DREER'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS. 



NEW DWARF SWEET PEA, "CUPID." 



€813 This variety which was offered for the fust time last Spring 

 is an entirely new departure in this popular flower. It grows 

 only 5 inches high, spreading out from the roots so as to 

 meet when the seed is planted 2 feet apart in rows. The 

 foliage is of a deep cypress green, flowers purest white, and 

 produced in such abundance as to completely cover the 

 plant ; it is sure to become popular for borders, and is 

 splendidly adapted for pot culture. Considerable trouble 

 was experienced in germinating it last season, but we have 

 every reason to believe that it will be much stronger this 

 year. The sowing which we made in our experimental 

 grounds about the middle of April, at which time the ground 

 was dry and warm, germinated very satisfactorily ; we would 

 therefore advise that sowings be delayed until the ground is 

 in that condition. (See cut.) 10 cts. per packet. 



DOUBLE SWEET PEAS. 



In some of the varieties the process of selection has resulted 

 in the production of double flowers, but this character has been 

 hard to fix, the tendency being to revert to the original type; 

 but after several years of patient work we feel that the varieties 

 here offered will under favorable conditions produce a very large 

 percentage of double flowers. Double Sweet Peas have much 

 to commend them, the flowers being beautifully crimped and 

 waved with none of the stiffness usual to double flowers.
