Carters Large-flowered. 
This fine Hardy Perennial should be treated as an Annual for bedding. 
Sow the seed in pans or boxes from February to March, and transplant 
to bed or border when large enough. If the withering flowers and 
seed pods are kept picked off, the plants will last in bloom for a long 
time, and continue again the following year. Can be easily grown as 
Annuals if sown in the open ground in April. Thin out about 
12 inches apart.

CARTERS LONG-SPURRED AQUILEGIA. 
Hardy Perennials of great beauty and utility in borders, where they will 
bloom freely when established, early in the summer. The long- 
spurred type, of which we make a speciality, gives elegant cut flowers. 
We have now included some new and effective colours. Sow seeds 
under cover in February for transplanting in spring to a border, when, 
if the summer is favourable, they may bloom in autumn. If sown in 
summer sturdy plants will be ready by autumn for transplanting to the 
border to flower next May and June.
