New Orchid Flowering Sweet Peas, Countess of Spencer Hybrids 



This new type of which Countess Spencer was the forerunner, is distinguished by its vigorous growth and by the size 

 of the flowers, which have a diameter of two inches under favorable conditions. In addition the long stemmed flowers 

 have wavy or fluted petals. In some of the Spencer varieties this fluting is very pronounced, a very large percentage 

 bearing four immense blossoms to the stem, making them of exceptional value for cutting, and the flowers are so arranged 

 on the stem that there is a graceful fluffiness to a bunch of them in distinct contrast to the ordinary kinds. The intro- 

 duction of this tjrpe has created n=w mterest, and added to the popularity of Sweet Peas. 



APPLEBLOSSO.M.(SPENXER;— This is a reproduction of the long- 

 time popular .-V-pple Blossom Sweet Pea, but of enlarged size and the 

 true Spencer type. The form is most beautiful; the petals are 

 waved and crinkled to a remarkable degree with distinct serrations 

 on edges of standard. The flowers are most beautiful and bunch well. 

 Like the original Apple Blossom, some flowers are deeper in color 

 than others on the same vine. The vine is thrift j" and the large 

 handsome flowers are produced on long stems. Pkt. 8c. 



COUNTESS OF SPENCER — Bright, clear pink, showing a little deeper 

 at the edge. The form is open and the margins of the petals are 

 wavy. Standard and wings very large, blossoms measuring 2 in- 

 ches across. Pkt. 8c. 



E. J. CASTLE (Unwin type) — The color is a rich carmine-rose with salmon 

 shading in the standard. This rich color with the bold wavy stand- 

 ard of the Unwin type makes a most striking effect, especially in 

 artificial light. Pkt. 6c. 



GLADYS UNWIN— One of the finest pink Sweet Peas. A striking and 

 sterUng varietj-. quite fixed and distinct and a great acquisition; 

 has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very strik- 

 ing upright crinkled or wavy standard and broad wings; pale rosy 

 pink. Pkt. 5c. 



JOHN INQ.MAN (Unwin type) — Standards large, rich salmon-rose, with 

 the wavy appearance of the true Countess Spencer; wings rose. A 

 grand flower, large and of good substance. Pkt. 8c. 



JOSEPHINE BARNARD (SPENCER) — A grand large flower. Both the 



large fluted standard and wavy wings are of the same color, a lovely 

 self-colored deep rose tint. Pkt. 6c. 



KING EDWARD, (SPENCER) — This is the nearest approach in color to 

 the popular King Edward VII in the waved or Spencer type. The 

 standard is a deep rich carmine-scarlet of glossy eflect. The wings 

 are also carmine-scarlet and on the reverse side are of a deep rosy 

 carmine The stems are 12 to 15 inches long and frequently carry 

 four fine blooms, while the majority bear three flowers. Pkt. lOc. 



MRS. JOS. CHAMBERLAIN (SPENCER)— This is a decided acquisition 

 to the Spencer type. Fine, bold flowers of the very largest size, 

 beautifully waved, 3 to 4 flowers on a stem, heavily flaked and 

 spiashed with a bright rose on a white ground. A striking variety. 

 Pkt. 6c. ■ - ■ 



MRS. ROUTZAHN (SPENCER)— This variety can be described as 

 F'.orence Morse Spencer on apricot ground. The blending shades 

 are soft rose and buff and primrose with a decided rose edge. Pkt. 10c. 



NOR.\ UNWIN — Especially takes its place easily in the front rank 

 of whiles. This variety has the same bold w&yy standard as 

 Gladys Unwin. Like all the progeny of Gladys, Unwin, it is true 

 to name and does not sport. Pkt. 6c. ' 



PHYLLIS UN\\1N — The flowers are larger in size than the original 

 "Gladys Unwin" and similarly crinkled wavy standard with broad 

 wings. The long stout stems carry three and four flowers each; of a 

 beautiful rose color throughout. ' Comes perfectly true from seed. 

 Pkt 6c. 



PRINCESS ALICE (SPENCER)— .A lovely shade of lavender, possessing 

 every characteristic of the true Spencer. Extra large, wavy flowers, 

 three to four to the stem. Strong, -vigorous grower, very long stems, 

 a mass of bloom. The least sportive and best of its color vet intro- 

 duced. Pkt. Sc. 



PRINCESS \TCTORIA (SPENCER)-This beautiful wa^-y new "Spencer" 

 was named for the Princess Victoria by royal request. It might be 

 described briefly as a lighter pink Countess' Spencer. Of most beau- 

 tiful form and large size. Received a certificate from the Roj'al 

 Horticultural Society and also the National Sweet Pea Sorietv. 

 Pkt. 8c. 



WHITE SPENCER — Produces in the greate-st profusion flowers of 

 enormous size that are absolutely pure white. It is true to tlie 

 Countess Spencer type. The standard is decidedly waved, crinkled 

 and fluted. The standard measures from 1^ to 2" inches across by 

 If to If inchesin depth. The wings are fully an inch wide and nearly 

 as deep as th^ standard. The flowers are borne three and four to 

 the stem and are uniformly well placed. The stems are extra strong,
