DREER'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS. 



NEW AND STANOARD VARIETIES. 



It is unnecessan- to say much about these lovely fragrant flowers, their 

 universal favoritism being well established. When cut for filling vases, the 

 bloom will last for days, and the distinct colors are very beautiful. The seed 

 should be sown as early as the ground can be worked in the spring, to enable 

 the vines to get a good strong growth before the warm weather comes. Pre- 

 pare the ground by thoroughly working in a large quantity of well-rotted 

 manure. Make a trench six inches deep ; in this sow the seed and cover 

 two inches deep. As soon as the plants begin to show through, fill in the 

 ich. This will secure a deep planting without the bad effect of deep covering of the 

 at fiist, and so enable the plant to bloom continually through the heat of summer, 

 fast as the flowers come into full bloom or fade, they should be cut off, for if the 

 aie allowed to form, the plants will stop blooming. .Seed may also be sown with 

 advantage late in the autumn. One of our customers writes us under date of Au- 

 12: "I have been this whole season under obligations to you for advising me to 

 lant Sweet Pea seeds last autumn. The seed was planted in November in rows with 

 a southerly exposure ; they were then well covered with litter protection, and finally 

 brush, sufficient to prevent the litter from blowing away. In the spring the litter was 

 removed, the plants staked, and by the middle of April they were in bloom, and I have 

 had flowers ever since, and at times the display exceeded that of any other collection 

 of Sweet Peas I have ever seen." 



6S14 Miss Blanche Ferry [A'elHe Jaymes). Beautiful pink and" 

 white, vei-y fragrant. Its dwarfness, hardiness and early flowering 

 habit make it extremely desirable for both out and indoor planting. . . .50
