"Twelve Best" Orchid=flowered 



SWEET PEA5. 



We offer on page 109 Iwenty-tliree beautiful and de- 

 sirable vaiielies of this, the finest type of Sweet Peas; 

 but as many planters do not care for so many sorts, we 

 have selected what we consider the twelve best and most 

 distinct kinds introduced prior to 1913, which we offer 

 below. 



They are a great improvement on the standard sorts, 

 having large, round, open flowers of extraordinary size, 

 measuring two inches and over across, with wavy stand- 

 aids and wide-spreading wings, a very large percentage 

 bearing four of these immense blossoms to the stem, 

 which is long and strong, making them of exceptional 

 value for cutting, and are just as easy to grow as the 

 standard varieties.
