Blue and Purple 



*CAPTAIN OF THE BLUES SPENCER. The name we have

 Countess Spencer and of fully as perfect form ; standard purple ;

 Spencers. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., oz. 50 cts., Klb. $1 75.

 and of fine form, borne three on a stem and all facing one way. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vi\h. 25 cts. , lb. 75 cts. 



»FLORA NORTON SPENCER. This is a 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. 

 It is a grand flower and fitting companion to the other Spencer 

 Hybrids. Pkt. 20 cts., oz. 75 cts., M'lb. $2.75.

 grower of Sweet Pea seed in the world. Older varieties have been superseded by all the foregoing, and customers ordering Sweet Pea 

 seed should kindly give us permission to substitute for any variety not catalogued, or, if necessary, we will use our utmost endeavor to 

 procure the variety ordered. 



The "New Orchid-flowering Sweet Pea, '^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 inany colors 

 have developed in this grand type, 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 (*).
