Dreer's Twelve "Incomparable" 



ORCHID-FLOWERED SWEET PEAS 



Of the hundreds of Orchid-flowered or Spencer Sweet Peas introduced in the last few 

 years, we offer this season thirty-seven of what we consider the very choicest and most 

 distinct varieties, and while we fully recommend aU of the sorts described and offered on 

 page 113, as well as the newer kinds on page 59, yet most of our 

 customers only wish a limited number of sorts, but want these to 

 be the very best, and it is with this in mind that we offer this collection 

 of Twelve Incomparable sorts described below, 

 each one of which is a leader in its respective color, 

 and sure to give entire satisfaction. 



4074 Blanche Ferry Spencer. This is an extra 

 fine, large wavy-flowered stock of the popular 

 pink and white Blanche Ferry. A good strong 

 grower and very free-flowering. 



4095 Debbie's Cream. An extra selected strain 

 and the finest primrose-yellow yet introduced; 

 splendid in every way with very large, wavy 

 flowers. 



4108 Elfrida Pearson. This is by far the largest 

 and finest light pink variety. Flowers of enormous 

 size and very wavy; a strong, vigorous grower, 

 bearing its giant flowers on long, strong stems. 



4117 Florence Nightingale. Nothing yet introduced in lavender 

 Sweet Peas excels this beautiful sort, and it is one of the most 

 popular. 



4127 Hercules. This has superseded the old Countess Spencer, 

 being the same color, a lively rose pink, but larger in size, a 

 strong, vigorous grower, and very free flowering. 



4146 King Mauve. An attractive color being a rich deep 

 mauve, quite distinct from any other variety- 



4147 King White. The largest, finest and purest white 

 seeded variety.

 in declaring this to be the finest rich pink Sweet Pea, 

 the color being a rich apricot-pink on a cream ground. 

 The "Spencer Supreme," a very strong grower. 



4198 Royal Purple. The rich royal purple color of this 

 beautiful variety always attracts great attention. One 

 of the most distinct.

 variety is the finest brilliant scarlet yet sent out, surpassing all 

 others of this color in size, form and general excellence.

large wavy flowers of great substance. Extra fine.
