DREER'S FLOWER SEEDS FOR SUMMER SOWING 



19 



EARLY-FLOWERING ORCHID OR 

 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



This new type is receiving great attention at the hands of the 

 leading hybridizers, and already nearly all colors are represented. 

 They are now very popular, and in great demand by commercial 

 florists for forcing under glass for Winter and early Spring blooming, 

 but are just as valuable for the amateur for outdoor culture, especially 

 in the southern states, coming into flower five or six weeks earlier than 

 the regular orchid-flowered type, and if the flowers are kept picked, 

 continue to bloom over a period of nearly four months.
