DREER'S 



"Twelve Best" Orchid=flowered 



SWEET PEAS. 



We offer on page 109 twenty-three beautiful and de- 

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

 but as many plai ters 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 cf extraordinary size, 

 measuring two inches and over across, with wavy stand- 

 ards 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.
