let Spencer yet prodnced 



duces vines that are strong, short-jointed and very llorif 

 erous, bearing on stout stems, 12 to 15 inches in length, 

 three and four artistically placed flowers. When well 

 grown, the plants are note- 

 worthy in that, unlike all 

 other scarlet Spencers, 

 the stems frequently pro- 

 duce fours The flowers 

 are of perfect form. The 

 bold, erect standard is well 

 waved and fluted in true 

 Spencer style, of large 

 size, beautifully rounded 

 and finishing well below 

 the keel. The wings are 

 of the same intense pure 

 scarlet as the standard, 

 making a uniform self- 

 color throughout and ab- 

 solutely sunproof. For 

 exhibition orgarden deco- 

 ration we are confident 

 that this sterling novelty 

 will take a prominent and 

 lasting place in the es- 

 teem of all lovers.

The New Duplex Spencer. 



The "Best of All" Pink Sweet Peas for bouquets. 

 "Duplex Spencer" produces uniformly large, wavei 

 flowers of true Spencer Type. In color, both tli' 

 standard and wings are a rich cream-pink, and prac- 

 tically all the plants give flowers with double or triple 

 standards. On the sprays of four blooms each (^Df 

 which there is a great number) the two lower flow- 

 ers are double, while sometimes three of the flowers 

 are double. Of strong, 

 vigorous growth, the 

 vines bear the grand 

 flowers most profusely 

 upon long, stifT stems.

New Spencer, 

 Irish Belle, or 



Dream. ^ superbly beautiful 

 ' variety that shows 

 quite a new shade in Sweet Peas. 

 The coloring is uniform in both 

 standard and wings, a lovely rich 

 lilac, flushed with pink, which gives a very 

 distinct and soft tone throughout the entire 

 flower. Throughout the season, even during 

 the extreme heat and drought of July, the 

 flowers come invariably three and four to a stem 

 35 cts., 3 for $1. 



Pearl-Gray Spencer. Pearl-Gray is truly a descriptive 

 ■ name. It is certainly a most lovely 



and distinct shade that might be described as a pearl or dove-gray, 

 .suffused with light rose, showing a trifle more of the delicate rose 

 shading in the standard. Pkt. of 25 seeds 35 cts., 3 for $1. 



Captivation Sp encer. This is a really giant-flowered 



* * Sweet Pea of true Spencer 



type, both standard and wings being well frilled and waved. The 

 beautiful self-colored flowers are of a rich rosy wine-red throughout. 

 Pkt. of 25 seeds 35 cts., 3 for $1. 



Rainbow Spencer. The flow- 



T ers are 



of giant proportion, generally produced 

 three and four on a stem. They are nicely 

 placed, with wings coming well up in 

 front of the standard. The ground color 

 is ivory-white, flaked and lightly streaked 

 with rose. This variety originated with 

 our friends, Messrs. C. C. Morse & Co., 

 and has proved to be thoroughly fixed. 

 Pkt. of 30 seeds 35 cts., 3 for $1.
