not receive much artificial heat. Will come into bloom from 
Christmas to May. 
3710 Carters Brilliant Prize. — Choicest colours mixed, saved from finest flowers. The 
constant and painstaking attention which we have lavished upon this strain has resulted 
in the production of a remarkable range of colour. The self colours range from pure 
white through varied shades of pink, rose, and carmine to deepest crimson, and pale 
porcelain, wedgwood, ultramarine, royal blue to the deepest purple, whilst the bordered 
varieties show a remarkable diversity of shades. The habit of the plants is perfect, it 
being difficult to find a plant showing the slightest divergence from type.
