CARTERS TESTED SEEDS—BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. 
POPPY. _These showy hardy flowers continue to absorb 
the attention of the greatest number of amateur 
gardeners, and deserve the position from their varied and 
intrinsic beauty. Sow thinly in patches, rows, or beds in spring 
where the plants are intended to bloom during early summer. 
The show may be extended if the seed pods are kept cut off. 
When used as cut flowers they should be picked early in the 
morning before opening out.

4869 Carters Shirley Poppy (Silk or Ghost Poppy).— This lovely 
garden annual Poppy has probably received its various names 
from its delicate texture and almost shadowy forms. The 
shades of colour are endless, and we offer a strain of unusual 
beauty, which has been rigidly selected from the stock of the 
original nominator, the Rev. \V. Wilks, Secretary to the Royal 
Horticultural Society. It makes a delightful border plant, and 
is fine for sowing at the sides of grassy walks or along paths 
where Nature’s growths give a wilderness-like effect to the 
surroundings. 
Shirley Poppy, Raynes Park 
Hybrids.— A unique strain of very 
robust habit, which contains a large
