The Florists' Review

DREER'S Extra SoleetaJ SWEET PEAS 



We aim to confine our list of Sweet Peas to the very best varieties and only those 

 which can be used by florists for cutting. We have added a number of the choicest 

 new varieties of the Spencer type to our list this season. 



Orchid -flowered or Spencer Sweet Peas 



This type is distinguished from the grandiflora sorts by the extraordinary size of 

 their flowers and by the standard being crinkled and wavy. They usually bear four 

 blossoms on a stem, and are as easy to grow as the commonest 

 sorts. A fair crop the past season enables us to offer them at 

 prices much lower than ever before.
