Orchid-flowehed Sweet Peas Countess Spencer 



DREER'S SUPERB 



Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas 



The best of the old-fashioned or grandiflora varieties are now 

 quite overshadowed by this wonderful type, whiqh are quite distinct, 

 having large, round open flowers of extraordinary size, usually 

 measuring two inclies across, with wavy standards and wide-spread- 

 ing 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. All the sorts offered below have 

 been thoroughly tested and are just as easy to grow as the grand- 

 diflora varieties. For list of the latest introductions, see Novelties 

 and Specialties, pages 52 to 62.
