With the exception of our King

 ::,iencers, we regard these four new 

 S ;)encers after careful inspection of the

 I ST TO TYPE at time of Introduction of 

 any new Spencers that have originated 

 in America, and unsurpassed In fixity of 

 character by any English novelties yet 

 obtained. We feel sure that they will give complete 

 satisfaction to amateurs and Sweet Pea specialists, 

 both in England and America.

 flowera are briliiant rose-carmine or red and uniformly of true 

 Spencer form. TliR wings are a pure, rich rose-crlm-on while the 

 staudard ibows a tint of cherry-red The whole efTcCt is that of a 

 iifilliant criin>«>n— clear, distinct and mof>t beautiful. The standard 

 is large rr>u dad wavy: the wingn are full and inclined to remain 

 boldly outright Insteitd of drooping. The !< ng, strong stems 

 usually bear lour flowers each. The plant is of strong growth and 

 very free flowering.

 less nature, li in all resoects similar to the original Countess 

 Spenier. Its novelty Is its color— a glowing but soft apricot, 

 tinted shaded and sufTusfd with lemon. It shows a little variation 

 perhaps with a tint ol salmon, deeper by a trifle on the 

 back of standard, but is nracticaily a self color. It is a 

 color diflk-ult to describe and m ght be said to approach a 

 terra c tta tint, especially so as it harmoniies so beauti- 

 fully with golden brown.

 true Spencer form— WHvy edges on both standard and 

 wings— Urge, round fluflfy standard 1 >ng drooping wings.
