SWEET PEAS, SPENCER HYBRIDS. 



Giant Orchid Flowering Type. 



In this we have a new class of Sweet Peas which has attracted much attention. 

 Flowers of enormous size, with both standards and wings waved and fiuted, while the 

 flowers are loosely and gracefully set on the stems; plants healthy and vigorous, and pro- 

 duce strong-stemmed flowers of great substance. The perfect-formed blossoms often 

 measure two inches across. (Illustrated on back cover of catalogue.) (I trust that all 

 Sweet Pea lovers will plant a few at least of the beautiful Spencer type.) 



Asta Ohn Spencer. 



This is the first lavender of the true Spencer type. The flowers are very large, waved 

 and fluted in standard, with large, thoroughly waved wings. The stems are long and 

 sturdy, each stem bears four flowers. The color throughout is a soft lavender, suffused 

 with mauve. It comes absolutely true. Pkt., 40 seeds, 10 ets.; oz., 35 cts[ 



White Spencer. 



Flowers absolutely pure white, standards waved, crinkled and fluted; 3 to 4 blossoms 

 to a stem; stems 12 to 15 inches in length. Pkt., 80 seeds, 10 ets.; oz., 15 cts. 



King Edward Spencer. 



This grand Novelty is the nearest approach in color to the popular King Edward YII 

 in the Spencer type. The enormous flowers are frilled, waved and crinkled. The unusually 

 large wings make the flowers appear truly gigantic in size. The standard is deep rich 

 carmine-scarlet of glossy effect. The wings are also carmine scarlet and on the reverse 

 side are of a deep rosy carmine. The stems are twelve to fifteen inches long and fre- 

 quently carry four fine blooms, while the majority bear three flowers. The stems are 

 thick and heavy, the vines vigorous and thrifty. Pkt., 40 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts. 



Othello Spencer. 



This beautiful Sweet Pea of the true Spencer type will appeal to those having a 

 preference for the darker colors. The flowers come uniformly true to type, being beauti- 

 fully waved or crinkled both in standard and wings. The stems are thick and long and 

 cany three or four fine blooms of a rich deep maroon. Pkt., 40 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 



Dainty Spencer. 



The stems are very long and usually carry four fine large waved flowers each. It is a 

 most beautiful pink-edged variety; the ground color is pure white, with a very distinct 

 margin of rose-pink. Pkt., 40 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 



Mrs. Routzahn. 



Buff or apricot ground, flushed and suffused with delicate pink, deepening toward the 

 edges of the standard and wings. The flowers are of the largest size, — thoroughly crimped 

 and waved. The standard is broad and deep. The long stems seldom carry less than 

 three flowers, while many bear four flowers to a spray. 



Per Pkt., 40 seeds, 10 cts.; per oz., 20 cts. 



Helen Lewis. 



The orange-rose wings roll and fold; the standard is reflexed, showing the distinctly 

 fluted effect, and is of an intense rich crimson-orange. The blooms are truly a gigantic- 

 size, — the ruffled standard measuring two inches across. 



Per Pkt., 50 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts. 



Menie Christie Spencer. 



This is a most beautiful and distinct new variety of the Spencer type. Both the large 

 fluted standard and wavy wings are of the same color, a lovely ruby-rose with a slightly 

 deeper shade in the standard. The grand large flowers present a most striking color effect, 

 with a wonderful satiny sheen on the petals. Pkt., 50 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts. 



Countess Spencer. True. 



The color is a soft rose-pink, which deepens at the outer edges and becomes still 

 ic'eher or more heavily suffused in cool weather. In size, form, and coloring, Countess 

 Spencer is simply exquisite. The plant is a stronar vigorous grower, and the large flowers 

 are borne three and four upon long, stiff stems. Pkt., 50 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts. 



SWEET PEAS, Countess Spencer Hybrids, The New Orchid-Flowering Sweet Pea — The 



flower stems are unusually long and the flowers are so set on the stem that there is a 

 graceful fluffiness to a bunch of them in d'stinct contrast to the ordinary kinds of 

 Sweet Peas. Mixed colors. Pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.
