Dreer’s ‘‘Incomparable’”’ 
Early-Flowering 
Orchid or Spencer 
SWEET PEAS o 
For the Greenhouse and Early Outdoor Beds 
These Early or Winter Flowering Sweet Peas are of the true 
Orchid or Spencer type. They have beautiful, large, well formed 
blooms carried in threes or fours on elegant long stems. They were 
primarily developed for florists to be grown in the greenhouse dur- 
ing the winter where the summer flowering varieties refuse to 
bloom satisfactory. Our list has been made up with the utmost 
care, and though not long it includes all the finest varieties in 
existence. Besides growing them in the greenhouse they have 
proved exceptionally valuable in our own southern states and other 
countries with a sub-tropical climate. If sown there in September 
they will bloom by Christmas. The northern home gardener will 
find them valuable to secure Sweet Pea flowers a week or two 
ahead of the summer-flowering varieties by sowing the seed early 
in the spring as soon as the ground can be prepared thoroughly. 
It is well to remember that the seeds of the white-seeded varieties 
are somewhat more delicate and for that reason they always should 
be sown in a layer of sand that is placed in the planting furrow.
