DREER'S SELECT LIST OF SWEET PEAS. 



There is at presem in commerce over 150 varieties of Sweet 

 Peas — entirely too many — and it would be next to impossible 

 for anyone but an expert to select out of this vast number a 

 selection that would contain nothing but varieties combining^ 

 the liighest development in size, form, color and growth. 



After exhaustive trials we have reduced the list to about 50 

 varieties, and feel safe in saying that there is not a single one 

 offered below which does not belong in a first-class collection^ 

 If you miss some old favorite in the list, it has been left out 

 because its place has been taken by an improved variety, and 

 you will be perfectly safe in ordering one of a corresponding 

 color. 



Culture. The seed should be sown as early as the ground 



can be ivoiked in the spring, to enable the vines to get a 



good, strong growth before the warm weather comes. 



-J. White-seeded varieties should not be sown until the ground 



_r? is dry or about 10 days later than the black-seeded sorts. 



As the flowers come into full bloom or fade, they should be 



cut off, for if the pods are allovi-ed to form the plants will 



stop blooming. Full instructions for planting will be found in the 



book "Air About Sweet Peas" (Hutchins), price 20 cents, post|iaid.
