or Countess of Spencer Hybrids 



Asta Ohn Spencer. Novelty, '09. This variety 



^ IS lavender, suffused or 



tinted vvitli mauve, and will undoubtedly take its place as 

 the best lavender in the Spencer selections. It is larj<e 

 and wavy and has large wavy wings also. Pkt. 25 cts., 

 5 pkts. $1. 



Apple Blossom Spencer <^«T««'^':. ^"^ 



* * elty, 09. This is a 



reproduction of the long-time popular Apple 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. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 



Novelty, 

 '09. The 



name adopted fully describes this variety. It is even larger 

 than Countess Spencer and of fully as perfect form ; stan- 

 dard purple, wings bright blue. A bright striking variety, 

 and decidedly new in Spencers. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 



Flora Norton Spencer. J!;''?^?!*^; This is a 



f bright blue, with a 



little tint of purple, perhaps a little more than the original 

 Flora Norton. It is much larger, however, and has the 

 wavy standard and wings of the true Spencers. The 

 standard is rather heavier and more sturdy than usual in 

 Spencer and it stands out bolder. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 



Novelty, 

 '09. Descriptive of this 

 sterling novelty it should be necessary only to say that it is 

 the nearest in approach in color to the popular King 

 Edward VII in the waved or Spencer tj'pe. The enormous 

 flowers came almost uniformly waved and crinkled to a 

 pronounced degree. The standard measures from to 2 

 inches across by iM inches deep; the wings are \ Y% inches 

 wide by iVi inches long. The unusually large wings make 

 the flowers appear truly gigantic in size. The standard 

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

 are also carmine scarlet and on the reverse side are of a 

 deep rosy carmine. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 



Novelty, '09. Like its predeces- 

 sor, " Lovely," this selection is 

 all its name describes it. The color is bright pink at the 

 throat, or rather the base of both standard and wings, and 

 shades to soft blush anrl almost white at the edges. Of the 

 true Spencer type, large and wavy. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 



Novelty, '09. This 

 variety can be de- 

 scribed as Florence Morse Spencer on primrose ground. 

 The blending shades are soft rose and buff and primrose, 

 with a decided rose edge. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. Si. 



"Mrs. Sankey Spencer. N"vdty, '09 Any one 



— familiar with the old 



favorite, Mrs. Sankey, will at once recognize this as a 

 "Black-Seeded While" Spencer of perfect form. Pkt. 

 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 



Princess Beatrice Spencer. Novelty, 09. As 



" the name implies, 



this variety resembles in color and markings the old 

 favorite Princess Beatrice. It is fullv as large as C'ountess 

 Spencer, with wavy standard and large wings. The ground 



is white, tinted with soft pink and buff on the standard, wliile each wing has a blotch 

 of brighter pink near the base. One of the mcst delicate and dainty varieties we liave

1 white, with soft delicate lines and flakes of blush i)inki It is of 



the very liiu si lorm and immense size. Both standard and wings are wavy, fhiffy and it is 

 very seldom one finds a stem with less than four blos.soms, all beautifully poised'; delicate 

 and beautiful. I'kt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.
