GIANT ORCHID=FLOWERED SWEET PEAS. 



COUNTESS SPENCER 

 HYBRIDS. 



THIS recently introduced class is of high merit. The plants are healthy and vigorous, producing in greatest abundance flowers of 

 truly gigantic size, measuring when well grown from 1 J2 to 2 inches across the standard. The latter is round, full and gracefully 

 waved; it stands boldlv upright, a tj'pical "look you in the face" flower. Usually three and often four of these large beautifully formed 

 flowers are borne on their long strong stems, rendering them of exceptional value when cut, for vasing, etc. 



The original Countess Spencer was the first Sweet Pea known to have a slightly open keel, thus facilitating natural hybridization. 

 This characteristic causes all varieties of this blood to sport somewhat.
