NEW ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
Or Countess of Spencer Hybrids 
(See pages 41 and 42 for other Sweet Peas) 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
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. It is large and wavy and has 
large wavy wings also. Pkt. io cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. This is a reproduction of the 
long-time popular Apple Blossom Sweet Peas, but of enlarged size 
and the true Spencer type. The form is most beautiful ; the petals 
are waved and crinkled to a remarkable degree with distinct serra¬ 
tions on edges of standard. Pkt. 10 cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
CAPTAIN OF THE ELUES SPENCER. The name adopted 
fully describes this variety. It is even larger than Countess Spencer 
and of fully as perfect form ; standard purple, wings bright blue. A 
bright striking variety, and decidedly new in Spencers. Pkt. 10 cts., 
5 pkts. 40 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. Pkt. 10 cts., 
5 pkts. 40 cts. 
KING EDWARD SPENCER. Novelty, ’09. Descriptive of this 
sterling novelty it should be necessary only to say that it is the 
nearest in approach in color to the popular King Edward VII in the 
waved or Spencer type. The enormous flowers come almost uni¬ 
formly waved and crinkled to a pronounced degree. The standard 
measures from 1to 2 inches across by 1 % inches deep ; the wings 
are 1 Y% inches wide by 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 car¬ 
mine-scarlet and on the reverse side are of a deep rosy carmine. 
Pkt. 10 cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
LOVELY SPENCER. Like, its predecessor, “Lovely,” this selec¬ 
tion is all its name describes it. The color is 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. 10 cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
This variety can be described as Florence 
MRS. ROUTZAHN SPENCER. 
Morse Spencer on primrose ground. The blending shades are soft rose and 
buff and primrose, with a decided rose edge. Pkt. 10 cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
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. 10 cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
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 standard 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 we have. Pkt. 10 cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
MAUD HOLMES. A new sun-proof crimson Spencer, one of the finest novel¬ 
ties of recent introduction ; flow ers are of largest size, three or four to a spray, 
carried on long stems, color brilliant crimson, and blooms are of the true 
Spencer type. The variety will not burn in the sun and is of vigorous and 
strong growth. Pkt. ro cts., 5 pkts. 40 cts. 
Royal Purple Aster 
SCARLET SAGE 
Scarlet Sage (Salvia)

boxes or frames in March and set the plants out the latter part of May. Pkt. 10c.

instead of branching out from the main stern at various heights as in the branch¬ 
ing varieties. Season medium to late. Pkt. 10 cts., X oz * 4 ° cts -> oz * $1.50.
