CARTERS TESTED SEEDS.

THE CARTER MULTIPLE UNIT SYSTEM.

OUR CHIEF NOVELTY.

REGISTERED NUMBERS

For the convenience of our customers when ordering Seeds and checking our bills, and to expedite the execution of
orders, we have allotted registered numbers to all Seeds offered in this Catalog, as it is much easier to write “No. 6 —
20 cents,” than “one ounce Carters Crimson Ball Beet — 20 cents.” We therefore urgently request our customers to
order by number and price only.

CONTENTS OF PACKETS.

All Vegetable and Flower Seeds are offered by weight, measure, or number of Seeds, according to circumstances,
packets containing unstated quantities being practically eliminated.

Large Seeds, such as Peas, Beans, Corn, etc., arc offered by the J4 pint, Vl pint, pint, and quart. Small Seeds by the
J4 oz., y% oz., % oz., K oz., Vi oz., 1 oz., M lb-, and 1 lb. Flower seeds and very choice Vegetable Seeds are offered
by number of seeds.

THE CARTER MULTIPLE UNIT SYSTEM FROM THE BUYER’S POINT OF VIEW.

By packing and offering our Seeds as above, our customers can buy as many seeds as they require, an innovation
which we believe will be very popular, and much appreciated.

THE CARTER MULTIPLE UNIT SYSTEM AND ITS EFFECT ON EVEN SOWING.

It is very difficult to sow small Seeds evenly. We when sowing our crops always divide the ground and seed up in
equal portions, and as we propose to supply our Seeds in small units if requested, our customers will be able to adopt
the same principle.

HOW THE CARTER MULTIPLE UNIT SYSTEM FAVOURS CO-OPERATIVE BUYING.

Friends, neighbors, clubs, societies, schools, etc., who wish to huy several packets of the same varieties can, by com-
bining their orders, purchase Carters Tested Seeds packed in individual packets at the quantity rate, and so make
a substantial saving, provided such orders are marked "Club Orders.”

THE QUALITY OF CARTERS TESTED SEEDS.

Carters Tested Seeds have been extensively grown in the United States of America and the Dominion of Canada for
nearly a century, and the fact that we have supplied the Royal and Noble Houses of Great Britain for this period
is proof conclusive that Carters Tested Seeds are the best.

ORIGIN OF CARTERS TESTED SEEDS.

All Seeds offered by Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., are grown, tested, packed, and sealed at the Royal Seed Establish-
ment at Raynes Park, London, England, with the exception of purely American-grown stocks, which we obtain from
growers of repute and integrity.

CASH DISCOUNT OF 5 PER CENT.

A discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed on all Vegetable and Flower Seed orders of the value of 1.00 or more, when
accompanied by cash. We make this offer in order to reduce our bookkeeping and billing expenses. (It does not
apply to charge orders or to any other goods.)

CARTERS MULTIPLE UNIT SYSTEM IS AN ECONOMICAL SYSTEM.

The smallest quantity of Seeds offered of all varieties are scientifically calculated to give a good sowing and supply
a good plant, or stand under ordinary conditions, and although some packets may seem to contain a great many
Seeds, one must make allowance for the vagaries of the weather, the size of the seeds, and the destruction done by
insects of all sorts.

The Carter Multiple Unit System is an economical system, and we cannot undertake to break away from it and
supply half-packets, nor can we agree to take any packets back opened or unopened.

DELIVERIES AND SERVICE.

Our new system of offering and selling Seeds has worked smoothly and efficiently during the past season. We guarantee
that all orders will be executed without delay.

SPECIAL NOTICE. Owing to the very unsteady market on all Seeds and
Fertilizers, etc. our prices are subject to change without notice.

ARTIf^linkF The Cultivation of Artichoke. — The

w scales and bottom of the flower-head are

eaten either boiled or raw as a salad. The young suckers are
sometimes tied together and blanched, and served in manner
the same as Asparagus. Sow the seeds early in April or May.
and when large enough transplant in rows 4 ft. apart with 2 ft.
between each plant. They will yield well the second year if
they are well protected from the cold throughout the winter by
earthing up and mulching. The Artichoke may be also treated
as an annual, sowing the seeds under glass and keeping the
seedlings growing vigorously until May, when they should be
set out in a rich soil. By this treatment they will produce fine
heads the first season. 1 oz. of seed will sow 35 ft. of drill.

good for growing the plants, and the seed can be sown as early
as the ground can be cultivated in the spring. When the plants
have made a showing thin out to 2 or 3 in. apart. I* or the
permanent bed deep, warm, rich loamy soil is required. Use
stable manures and fertilizers freely. Make trenches 6 to 8 ft.
apart and 8 to 10 in. deep. Set the one or two year old roots
about 2 ft. apart in the trench and cover lightly at first, grad-
ually filling in with soil and old cc/mpost. Every fall a liberal
dressing of coarse manure should be spread over the rows after
the tops have been cut, and this should be forked or spaded in
in the spring. Keep well cultivated. 1 oz. of seed will produce
about 200 plants; 4 to 5 lb. to the acre.

Carters Leviathan, and is a certain prize-winner. The seed is
of abnormal size. Stock very limited. _

ENGLISH DWARF OR BUSH. —The Cultivation of Bush Beans . —
Seed can be planted from the beginning of May until August,
but not until the soil becomes sufficiently warm, as they arc
particularly sensitive to cold. Plant in drills 1£ ft. apart, cover-
ing the seed about 2 in. Keep the soil well cultivated, using
care to do so only at times when it is quite dry, as earth scattered
on moist foliage creates rust.

French Beans for forcing may be sown in pots under glass from
December to April or in the open ground from May 15th on
through to August 1st. These plants should be thinned to about
1 ft. apart. 1 qt. of Bush Beans will plant 100 ft. of drill. They
are rather delicate, and should not be sown out of doors until the
warm weather sets in.

NOVELTY.

Carters Magpie (the new Longstanding
variety). — This remarkably fine Dwarf
Bean, which has attracted such favour-
able attention, was raised in France by an expert grower, who
considered it the finest Bean of its class. We have re-selected
it and grown it on for some years, until it has become equally
good here in all seasons, producing heavy crops when other vari-
eties are damaged or fail. It is also an excellent forcer. In
habit it somewhat resembles our celebrated Perpetual but is a
heavier cropper, the pods also being larger and longer.

No. 86 C arters Sunrise.

Carters Perpetual. — F. C. Certificate, R.H.S.; Award of Merit,
R.I1.S. This remarkable Bean is strongly recommended as
being in every way a great acquisition. It is of very compact
growth, the foliage of an attractive dark green, and the pods are
of medium size. The most important features are the prolonged
period this variety continues to bear, and its remarkable quality
for withstanding hot and dry seasons. Pods were picked in our
Testing Grounds at Raynes Park earlier than other varieties,
and young tender Beans were gathered after most other sorts
were quite finished.

Dwarf French Bean raised at our grounds
from the result of a cross between Ne Plus Ultra and Carters
Perpetual. Carters Sunrise is a most valuable addition, for it
not only possesses the good forcing quality of the Ne Plus Ultra.
but is a much better cropper, and produces larger and superior
pods. Very compact growth and remarkably early. Award of
Merit, R.H.S., 1913, and confirmed by the Society, July, 1914.

has encouraged us to pursue our efforts in selecting Stringless
Beans for general use. Our Holborn Wonder will be found to
be free from threads, is quite distinct and very prolific, and we
confidently recommend it.

AMERICAN DWARF OR BUSH LIMA. — The Cultivation of Bush
Lima Beans.— Select soil that is warm, rich, and well supplied
with vegetable matter or humus. Plant as early as soil can be
worked in the spring. Prepare the rows 2 ft. apart, and allow
each plant a space of 6 in. in the row. As these beans are very
slothful in growth, a top-dressing of well-rotted manure or some
good fertilizer or compost around the plants will aid greatly
in hastening maturity, besides increasing the yield.

POLE BEANS. — The Cultivation of Pole Beans. — Pole Beans, espe-
cially Lima Beans, show better results from a warm and very
rich loamy soil. The seed should be planted when the soil has
become thoroughly warmed through in the spring. Should the
ground be cold or soggy, the seed will rot. Poles should be set
in rows 4 ft. apart and 3 £ to 4 ft. between the poles. Plant 4 to 6
beans around each pole, and as the plants make a showing thin
out to 3 plants to the pole. Cultivate freely, and if possible top-
dress around each hill with a quantity of well-rotted manure com-
post or some good fertilizer. When hoeing, work this well into
the soil. Climbing varieties of French Beans may be sown under
glass whenever desired, in pots large enough to allow staking.
Be cautious in sowing the French varieties out of doors until
quite sure that the warm season is well established. 1 quart of
pole Beans will plant 200 hills. 1 quart of pole Lima Beans will
plant 100 hills.

DECT The Cultivation of Beets . — The seed should be sown from as soon as the ground can be worked in spring until July 1st, in soil

“ that has been well trenched and manured. Let the rows be about 18 in. apart, thin them to allow about 9 in. between the plants,

and keep the soil well cultivated during the summer. 1 os. of seed will sow 50 ft. of drill, 5 to 6 lb. per acre.

• Oarters Crimson Ball.— Awarded the First Class Certificate
of the Royal Horticultural Society. A round summer variety.
The roots are ready for use in the summer salads. Round Beets
are of the greatest value on account of earliness. The roots can
be lifted during the height of the summer season when salads
are In demand ; and the fresh taste imparted by the highly-
coloured slices is considered preferable to that from stored roots.
The old-fashioned flat types were never in favour with cooks,
because of their weak colour and stringy texture. In Carters
Crimson Ball these defects have been remedied. Fine specimens
of this variety have been exhibited in Gold Medal Collections,
and during the past few seasons 65 First Prizes have been
reported.

The Best All-Round Mangel.

Carters Windsor is well-known to be the best Yellow Globe Mangel
in cultivation because it is the

Labour Saver.

The Windsor saves in the labour bill. It grows such a clean
root, free from fangs and with a small top, that the crop is
easily pulled, and the roots can often be pushed out of the ground
with atouch of the boot. This case with which the crop of Wind-
sor Mangel can be lifted is not the least advantage of this popular
variety (For illustration see colored insert.)

198 Carters Russian Kale ( Chou de Russie ). — Award of Merit
and First Class Certificate after trial at Wisley. A distinct
and extremely hardy variety. The leaves are very curious, in
form somewhat resembling a deer’s antler, of singularly thick
substance, and of a peculiarly green colour. When cooked this
is the most delicious variety of Kale which we have ever tried,
the young shoots scpecially being particularly delicate in flavour.

199 Carters Welsh Kale. — A hardy variety of very handsome appear-
ance; of medium height. The leaves are long and densely curled,
but are more narrow than our Half Tall Scotch variety. The
flavour is particularly good.

201 Carters Halt Tall Scotch Kale . — A fitting companion to our

well-known Dwarf Extra Curled type. The leaves are very dense
and moss curled. Stands the coldest weather, and the greater
the frost the more delicate the leaves eat. If the leaves at the
top are cut during the early part of the winter, it will greatly
encourage the growth of the young shoots upon the stem.

204 Carters Mammoth Tall Scotch Kale. — A very robust variety,
suitable for large establishments where quantities of winter green-
stuff s are needed.

CABBAGE T/ie Cultivation of Cabbage For plants of

w the early varieties sow the seed hi January or

February, under glass, and prick out into flats ox frames about
2 in. apart each way. Transplant to the open ground as soon in
the spring as the land can be properly prepared. The plants
should be placed from 1ft ft. to 2 ft. apart in rows, which should
be at least 2 ft. apart. They should be kept well cultivated, and
during drought should be thoroughly irrigated if this is possible.
The plants do best in a rich, warm, fibrous soil. The seed of the
late Cabbage should be sown in drills in the open ground during
April and May and transplanted in June or July, leaving more
room between the plants than was allowed for the early sorts.
1 oz. of Cabbage seed will produce about 3,000 heads. 4 os. will
plant an acre.

804 Carters Mammoth Beef heart Cabbage* — The finest

Is much more robust and hardy than many of the small varieties
now recommended for early summer use. No less than 48 First
Prizes were reported to us by our customers last season.

Cultivation of Cauliflower . —
the earliest Cauliflower sow
the seed in hotbeds or greenhouse during February or March
and transplant to flats or cold frames 2 or 3 in. apart each way.
Set in the open ground as early in the spring as the ground can
be properly worked. Plants should be 2\ ft. apart each way.
The soil should be warm, very rich, and fibrous, with an abun-
dance of humus and moisture. A copious supply of water during
the dry spells, especially during the heading period, will help.
For late Cauliflower start plants in the open ground and treat as
late Cabbage. When the heads have formed they should be
blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying. 1 oz. of
Cauliflower seed will produce 3,000 plants.

393 Carters Forerunner. — The quickest Cauliflower ever grown.
Ten days earlier than others. Large white head, solid, and good
size. Sow in middle of February, transplant when first leaves
drop, under glass, plant in open ground end of May, and the first
heads will be ready by the middle of June. The leaves protect
the head from the summer sun. Included in the First Prize and
Champion Exhibit of Vegetables, Shrewsbury: 1912, and also a
feature of the Large Gold Medal Exhibit at the same critical
meeting. Staged in five Gold Medal Exhibits during 1914.

CUCUMBER. The Cultivation of Indoor Cucumber.—

English Forcing or Frame varieties for
winter use must be started under glass early in September, in
pots or pans, keeping the seed pans shaded from strong light
until the seedlings appear. When established, transplant to the
permanent position in hotbeds or greenhouse, in a well-prepared
•oil, and supply freely with lukewarm water and light liquid
manures; or sow in a pot or pan during February or March in
heat for summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from strong
light until the seedlings appear, then transplant to well-prepared
hot-bed or other position, when the plants are sufficiently
established. If intended for cold-frame culture the plants must
not be put out until all danger of frost is past.

ENGLISH FORCING OR FRAME.

456 Carters Model . — One of the handsomest Cucumbers grown,
embodying the fine form and general characteristics of Tender
and True with the prolific habit and strong constitution of the
Telegraph. Perfect in outline, with scarcely any neck, and of
fine flavour, this variety has become popular both for exhibition
and table purposes. Splendid specimens of this fine Cucumber
were conspicuous in the First and Champion Prize Exhibit of
Carters Vegetables ‘open to the world) at Shrewsbury Show, 1912.
The Large Gold M«»dal Exhibit at the same Exhibition also con-
tained some remarkable fruit of this variety. 229 First Prizes
reported by customers during the past few seasons.

OUTDOOR VARIETIES.

The Cultivation of Outdoor Cucumber.— For early use sow
April 1st in hotbeds, upon inverted grass sods, so that they can be
readily transplanted to the open ground in rich soil when all danger
of frost is past. For outdoor cultivation sow the seed when the
weather becomes settled and warm, in hills from 4 to G ft. apart each
way. Thin out to four of the strongest plants to a hill after danger
from insects is over. These plants exist best in a warm, moist, rich,
loamy soil. Continue planting at intervals foi a succession.
Cucumbers should be gathered when huge enough for use. whether
required or not. because if left to ripen they spoil the productiveness
of the plant. For pickles plant in June and July. 1 oz. of seed will
plant 50 hills, 2 lb. to the acre.

seedlings appear prick them into flats or cold frames, leaving
several inches between the plants for growth. As soon as a nice,
rich warm spot can be worked in the open, transplant the
sturdiest plants in rows 1 ft. apart and leaving 8 to 12 in. between
the plants in the rows. For a succession of growths sow the
seeds very lightly in open ground and thin the plants to 6 in. or

successfully, the following reqvlrements are essential:
;er manure, not peat litter), shake out well, leaving a9
little straw as possible ; the better the manure
the better the bed will bear. After shaking
out. stack your short manure closely, as
for the preparation of a hotbed, and there
let it remain for a week to have a good heating,
then turn it over and place what ha9 been
outside the heap into the centre. Repeat this
turning at intervals of three days (four turn-
ings should be sufficient), and if dry, use
water enough to moisten it gradually at each
turning ; this will get the material into right
condition for the beds, as moisture is one of
the most important points to study and the
right texture of the material depends almost
entirely upon this proper state of moisture.
If you get your material right in this respect,
whatever shape you make your beds, whether
flat beds or ridges, you will not be likely to
experience any trouble afterwards. The ideal
temperature is 55° to 60°, but Mushrooms do
come at a much lower temperature ; a higher
temperature than 60° should be avoided if
possible.

After the beds are ready the bricks are each
broken into about ten pieces of about equal
size. These pieces should be inserted about
2 in. below the surface and about 10 in. apart;
the bed should then be gently stamped or
compressed. In about 15 days the spawn
should have run entirely through the bed.
The whole surface should be then covered
with about 2 in. of loam and over this place a
few inches of straw. Under these conditions

Q |U | Q M The Cultivation of Onion . — The ground cannot well be too rich for this crop, nor the soil in too fine a condition. Sow the seed

w 1 w ■ as early as the soil can be worked though the weather be yet damp and cold. The soil must be made firm before the operation
is undertaken in e ; ther beds or drills. The seed should be sown thinly and covered lightly, the drills 1 ft. apart, and the young Onions thinned
out to about 6 in. apart., according to the variety. In very dry weather a good watering is very beneficial. Growers of Onions for exhibition
generally transplant, and this is also a sure means of checking the onion grub, so troublesome in some districts. 1 oz. of seed will sow 100 ft.
of drill; 4 to 5 lb. to an acre.

^ > bp 7 Vic Cultivation of the Garden Pea . — The smooth round-seeded extra early varieties of Peas arc generally the very

GAKUKlN ■ tn5> first to be sown in spring, and should be sown as soon as the ground is fit to be worked. The wrinkled sorts are
not so hardy, and should not be planted before the ground has warmed, up to a certain degree. The tall varieties require brush or other suitable
support, but by selecting sorts that do not grow over 2 ft. the necessity of providing brush may be eliminated. A careful selection ot varieties ana
a frequent planting for succession will insure a continuous crop of peas from June until the early frosts. The seed should be sown in rows 3 It. apart
and 3 in. deep, and should be planted at the rate of 1 qt. of the smoother sorts to 100 ft. of drill and 1 qt. of the wrinkled varieties to 80 running
feet. Cultivate similarly to corn or beans. The taller sorts may be planted in double drills and brush placed between for a support. ror best, results
all garden peas require good, fertile soil and abundant moisture Much success has been attained by the use of only the very earliest dwart peas
by making plantings ten days apart from early spring until the last of July.

When ordering Peas to be sent by mail add postage at zone rates. Average weight, 1 pt. equals 1 lb.; 1 qt. equals 2 lb.

the Earliest Dwarf Pica in the World, proved not only from
our own trials, but from the expert reports we receive from time

greenhouse or vinery doing practically nothing during the winter
months, and who can, with this sturdy Pea, raise supplies for
their table very early in the year.

SECOND EARLY GARDEN PEAS.

924 Carters Palsy (Wrinkled. Ht. 1} ft.).— The most famous
second early Marrowfat in cultivation. First Class Certificate,
R.H.S. This grand dwarf Marrowfat Pea has been before the
public for some years, and still stands at the head, as confirmed
by the great independent trial of Peas conducted by the Royal
Horticultural Society. Their experiment comprised over 80
varieties, and Carters Daisy gained the First Class Certificate
given by the Society. Carters Daisy Pea is an early maincrop,
growing about 1 i ft. high. The haulm is very robust, and the
crop of giant, well-filled pods of good colour is enormous. Visitors

of this remarkable Pea contained in our Exhibit of Vegetables,
which was awarded the Gold Medal. An excellent forcing Pea.

— This grand Pea, which has caused such a stir in the horticul-.

but the pods are considerably larger than either parent. In our
own trials it has amply demonstrated its wonderful superiority,

The Cultivation of . Squash and Vegetable Marrow. — Never sow the seed in the spring until lasting warm weather is an absolute
certainty A warm, mellow, well-manured soil suits them best. The seed should be planted in hills about 4 ft. apart each way
for the bush varieties and marrows, and 10 to 12 ft. apart each way for the running varieties. Plant 12 to 15 seeds in each hill so as to offset
the loss by insects and weakness. When all danger of such losses is past, thin to three >r four plants to the hill. Winter sorts may be planted
with corn, using four or five seeds in every fourth or fifth hill at the same time as the corn is planted. 1 oz. of seed will plant 50 hills of the

ENGLISH VEGETABLE MARROW.

The Vegetable Marrow Squashes are of an English production
but should be more generally used in this country as they are far
superior in every way to our summer Squash. They will grow well
anywhere with just a little care, and the results are more than satis-
fying. When the fruit is from half to three quarters grown prepare
similarly to Squash or slice and fry, like Egg Plant, and the
superiority in bovV\ cases is remarkable. All the varieties of Marrow*
that we offer for planting in America this year were planted with
great results last year, and we predict a great future for this vegetable
here, judging from the remarks of satisfaction on all sides.

TAM ATH py^l IQ 14 The Cultivation of Tomatoes
TOlVIAlU — LNULIdn — February or March is the
VARIETIES. proper time for starting sea-

soneble plants. The plants
can be started in greenhouses, hotbeds, window boxes, or most
any sunny spot where the temperature is never below 60 degrees.
Sow the seed lightly in rows, and when the plants have reached
a height of 2 in. transplant to hotbeds or boxes, setting the plants
4 or 5 in. apart each way. May 15th until June 1st is a good
period for the transplanting to the open ground. Set the plants
deeply 4 ft. apart, mixing a good shovelful of well-rotted manure
with the hilling soil of each plant ; water freely at this time and
protect for a few days from the sun during midday. A clearer-
coloured, better-flavoured, and larger fruit will be obtained by
training the plants to a trellis. Tomatoes are rapidly growing in
favour as a greenhouse vegetable, and the forcing vaiietios do
well and produce wonderful results. The seeds should be started
late in August for a midwinter crop. 1 oz. of seed will produce
2,000 to 3,000 plants.

Carters Golden Sunrise.— As in the

case of its famous prototype. Carters Red
Sunrise, this splendid yellow variety has
been awarded the First Class Certificate
by the Royal Horticultural Society during
1916 — true evidence of its superior qualities. We believe this
kind has a great future before it; it is a heavy cropper of hand-

mi Carters Sunrise. — The finest Tomato for indoor or outdoor
cultivation. Awarded First Class Certificate, R.H.S. — indoor
cultivation. F.C.C. confirmed as Outdoor variety after growth
at Wislcy. During 1905 an extensive trial of Tomatoes was
made by the Royal Horticultural Society, 71 varieties being sent
in by the leading houses. The only First Class Certificate was
given to Carters Sunrise, and the following note is attached tp
the report: — “Tomatoes have reached such perfection that it is
now very difficult to raise a variety superior to those already in
commerce. In this trial only one stood out as being of excep-
tional value, viz., Sunrise.” It is some time since such a high
honour has been granted to a Tomato.

The Chief Points in "Sunrise” are —

Its Earliness. — It ripens several days earlier than most varieties .

Its Cropping Properties. — See Photographs and Testimonials.

Its I-Iealtiiy and Robust Constitution. — No trace of disease.

Its Prolific Character. — See Photographs.

Its Solid but Delicate Flesh. — C ontains very few seeds.

Its Evenness of Size as a dessert fruit.

Its Bright Scarlet Colour and rich acid flavour.

Its Equal Value for Indoor or Outdoor Cultivation.

Gold Medal, Bristol, 1913; Leamington, 1913; Shrewsbury, 1912.

The Best and Earliest. — “I grew your Sunrise Tomato
this year, and wish to say that it is the best and earliest Tomato
I have ever grown. The seeds were sown the same day with four
other varieties and all treated alike, and I was picking splendid,
well-formed ripe fruit from your Sunrise plants fifteen days
earlier than any of the other varieties.” — A lexander Michie,
Plymouth, Mass.

1112 Carters Puke of York. — Awarded the First Class Certificate
of the R.H.S.; included in Three Gold Medal Collections during
1914. This grand variety still holds a very high position in
public favour. Colour rich scarlet, splendid cropper, almost
globular in shape; flesh very firm, fine flavour. A leading feature
of,this superb variety is that it ripens its fruit with the most
pronounced uniformity, whilst the profusion of clusters, averaging
six and ten evenly-formed fruit each, makes it conspicuously
handsome. These clusters contain variously sized fruits, large
and medium, both for the table and exhibition. It can be grown
in the open, but does not ripen so quickly as our Outdoor variety.
Invaluable as an exhibition variety, as for private growers and
market purposes. 32 First Prizes reported last season.

Turnip. — White, round, handsome ; foliage short
and sturdy. A very early variety that should be
valuable for forcing." This remarkable cross-bred
Turnip closely follows the Milan, and is consider-

SALAD PLANTS, &c.- pleasure of salad' several

days a week, at all events during the summer season, with but
trifling expense. It is a wholesome addition to more substantial
diet, rendering it grateful to the palate, and it is a pity that it
is so rarely brought to table in an average household. We will
enumerate a few of the almost unknown salad plants, with some
notes on their cultivation.

1253 Cardoon. -This vegetable is grown for its edible midrib, and
must be blanched in |the same manner as Celery. The seed
should be sown in the spring where the plants are to remain in
drills 3 ft. apart, covering the seed about 1 in. When the plants
make a showing thin out to 1 ft. apart.

Celeriac, Carters Improved (or Turnip-rooted Celery ). —
See page 14.

1300 Chervil is used for seasoning soups and mixing in salads. It
is grown from seed sown in spring and in summer for successional
crops. The soil should be rich and light, and the bed 4$ ft.
wide, with an alley on each side. Sow seed in shallow drills
across the bed, 9 in. apart, and rake over the surface. When
the leaves have grown an inch or two, cut off for use as required.

548 Chicory. — The majority of people know Chicory as an adulterant
of Coffee, hut few are aware of the part it plays in the salad bowl,
to which it adds a pleasing flavour. Chicory is so easily grown
and so useful that it should receive more attention from amateurs
who desire to grow salads. This plant is sown in late spring
in the open ground, and thinned out to about a foot apart to
grow through the summer, well watered in dry weather. With
the change to a colder season, the leaves decay and nearly all
drop off. The roots are then lifted, and a few at a time placed
in boxes of rich sandy soil, leaving crown well above the surface.
After a good watering these boxes are stood in a perfectly dark
place, and in a few weeks, according to the heat, some nicely
blanched leaves will be .fit to gather. More roots, kept in a
cool place until wanted for bringing along in heat, may be simi-
larly treated.

1301 Corn Salad or Lambs’ Lettuce. — This is a hardy annual,
and in great demand as a salad plant on the Continent. In
France it is preferred, admired, and relished in winter and spring
instead of Lettuce, but it is not nearly so highly appreciated
in America as it deserves. But when Endive is scarce Corn
Salad is of great service, and for early use should be sown in
frames or in boxes and placed in slight heat. For summer sow
in a sunny spot, amongst the ordinary low-growing vegetables.

DANDELION. — -A useful salad plain, especially when Endive and
Lettuce are scarce in winter. The roots are grown in a similar
manner to Chicory, and large quantities of the blanched leaves
are sold in the market for this esculent.

which may be sown in light garden soil on a warm sheltered
border in a bed, and attended to in the same way as Chervil.

1310 Purslain, Green.

1311 Rampion. — A plant producing a spindle-shaped root of light
colour and of agreeable flavour. It may be raised from seed if
sown in a bed in an open warm aspect, and in soil of a rich
compost, of a light open texture. Water well in dry weather.
Should the season prove mild, the plants will be ready for use in
November.

UEDDC In the olden days all careful housewives had a herb

garden, and the drying and packing of herbs was
an important duty, as it was recognised that the flavouring of
most dishes depended on a supply of clean, well-cured, fresh
herbs.

growth when in bloom and tie in bunches, which may be dried
in an airy position. The young growth may also be used in a
green state.

CARTERS COMPLETE GRASS FERTILIZERS.

Carters Complete Grass Manure (No. I) is, as its

name implies, a complete grass food, that is to say, it
contains all that is necessary for the growth of fine grasses,
but it does not force or burn them.

Directions for use . — When making a new lawn or green,
spread the manure evenly over the surface at the rate of
2 or.. per square yard, and rake it in. The seed can be
sown immediately afterwards, but it is better to allow a
few days to elapse between the two operations. For
renovating a lawn, spread the manure evenly over the
ground at the rate of 2 oz. per square yard, and rake it in
whilst preparing the surface for the seed. When used to
improve existing turf, sow at the rate of 2 oz. per square
yard, mixing the manure with two or three times its own
bulk of sifted sandy soil or sharp sand — sea sand — when
treating heavy soils.

Per bag (100 lbs.), 6.50; per i ton (10 bags), 62.50;
per ton (20 bags), 120.00

Carters Anticlover Manure (No. 2) is also a complete
gra3S food. It is slightly quicker in action than the above,
and its constituents are so balanced that it effectively
checks the growth of clover, and for this reason is very
valuable for dressing Putting Greens, Tennis Courts,
Croquet Lawns, and other Lawns in which the growth of
clover is objectionable.

Directions for use . — Sow at the rate of 2 oz. per square
yard, mixing the manure with two or three times its own
bulk of sifted soil when treating light sandy soils, or sharp
sand — sea sand — when treating heavy soils.

Per bag (100 lbs.), 6.75; per £ ton (10 bags), 65.00;

Requires brushing and rolling daily, which means damaged turf, roots
bruised and exposed, fine grasses smothered, and ultimate bare patches

one of the finest texture. Very useful for dressing Golf
Courses, Football, Hockey, Cricket Fields, &c.

Directions for use . — Mix the manure with two or three
times its own bulk of sifted soil or sand, so as to facilitate
its even distribution, and apply it broadcast at the rate of
500 lb. per acre, either in early autumn or spring and
brush-harrow it in.

of Rex Humus will cover 144 square yards to a thickness

Nelrose.— This is the wonderful glow-
ing pink variety. The seed we offer is a
highly-selected stock, which is true, with
the exception of a very small proportion of plants which produce
flowers of a slightly darker shade of pink than the type. No
Antirrhinum can compare with it for indoor decoration, and it is
equally effective for beds or borders.

ANTIRRHINUM

or SNAPDRAGON.

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 easily be grown as annuals if sown in the
open ground in April. Thin out about 1 ft. apart.

DAI CAM Balsams may be sown from the beginning to the

In a light, rich loam, covering the seed about half an inch,
keeping the soil moist, but not wet. When the plants have
formed the second leaves they may be transplanted into pots,
and gradually hardened off for transplanting out of doors in
June, when they may be placed in the open borders, the warmest
situations being the most suitable, and allowing 2 ft. each way

Perpetual flowering. Small blooms in clusters.

For growing in pots this strain is superb, producing a very high
percentage of really first quality perfectly double flowers,
equalling the best named varieties, but having more vigorous
constitutions. The seed should be sown in heat at end of winter
to produce strong flowering plants in the summer, in pans of
very fine soil. Prick off the seedlings into pansand pot off later.
Care should be used when sowing, as the seed is very fine. We
can also supply tubers ready to start into growth in early spring

preferred) in pots or pans, in peaty loam
and sand, covering the seeds scarcely a quarter of an inch, place
on warm shelf near the glass in greenhouse, keeping the soil
moist but well drained. The seed takes from four to six weeks
to germinate. When the bulbs are the size of a Pea transplant
singly into small pots, transferring to larger pots as the plants
develop. An average of 60® is the temperature best suited for
producing well-developed flowers, and good ventilation without
draught is a safeguard from disease. We also supply dry bulbs

last for several days in water. Sow in open in spring, and thin

Many of our later introductions of Eschscholtzias have
been characterised by a distinctly compact and upright
habit of growth, rendering this attractive flower suitable for
fronts of borders and other places in the garden not hitherto
filled by Eschscholtzias. We classify them accordingly.

CARTERS PYRAMID.

We offer these charming pyramidal types of Forget-me-nots with
confidence that they will be greatly appreciated by our customers for
spring bedding purposes. The plants assume au upright habit of
growth, and when in bloom resemble miniature pyramids of floral
beauty. These new Forget-me-nots are especially valuable for plant-
ing in combination with Tulips, as their upright habit does not check
the growth of the flower spikes from the bulbs or make a bed appear
so crowded as when plants of more exuberant growth are used as a
groundwork. The seeds should be sown out of doors on a partially
shaded border towards the end of summer. Ht. 1 ft.

soil consisting of a mixture of half peat and half leaf mould, with a
small quantity of pulverised charcoal and silver sand sifted very
fine, to within half an inch of the rim; water with fine rose, then sow
the seed thinly, taking care not to cover it with soil ; place in a tem-
perature of 75 deg., and cover the pans with a piece of shaded glass,
gradually removing the same as the seedlings progress. When large
enough to handle, prick off into pans at about 1 in. apart, then pot
off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength
to go into 5-in. or 48 pots, and will bloom in August and September
of the same year. The potting off soil should consist of one-half
good loam, one-half fibrous peat, with a good sprinkling of sand
and broken charcoal.

KOCHIA A charming and most effective decorative plant,

11 ^ w with a habit much resembling one of the com-
pact evergreen shrubs. It has a light grass-green feathery foliage,
which changes as the summer advances to a rich crimson. It is a
hardy annual, a rapid grower and flourishes on all soils. The beat
method is to sow the seed under glass, pot the seedlings off singly,
and ultimately bed out or plunge the pots in which they are growing.
These round shrub-like plants (often called the Mock Cypress) are
most effective when planted amongst flowers, such as Geraniuma.

anyone desirous of having a display of the most brilliant flowers,

the brightest of the summer, merely needing the seed-balls
picked off. If these are permitted to mature, the beauty of the

■ " * Mr. James Carter took this plant in hand with m

view to its improvement in size and range of colourings, and one
of our earliest successes was Jet Black ( see No. 48061. We also
introduced the Peacock (see No. 4792). Both are still amongst
the best in cultivation. Pansies will succeed in any soil that is
not too hot and dry. and if a special compost is made for them it
should consist of one-third rich loam, one-third leaf mould, and
one-third well-decayed dung. In early spring the seed should
be sown in frames or in boxes for summer and autumn blooming,
and later on sowings may be made about July out of doors in a
partially shaded place, transplanting in October or November
into where they are intended to flower the following season.
The final position should be an open one. and the plants not
less than 6 in. apart. There should be no check in their progress
either by cold winds, very hard frosts, or long droughts. Nor
should they be watered during the hottest months with very
cold water. We have classed each type so that Pansy lovers
have an opportunity of securing a large and varied choice, all
representing the very best strains in cultivation.

It makes a most effective edging if the growths of the taller

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.

CARTERS GARDEN PRIMROSE.

The Primrose is one of those plants that resent too mu 'h
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.

CAREERS TESTED SEEDS— BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.

DQPPY 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.

SINGLE ANNUAL VARIETIES.

4869 Carters Shirley Poppy ISilk 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 art endless, and wc offer a strain of unusual
beauty, which has been rigidly selected from the stock of the
original nominator, the Rev W. 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
number of new shades. An outstanding feature is the wide
range of smoke, blue, and slate variations, which are quite new
among Shirley Poppies.

5005 Carters Giant Coral. — This Giant Primula is the result of a
cross between Princess May and Holborti Salmon. The trusses
of rich coral red flowers of immense substance and size, with a
beautiful light green eye, together with a strong habit and
dark green foliage, make it a very valuable addition to our Giant
Primulas.

5006 Carters Holborn Crested. — A very distinct and beautiful
Primula of the Giant section. The large pink flowers, beauti-
fully fringed, carried on a fine truss thrown up well from the

5016 Carters Prize Single Mixed.— This splendid mixture con-
tains all the finest varieties and most beautiful forms of this
popular greenhouse annual, for which our house has long been
famous. New seedling forms and art shades are introduced, in
addition to the choicest standard varieties. All varieties not of
the highest merit are rigorously excluded, with the result that
this mixture will be found unsurpassable for the compactness
and vigour of the plants and the beauty and variety of the
individual blossoms. When pricking out the seedlings, take
care not to discard the smaller plantlets, as these frequently
produce some of the newest and most delicate shades.

Carters Oakleaf. — This variety marks
a decided step forward in the cult of the
Primula. Its deeply laciniated foliage
makes it appear at all times an object of lightness, gracefulness,
and beauty, being in strong contrast to the majority of Primulas.
The flowers, which are of a rich rose-pink colour, are firmly
fixed in the calyx, the truss being carried well above the foliage
on a stiff stem, making it by nature of its lightness invaluable
for all decorative work, especially for table.

5007 Carters King Edward.— The finest White Primula we have

PRIMULA Malacoides “King Albert/'

— Much larger and more free-flowered
than the type. The beautiful clean
soft rose blooms have an almost circular outline, which greatly
adds to the value of this variety as a decorative plant. This
beautiful Primula is not by any means a difficult subject to culti-
vate. The seeds hould be sown in succession, making, say, three
sowings during July and August, in finely sifted soil, and kept
moist until thoroughly germinated. A cool shady frame kept
close is the best place in which to raise the seedlings, gradually
giving more air as the seedlings grow. A cool pit or frame is
the very best place until November, when the plants may be
placed on a shelf in a cold house, and not kept too moist, as
damping is very liable during the dull months. As soon as the

buds are seen pushing upwards, a very

slight feeding of manure may be given
and also a warmer atmosphere.

SCABIOUS. This bright-flowering plant is usually

treated as an annual in our gardens. During
recent years it has been greatly improved both in habit and
range of colours, and is fast becoming one of the most popular
of border flowers. When given plenty of room and the seed-
vessels are kept regularly picked off, it will last through the
whole of the summer. Owing to its sweetness the bees are very
fond of it, and its floral favours also attract all the most beauti-
ful types of butterflies in the neighbourhood. Sow the seed
in heat in February and March in a pan or small box. and trans-
plant the seedlings 3 in. apart in larger boxes; harden off as
spring advances, and set out in the border towards the end of
May. They may also be sown where intended to grow during
March and April.

CPUI7 AMTUI IQ During the last few years the

Ovrll^MIl I nww* Schizanthus has leapt into popu-

larity owing to the remarkable advance which has been made
both in the habit of the plants and diversity of colours now
available. By sowing in spring, summer, and autumn a
succession of bloom may be obtained throughout the year. Our
Butterfly and large-flowered strains, together with the distinct
Retusus forms, are the most suitable for greenhouse and winter
garden decoration.

We very highly recommend this class of Stocks to all who have
not grown them. They were first brought into prominence by the
advent of that charming pink variety Beauty of Nice. The following
varieties all resemble this variety in habit and profusion of bloom.
We know of few Stocks which produce such a high percentage of
double flowers. Although usually treated as winter varieties, they
are admirably suited for summer bedding if treated as ten-week
varieties. Sow in July and August for winter flowering, and in March
and April for summer displays.

CARTERS SELECTED LARGE-FLOWERED SWEET PEAS.

During, 1914 Carters Sweet Peas were awarded a Silver Cup by the Royal Horticultural Society at Holland House Show; Gold Medal, ShePPerton ;
Gold Medal, Sherborne ; and a Gold Medal at Sevenoaks. Gold Medal, Bournemouth, 1913. Three Large Gold Medals and Two Silver Gilt Medals have
been awarded our Sweet Peas by the National Sweet Pea Society since 1908.

With a view to assisting those of our customers who are not quite conversant with Sweet Peas in their now extremely numerous varieties,
we offer our selection of large-flowered varieties as under. , ... , .

Although all good for exhibition, we chiefly have in mind their suitability for garden decoration and cutting purposes. With this end in
view, we have selected giant-flowered types borne in threes and fours on very long stems. All are bright colors and pleasing shades, which do
not scorch in the sun. The plants are of robust habit, and if the bloom is judiciously cut will produce large quantities of beautiful flowers until
late autumn.

THE MEANING OF OUR TRADE-MARK.

The founder of our firm, James Carter, was, we believe, the first to guarantee the germination of his
Garden Seeds nearly a hundred years ago. The practice is still followed with the advantage of more
scientific and up-to-date methods. The sign, Carters Tested Seeds, seen in the photographs of our build-
ings, is in a significant position, as it is placed immediately over our Laboratories at Raynes Park, wherein
the scientific skill of our Botanists and Analyst, aided by the finest apparatus in the world (always open
to inspection), should assure for this title the very best recommendation. We were awarded the Large
Silver Medal for our own invented apparatus for Seed Testing at the recent Royal International Horti-
cultural Exhibition in London, and more recently awarded a Silver Cup by the Royal Horticultural
Society at Chelsea. All our seeds, after passing through our Laboratory Tests, are grown in our Grounds
at the same time as our customens grow them, to full maturity, so that we may assure ourselves of the
quality and trueness of each variety. By examining our trials from time to time we know exactly how
the produce of our Seeds should appear in the gardens of our customers all over the world, making allow-
ances for the various climates, and by the aid of our comparative tests (we try all seeds of repute), wc
assure ourselves that our customers are growing “the best and only the best” and “Tested.”

BEGONIAS.

// by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight 7 lb. per 100. Dozens mailed free.

The tuberous-rooted Begonia has become a plant of such importance, owing to the rapid improvement it has undergone, that no garden or
greenhouse can be considered complete without it.

Tubers may be started into growth from January onwards, but the sudden plunging into a very hot temperature is not conducive to a good
strong plant, therefore they should be put into a medium temperature. Place them in boxes filled with leaf-mould, and as soon as the tubers are
started pot into small pots in a mixture of equal parts of leaf-soil and loam, with the addition of a little silver sand. When the roots reach the
sides of these pots they should be re-potted into a larger size, using a little heavier compost than before. After a few weeks again re-pot them,
this time into their flowering pots, using a compost of about two parts rich loam, one part leaf-mould, wjth'a little sand or broken mortar rubbl*
to keep the whole porous, and some broken charcoal and dried cow manure. Pot moderately firm, and place in a cool house, keeping it close foi
a few days until root action commences, afterwards giving ample air, and damping floors and stagings on warm days until flowering commences

GLOXINIA

// by Parcel Post add Postage at zone rates ; weight 4 lb. per 100.

This beautiful flowering plant is very popular and exceedingly
attractive in conservatory decoration. It has been greatly improved
in the size and colours of the blossoms in recent years, and includes
almost every shade. When grown from tubers it is treated
somewhat like the Begonia, although during the younger stages of
growth the plant prefers a moist, warm atmosphere. Directly the
flower buds commence to burst they may be transferred to a drier
situation, such as the conservatory staging affords. The soil recom-
mended should be of a rich, loamy description, mixed with sand and
leaf-mould, and they may be fed with liquid manure up to the time
the buds appear.

Our stock of Invincible Prize Gloxinias embraces the greatest
variety of colouring and form, including rich crimson, white, and

CARTERS LILIUM AURATUM.

The beautiful Golden-rayed. Lily of Japan.

This grand Lily has now been brought to such a popular price
that it should be largely grown in every garden. In soils suitable to
its taste it will thrive in increased vigour each season in borders,
and should be extensively cultivated in such spots. It can be seen
in its full beauty in association with ornamental shrubs and bold-
loaved herbaceous plants. It flowers rather later in summer than
6ome of its relations.

We have again made arrangements for large consignments of this
beautiful Lily to reach us direct from the growers, and are certain to
handle the pick of the Japanese harvest.

All bulbs are carefully sorted by hand, and are examined person-
ally before despatch.

LILY OF THE VALLEY

A crown is the description given to a single rootlet. They are
generally sold in bundles of 25, and are the best for pots and forcing.
When throwing up blossoms grown in this manner, they are most
serviceable in a number of ways for decorative purposes. A clump
is a large conglomerated mass of roots that will throw up a quantity
of flowering spikes, either forced or when planted out of doors. Clumps
are preferred for a permanent bed in the garden.

By availing ourselves of the modern method of cold storage we are
enabled to supply forcing roots ot this pretty decorative plant through-
out the year. One advantage these retarded roots have over those
handled in the ordinary way is the Quick time in which the flowers
are produced. We have seen dormant crowns put into heat and
brought into beautiful bloom within three weeks, but we recom-
mend from four to five weeks as the average time for a pertect flower
spike.

MONARCH OF THE EAST.

(As originally named and offered by us.)

DOUBLE SWEET-SCENTED
TUBEROSES.

This remarkable plant exhibits one of those extraordinary traits in
Nature ♦‘.at few are able to understand, for the magnificent flowers
actually come out of the dry bulb without being placed in soil and

water.

The flower sheath some-
times reaches a length of
nearly 2 ft., is of a red-
brown colour, tipped with
red and yellow, whilst the
Inner parts of the flower
are equally as brilliant.
The bulb of this extra-
ordinary plant needs only
to be placed in some fancy
receptacle, without
water, in a warm room,
or on a mantelshelf, when
without showing either
leaves or roots, the flower
makes its appearance
early in the year, thriving
entirely upon the nourish-
ment contained within the
bulb.

Directly after the flower
fades, and a growth appears
to be coming from the bulb,
it should be potted in a
large pot in rich soil and
freely watered. Later on

Beautiful pure white flowers.

The Sweet-scented Double White Tuberose ( Polianthes tuberoaa )
has be'- ime exceedingly popular. They possess both a character and
a penurne distinct from
any oilier flower, and can
be induced to bloom at
various seasons. At one
time they were only obtain-
able from the south of
Europe; now they are
specially cultivated in
different parts of the world,
and can easily be forced
into bloom for the Easter
festivals. Those who do
not cultivate these flowers
for winter decoration can
procure the bulbs in the
spring, when they will
come into flower during
the summer. The double-
flowered Tuberose may be
had in succession by
potting the tubers and
standing them in a cold
frame, covering th-i« 4 in.

FARMOGERM THE STANDARD INOCULATION

For Alfalfa, Clovers, Peas, Beans, Vetch, and Sweet Peas.

What Farmogerm is

Farmogerm is a pure culture, or
growth of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that
have been selected and bred up to trans-
form large amounts of nitrogen from
the air into soluble nitrates. These
bacteria are grown in a jelly, or food, in
which they remain active for long
periods of time, and sent out in a bottle
which admits the necessary supply of
pure air, yet keeps out destructive con-
taminations. If alfalfa can be grown
on hot, sandy land of South New Jersey
why can’t you grow it?

What Farmogerm W 7 ill Do

Unless the soil is very acid or wet,
Farmogerm will :

1. Increase the yield and quality of
legume crops, giving quicker growth
and earlier maturity.

2. Increase the food value of
legumes.

3. Make legumes grow in new locali-
ties where they cannot otherwise be
grown successfully.

4. Supply nitrates to other crops
growing with the inoculated legume
crop.

5. Enrich the soil for future crops,
thereby increasing the permanent value
of the farm. Better crops — better soil
— less fertilizer — less labor.

Increased Crops are a well-established certainty in all instances where
inoculations are used together with proper culture methods. Not only is the
crop increased in weight, but in its richness. The United States Department
of Agriculture, Bulletin No. 71, substantiates these statements. Why not
increase your farm yields without extra labor and at practically no extra cost?

Fertilizer Values of well-inoculated legumes have long been determined.
It is shown in Bulletin No. 71, issued by the United States Department of
agriculture that tests covering a large part of the country prove that legumes
will deposit 1,000 lbs. of nitrates per acre. This means that your most expen-
sive commercial fertilizer is absolutely unnecessary when you plant legumes,
perfectly inoculated, sown and planted in properly prepared land.

Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas will yield earlier, longer, and better when
treated with Farmogerm. Farmogerm is endorsed by Farmers, Federal and
State Agricultural Departments, and private estate owners and superintendents.
It is delivered to you in bottles, ready for use. You can inoculate the seed
for ten acres in ten minutes.

PRICES

5 acre bottles., 9.00. 1 acre bottles, 2.00. Garden bottles, .50.

“I have been recommended to you by the Massachusetts Agricultural
Experiment Station, Amherst, Mass., the use of your culture to inoculate the
soil for alfalfa, insteaa of soil that hasgrown alfalfa.” — R. Gillespie, Hopkin-
ton, Mass.

When ordering Farmogerm state clearly if it is required either for Alfalfa,
Garden Beans, Garden Peas, Sweet Peas, Clovers, Vetches, Soya Beans,
Cow Peas or all crops.

HOW FARMOGERM IS USED

The best way to use Farmogerm is by inoculating the
seed before planting. It comes to you ready for use, and
all you have to do is to mix the Farmogerm with a little
water and sprinkle it on the seed and mix the seed until
all are moist. Then'plant in the usual manner as soon as
possible after the seeds are dry enough to handle. Any
long delay means loss of bacteria and poorer inoculation.

The bottles of Farmogerm are intentionally only about
one-third full. Full directions for use accompany each
bottle.

CARTERS TESTED SEEDS, Inc., 102-106

While the operation of inoculating the seeds with
Farmogerm is very simple, yet a reasonable amount of
care should be taken, and the directions given should
be carefully followed to secure the best results.

If the crop has already been planted and inocula-
tion is desirable, Farmogerm may be used by diluting it
with water and mixing it with some soil taken from the
planted field, and then distributing the inoculated soil
on the field. By using soil from the planted field, all
danger of introducing weeds and plant diseases is avoided,
as by this plan new soil is not spread on the field.

TERMS OF BUSINESS.

NEW CUSTOMERS.

New Customers are requested to send cash with order or else furnish satisfactory references, and in order to save
time, those pertaining to Boston are preferred. If this is not done, we will assume that our customer wishes to pay
cash on delivery, and, in consequence, the goods will be sent C. O. D.

REMITTANCES.

Post Office Money Orders, Bank Drafts, Registered Letters, or Express Money Orders are acceptable, and we must
disclaim all responsibility when remittances are made in any other way. All cheques, etc., should be drawn in favour
of "Carters Tested Seeds Inc.”

PRICES AND TERMS.

The prices quoted in this catalogue are those prevailing at this date and are subject to change without notice. All
terms of payment are net cash.

ORDERS.

Purchasers should order early to ensure a prompt, seasonable shipment of their goods. Do not wait until
season is too far advanced; send your order in now for future shipment. All orders should be written separately
from general letters or letters of inquiry. Please write the name and address in full, also be very particular to give
the number of street or Post Office Box when goods are to be sent by mail, and when ordering goods forwarded
by express or freight always state clearly the express or freight station

DELIVERY OF GOODS.

When orders are accompanied by cash we deliver free to any Post Office, Railroad, Express Office, or Freight Sta-
tion at our expense, all vegetable and flower seed orders at the packet, ounce, quarter pound, half pound,
and pound prices, also bulbs at the single and dozen rates, except where otherwise noted. Purchasers must
pay transit on pint, quart, peck, and bushel lots, also on plants and bulbs unless otherwise noted. Tools, fertilizers,
and insecticides, etc. are all f.o.b. Boston. Note, we will, upon inquiry, advise Customers of the approximate cost
of the mailing or express charges of any special items.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

Please notify us of any change of Permanent Address, in order that we may be able to forward our Catalogues
with regularity. The favour of your kind recommendation of our House to those of your friends requiring Seeds for
the Garden or Farm, or Plants and Bulbs for the Garden or Conservatory, is respectfully solicited. We shall be
pleased, at all times, to forward our Catalogues to any address we may be favoured with.

NOTICE TO PURCHASERS.

All letters are opened under directions of one of our principals, and the orders given out under special supervision.
Bulb and plant orders are sometimes delayed by severe cold or hot weather, and they at all times take longer to
execute than seed orders in consequence of the care in counting and packing. Customers should always retain a
true copy of the order sent to us.

It is also our earnest desire that all the requirements and directions of customers be scrupulously attended to by our
assistants, and we practise the utmost personal supervision to see that they are carried out. We there-
fore respectfully request that we be informed if at any time there is cause for dissatisfaction, that we may have
it rectified at the earliest possible moment.

AS TO CORRESPONDENCE

Any proper letter of inquiry will receive our careful attention and be answered promptly, but our friends will favour
us by stating all questions clearly and briefly.

ACCIDENTS IN TRANSIT.

Glass, Pottery, and other goods liable to breakage are sent out securely packed, but beyond that we cannot be re-
sponsible for damage in transit. Notice of damage should be at once made to, and compensation claimed from the
express or freight companies which delivered the article. Never sign for goods damaged in transit.

CONDITIONS OF GUARANTEE OF QUALITY

We guarantee our Seeds and Bulbs according to the quality purchased to be of the highest average stand-
ard of vitality of the season, and it is open to the purchaser to confirm this by submitting the samples to profes-
sional analysis at his own expense. We cannot, however, be in any way responsible for the produce of seeds sold
under this guarantee, or for errors of description and it must therefore be clearly understood that our responsibility
ceases upon the final acceptance of the goods, and while we exercise the greatest care to have all seeds, bulbs, plants
and shrubs true to name, we can give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or
any other matter of seeds, bulbs, and plants we send out, and will not be held responsible for the crop. If the pur-
chaser does not accept the goods on these terms and conditions, they must be returned at once and money will
be refunded.
