SWEET PEAS, SPENCER. HYBRIDS. 
Giant Orchid Flowering Type. 
In this we have a new class of Sweet Peas which has attracted much attention. 
Flowers of enormous size, with both standards and wings waved and fluted, while the 
flowers are loosely and gracefully set on the stems; plants healthy and vigorous, and pro- 
duce strong-stemmed flowers of great substance. The perfect-formed blossoms often 
measure two inches across. (Illustrated on back cover of catalogue.) (I trust that all 
Sweet Pea lovers will plant a few at least of the beautiful Spencer type.)

in the Spencer type. The enormous flowers are frilled, waved and crinkled. The unusually 
large wings make the flowers appear truly gigantic in size. The standard is deep rich 
carmine-scarlet of glossy effect. The wings are also carmine scarlet and on the reverse 
side are of a deep rosy carmine. The stems are twelve to fifteen inches long and fre- 
quently carry four fine blooms, while the majority bear three flowers. The stems arc
