enormous blooms of great substance, fine truss, and a robust 
grower. Princess May, Carters Coral, and King Edward are 
the three finest Primulas grown. 
5006 Carters Holborn Crested. — A very distinct and beautiful 
Primula of the Giant section, the result of a cross between King 
Edward and Holborn Ruby. The large pink flowers, beauti- 
fully fringed, carried on a fine truss thrown up well from the 
vigorous green crested foliage, make it unique among Primulas. 
5008 Carters Vermilion. — High class, rich colour. 
5009 Carters Salmon. — Immense size and lovely colour. 
5010 Carters Ruby. — Brilliant crimson rose, fern leaved. 
5011 Carters Crimson.— Excellent habit and brilliant colour. 
5012 Carters Blue.— The First Class Certificate of the Royal 
Horticultural Society was granted to our House for this grand 
break. 
Carters Oakleaf.— ' This variety marks 
a decided step forward in the cult of the 
Primula. Its deeply laciniated foliage 
makes it appear at all times an object of lightness, gracefulness, 
and beauty, being in strong contrast to the majority of Primulas. 
The flowers, which are of a rich rose-pink colour, are firmly 
fixed in the calyx, the truss being carried well above the foliage 
on a stiff stem, making it by nature of its lightness invaluable 
for all decorative work, especially for table. 
5007 Carters King: Edward.— The finest White Primula we have 
yet seen. The flowers possess immense substance, well thrown 
up. 
5013 Carters White Elaine.— Grand truss, dark palm foliage : 
robust.

5005 Carters Qiant Coral. — This Giant Primula is the result of a 
cross between Princess May and Holborn Salmon. The trusses 
of rich coral red flowers of immense substance and size, with a 
beautiful light green eye. together with a strong habit and 
dark green foliage, make it a very valuable addition to our Giant 
Primulas. 
5014 The Duchess. — White with zone of rosy carmine. 
5016 Carters Prize 8ingie Mixed. — This splendid mixture con- 
tains all the finest varieties and most beautiful forms of this 
popular greenhouse annual, for which our house has long been 
famous. New seedling forms and art shades are introduced, in 
addition to the choicest standard varieties. All varieties not of 
the highest merit are rigorously excluded, with the result that 
this mixture will be found unsurpassable for the compactness 
and vigour of the plants and the beauty and variety of the 
individual blossoms. When pricking out the seedlings, take 
care not to discard the smaller plantlets, as these frequently 
produce some of the newest and most delicate shades. 
5015 Carters Bouquet. — This curious and beautiful type produces 
its flowers directly from the base or stool of the plant in the 
manner of the common Primrose, these flowers being surrounded 
with a leafy calyx, in which they remain fixed for a long time. 
The plant, as growth advances, throws up a centre stem bearing 
several of these tightly fixed flowers surrounded by a crested 
leafy growth. 
5020 Carters Carmine. — A lovely rich colour. 
5021 Carters White Queen.— Pale green foliage. 
5022 Carters Rose.— A really pure rose colour of exceptional size.

blooms are creamy white and have a pale rose centre, which 
gives a very light and pleasing effect when seen in a mass.
