CARTERS TESTED SEEDS— BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. 
SCHIZANTHUS. 
^During the last few years the 
Schizanthus has leapt into popu- 
larity owing to the remarkable advance which has been made 
both in the habit of the plants and diversity of colours now 
available. By sowing in spring, summer, and autumn a 
succession of bloom may be obtained throughout the year. Our 
Butterfly and large-flowered strains, together with the distinct 
Retnsus forms, are the most suitable for greenhouse and winter 
garden decoration.
