5070 Munstead Strain. —We have been honoured with the dis¬ 
tribution of the re-selected of Miss Jekyll’s famous strain of 
Munstead Polyanthus Primrose. Every possible shade of white, 
cream, yellow, and orange is represented in this large-flowering 
race, and such a variety is shown that it is a difficult matter to 
find two plants of the same shade. We strongly recommend this 
Munstead Strain for bedding purposes, and they are even more 
suited for growing in woodland walks and other such shady 
positions. The raiser has made such strides with this strain 
within the last few years that quite a number of distinct and 
new colours especially among the orange shades, are now 
represented.

POLYANTHUS PRIMROSE. _The strains 
offered rep¬ 
resent the highest state of perfection to be attained in each 
section. There is no other flower which produces such a chaste, 
brilliant, and enduring effect during the early spring months, 
either singly or in masses in beds, about the same time as the 
Hyacinths and Tulips. Sow in spring or summer, in prepared 
seed bed, and transplant when large enough. 
5066 Carters Golden and White.— A wide range of cream, 
white, and yellow shades. 
5067 Carters Pure White —A good true white type; very 
effective for bedding. 
5068 Carters Dark Crimson.— This clear self deep-coloured 
selection is splendid for spring bedding where a well-defined 
deep crimson groundwork is required. It is very effective with 
the paler shades in Early Flowering and Darwin Tullips. 
5069 Gold Edged.— The flowers in this strain are smaller and more 
regular in outline than the varieties offered above. The in¬ 
dividual blooms are edged and laced with gold.

of very hardy constitution, but the plants do not exhibit the 
wide range of colour found in the more choice strains. 
5076 Mixed Ordinary.— A unique strain, in which every shade 
and colour found in Polyanthus Primroses is represented. The 
greatest care is exercised to prevent any particular colour 
predominating in the mixture.

CARTERS GARDEN PRIMROSE. 
The Primrose is one of those plants that resent too much 
coddling, and sometimes when great care is taken they refuse 
to grow. The simplest plan is to sow them in a partially shaded 
place, from May to July. Just scratch the seed in with a rake 
and firm the surface, under the influence of genial showers they 
will soon come up. The Blue Primrose may be sown in borders at 
the same season. 
5082 Blue.— To obtain the best results seedlings should be raised 
each year, sowing in March, as the blue is more intense the first 
season than in subsequent years.
