CLIBRANS' LIST OF HERBACEOUS AND ALPINE PLANTS 
17 
Au picu las— Stage Varieties. 
These old-fashioned favourites are greatly admired for their richly-coloured flowers and 
beautiful form. They are quite hardy, and require only the simplest treatment. If grown in 
a cold house or frame the flowers remain in perfection for a considerable time. 
Our selection of six fine Stage Varieties, 12/- to 24/- ; twelve fine varieties, 24/- to 42/-. 
They are ail named sorts from the various classes, Green-edged, Grey-edged, White-edged, and 
Selfs. 
Auriculas -Alpine Varieties. 
These richly-coloured, free-growing varieties are deservedly popular. Their culture is of 
the simplest, their chief requirements being a rich, light soil, and plenty of moisture during the 
growing season. They should be taken up, divided, and re-planted every second or third year 
after flowering or in early autumn. Named kinds, 12/- and 18/- per dozen. 
Seedling Alpine Varieties, strong blooming plants. 2/- per doz. ; 12/- per 100. 
Our Seedling Alpine Auriculas are very fine, and make most lovely displays for “spring 
gardening. The strain is very select, all inferior flowers being carefully weeded out. Seed, 
6d. and 1/- per packet. 
Outdoor Carnations. 
Borden Selfs and Cloves. 
These can be sent out 
from October to April, or 
even later, but we do not 
recommend planting after 
the beginning of May. 
Border Carnations are 
of easiest culture, and 
thrive in almost any good 
garden soil. Their chief 
enemy is the wire-worm, 
and this may be kept at a 
distance by sowing mus- 
tard seed in the late 
summer, where it is in- 
tended to plant the 
Carnations, and digging 
the mustard crop in when 
it has reached a height of 
6 in. to 18 in. 
Twelve fine varieties, our 
selection, 4/6, 6/- and 9/- 
Reds, Whites, Rose, and 
other shades, for Borders,
