Dreer's Twelve "Incomparable" 



ORCHID-FLOWERED SWEET PEAS 



Of the hundreds of Orchid-fJowered 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 all of the sorts described and 



offered on page 1 13, as well as the newer kinds on page 60, yet most 



of our customers only wish a limited number of sorts, and with this 



in mind 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. 



4064 Austin Frederick. A lovely soft lavender, 

 flowers of giant size and perfect form, nicely 

 waved. 



4074 Blanche Ferry Spencer. This is an extra 

 fine, large wavy-fiowered stock of the popular 

 pink and white Blanche Ferry. A good strong 

 grower and very free-flowering. 



4084 Constance Hinton. The finest and largest 

 white variety of strong, vigorous growth, with 

 enormous wavy white flowers, frequently 2 1 

 inches across, borne in sprays of fours, and often 

 fives, on long, strong stems. This variety is 

 black seeded, which means that it is easy to 

 germinate. 



4108 Elfrida Pearson. This is the largest and finest blush 

 pink variety. Flowers of enormous size and very 

 wavy; a strong, vigorous grower, bearing its giant flow- 

 ers on long, strong stems. 



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 This has superseded the old Countess 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. 



4152 Matchless. This is considered the best cream yellow 

 variety, flowers of largest size and prettily frilled. 



4185 Picture. The largest flowering of all, the gigantic 

 blooms are borne freely in sprays of four or more on long 

 stout stems, in color a most attractive tint of pink 

 suffused with creamy apricot, one of the outstanding 

 recent introductions.

 color. Very distinct and effective.
