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 wtiile we fully recommend all of the sorts described and 

 offered on page 112, 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 satis- 

 faction. 



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.

 strain and the finest primrose-yellow yet 

 introduced; splendid in every way with 

 very large, wavy flowers.

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.

lavender Sweet Peas excels this beautiful sort, and it is 



one of the most popular.

Spencer, a lively rose pink, but larger in size, a
