BODDINGTON'S 'SjU.UltWV SEEDS" 



Gigfantic Ofchid- Flowering Sweet Peas, or Countess of 

 Spencer Hybrids, Introductions 1909 



ASTA OHN SPENCER. This variety is lavender, suffused or 

 tinted with mauve, and will undoubtedly take its place as the best 

 lavender in the Spencer selections. Large and wavy; large wavy 

 wings also. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50c., \i.oz. 40c., oz. 75c., Va,Vo.%2.-^^. 



APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. 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 pet- 

 als are waved and crinkled to a remarkable degree with distinct 

 serrations on edges of standard. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., K 

 oz. 40 cts., oz. 75 cts., ViVa. $2.75. 



AURORA SPENCER. This is an exact counterpart, as to color, 

 of Aurora Sweet Pea, which has been so long considered the best 

 of all the striped and mottled varieties ; it differs only in size and 

 character of the flowers. The superbly beautiful flowers are of 

 really enormous size, and come uniformly of true Spencer type. 

 Both standard and wings are waved or fluted to a most pronounced 

 degree. The magnificent flowers are produced most profusely in 

 three and four, well placed on the end of long, stiff, dark green 

 stems. The ground color of the flower is a cream-white, and this 

 is exquisitely flaked and mottled with rich orange-salmon. It 

 bunches beautifully. See illustration, page 3. Pkt. 25c., 5 pkts. $1. 



BLACK KNIGHT SPENCER. Very dark bronze. Pkt. 15 cts., 

 2 pkts. 25 cts., '/^oz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts., ^ilb. $1.75.

 wings. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. gi., Vioz. 60 cts., oz. $1, ^Ib. $3.50. 



CAPTAIN OF THE BLUES SPENCER. The name adopted 

 fully describes this variety. It is even larger than Countess Spen- 

 cer and of fully as perfect form; standard purple, wings bright 

 blue. A bright striking variety, and decidedly new in Spencers. 

 Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., Moz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts.. Klb. JSi.75. 



FLORA NORTON SPENCER. This is a bright blue, with a lit- 

 tle 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. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., Koz. 40 cts., oz. 75 cts., Klb. $2.75.

 cts., 5 pkts. Si, Vioz. 60 cts., oz. fi.ji^lb. $3.50. 



KING EDWARD SPENCER. Descriptive of this sterling 

 noveltj' it should be necessary onlj' to say that it is tlie nearest 

 in approach in color to the popular King Edward VII in the 

 waved or Spencer type. The enormous flowers come almost 

 uniformly waved and crinkled to a pronounced degree. The stan- 



dard measures from i K to 2 inches across by inches deep; 

 the wings are \ Yi inches wide by iK 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. 25c., 5 pkts. $1 , "^oz. 75c. , oz. $1.35, Klb.fs. 



LOVELY SPENCER. Like its predecessor, " Lovely," this selec- 

 tion is all its name describes it. Bright pink at the throat, or rather 

 the base of both standard and wings, and shades to soft blush and 

 almost white at the edges. Of the true Spencer type, large and 

 wavy. Pkt. 15c., 2 pkts. 25c., Vzoz. 30c., oz. 50 cts., j^lb. $1.75. 



MRS. WALTER WRIGHT SPENCER. A magnificent rosy 

 mauve. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, Moz. 60 cts., oz. $1, K'b. $3 50. 



MRS. ROUTZAHN SPENCER. This variety can be described 

 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. $1, V^oz. 60 cts., oz. %\, >4 lb. $3-50- 



MRS. SANKEY SPENCER. Any one familiar with the old 

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

 Seeded White " Spencer of perfect form. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 

 cts., ^oz. 30 cts., oz. sects., Klb. $1.75. 



OTHELLO SPENCER. This beautiful new 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 

 beautifully waved or crinkled both in standard and wings. The 

 stems are thick and long and carry well either three or four fine 

 blossoms of a rich deep maroon. It is a strong grower and the 

 intensely dark colored flowers contrast well with the lighter shades 

 already introduced. Pkt. 25c., 5 pkts. $1, }^oz.6oc., oz. $1, ^Ib. fe.50. 



PRINCESS BEATRICE SPENCER. As the name implies, this 

 variety resembles in color and markings the old favorite Princess 

 Beatrice. It is fully as large as Countess Spencer, with wavy stan- 

 dard and large wings. The ground is white, tinted with soft pink 

 and buff on the standard, while each wing has a blotch of brighter 

 pink near the base. One of the most delicate and dainty varieties. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. Si, VzOz. 60 cts., oz. $1, Klb. $3.50. 



RAMONA SPENCER. Like the well-known Ramona, this va- 

 riety is clear white, with soft delicate lines and flakes of blush- 

 pink. It is of the very finest form and immense size. Both stan- 

 dard and wings are wavy, fluft'y, and it is very seldom one finds a 

 stem with less than four blossoms; delicate and beautiful. Pkt. 25 

 cts., 5 pkts. fi, Moz. 60 cts., oz. $1, MVo. $3.50. 



TENNANT SPENCER. This variety is nmch finer and larger 

 than "The ;\Iarciuis," a similar variety introduced in England last 

 season. Like its predecessor, the color is purplish mauve. Pkt. 

 25 cts.; 5 pkts. $1, Koz. 60 cts., oz. $1, \i\h. I3.50.
