CARTERS SWEET-SCENTED TULIP, 
“MARECHAL NIEL.” —( 3 .) 
COLOUR: Orange red delicately shaded yellow. 
Height, 15 inches. (Recommended for forcing.) 
We had this lovely 
Tulip under trial to 
test its fragrant pro¬ 
perties, and one and 
all of those friends 
to whom we gave 
bulbs report upon its 
odorous favours. 
One lady, who uti¬ 
lized them as cut 
flowers, declares her 
room was filled with 
the fragrance of Marechal Niel roses. We 
noticed a similar odour in our own conservatories 
to such a degree that the whole atmosphere seemed 
permeated. 
Picked Bulbs, for growing in pots, price, per 
100, $2.50; per doz., 35c. 
“The bulbs have always flowered splendidly, and have 
won the admiration of everyone who has seen them. The 
lovely fragrance of this beautiful variety is deserving of special 
comment—Mr. B. HODGSON, Gardener to Mrs. Falconer. 
“TULIP DAY AT THE ROYAL HORTICUL¬ 
TURAL HALL.—The greatest novelty was, perhaps, 
to be found at Messrs. Carters stall. Here were to be 
seen four Tulips growing from one stalk. This vari¬ 
ety was grown by M. S. Mottet, and is a rare variety. 
The firm have this year succeeded in producing nine 
flowers from one stalk, but the number, it is found, 
varies to some considerable extent, four flowers being 
about the average.”— The Standard , May 15, 1913.
