CARTERS NIGHT-SCENTED STOCK PERFUME 
is exquisitely reminiscent of the marvellously perfumed little flower Mathiola bicornis (see page 67). which fills the garden on a summer's 
eve with its entrancing fragrance. 
Mrs. Cornwallis West writes of it " It is exactly like the flower, and I can imagine myself in my summer moonlit garden, when on the 
coldest winter’s day I have some of the scent on my handkerchief.” 
Another Lady Customer writes of this perfume:— "It is the most delicious and lasting I have ever used, and I have been devotedly fond of 
fine delicate odours during a long life. ’

BEGONIAS. 
If by Parcel post add Postage at zone rates : weight 7 lb. per 100. Dozens mailed free. 
The tuberous-rooted Begonia has become a plant of such importance, owing to the rapid Improvement it has undergone, that no garden or 
greenhouse can be considered complete without it. 
Tubers may be started into growth from January onwards, but the sudden plunging into a very hot temperature is not conducive to a good 
strong plant, therefore they should be put into a medium temperature. Place them in boxes filled with leaf-mould, and as soon as the tubers are 
started pot into small pots in a mixture of equal parts of leaf-soil and loam, with the addition of a little silver sand. When the roots reach the 
sides of these pots they should be re-potted into a larger size, using a little heavier compost than before. After a few weeks again re-pot them, 
this time into their flowering pots, using a compost of about two parts rich loam, one part leaf-mould, with a little sand or broken mortar rubble 
to keep the whole porous, and some broken charcoal and dried cow manure. Pot moderately firm, and place in a cool house, keeping it close for 
a few days until root action commences, afterwards giving ample air, and damping floors and stagings on warm days until flowering commences. 
Carters Veg Vita is a splendid stimulant during the growing period.
