Perfect Dreams of Beauty 
Because of such unusual size, often 2 inches and more across, 
waved or fluted appearance and charming blendings of harmonious 
colors, the new Spencer Type may be appropriately described as 
Truly Gigantic ‘‘Orchid-Flowered.”” The flowers are not 
only of extremely large size, but are distinct in having the outer 
edges of the standard and wings beautifully crumpled or waved, 
the tissue being so full that there is not room for it to lie flatly 
expanded or smoothly rolled. The standard is broad and tall; 
the wings are broad, well spread and held erect by the keel. 
Bolgianos Ten Superb New Spencers 
We have selected what we consider the ten best and most dis- 
tinct kinds introduced prior to 1916, which we offer below. 
They are a great improvement on the standard sorts, having 
large, round, open flowers of extraordinary size, measuring two 
inches and over across, with wavy standards and wide-spreading 
wings, a very large percentage bearing four of these immense 
blossoms to the stem, which is long and strong, making them of 
exceptional value for cutting, and are just as easy to grow as the 
standard varieties. 
1. Marie Corelli Spencer. The large flowers are brilliant 
rose carmine or red of the true Spencer form. The wings are a 
pure rich rose crimson, while the standard shows a tint of cherry- -red.

salisfied.”’
