other Spencers. The blooms are equally as large, are beautifully 
waved and are borne on long stems. They are especially well 
adapted for outdoor planting in the South as well as for green¬ 
house culture. We have had spring plantings bloom earlier than 
fall plantings of other kinds, yielding plenty of blooms before 
hot weather arrives.-
