 wavy and beautiful. Pkt. 25 cts. 5 for $1.

 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. It is a grand flower and fitting companion to 

 the other Spencer Hybrids. Pkt. 25 cts. 5 for $1.

The "New Orchid-flowering Sweet Peas, "'Countess of Spencer Hybrids 



In these we have a new distinct type and form in Sweet Peas. The flower-stems are unusually long 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 of Sweet Peas. So far but few colors 

 have developed in this type, and some of these sport or change more or less in flowering. The wings and standards of the flowers are very 

 large, and its graceful form, with the immense size, make it certain to supersede all older kinds of Sweet Peas, as fast as standard colors 

 appear and become fixed. The Spencer Hybrids are all marked with a star ('■').
