EARLY FLOWERING ORCHID OR 

 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



This new type is receiving great attention at the hands of the lead- 

 ing hybridizers, and already nearly all colors are represented. They 

 are now very popular, and in great demand by commercial florists 

 for forcing under glass for Winter and early Spring blooming, but 

 are just as valuable for the amateur for outdoor culture, coming into / 

 flower five or six weeks earlier than the regular orchid-flowered type, 

 and if the flowers are kept picked, continue to bloom over a period i 

 of nearly four months. We offer the following carefully selected 

 varieties. We also offer with other Specialties on pages 52 to 62 a 

 number of the latest introductions of this valuable type.
