NOVELTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS. 



SWEET PEA Extra Early , BLANCHE FERRY. 



The Earliest Sweet Pea. 



6802. Five years of constant care has been devoted to the develop- 

 ment of this new variety, and we now have a Sweet Pea that is at 

 least two weeks earlier than other sorts and remaining 

 in flower as late in the season as any. Of dwarf sturdy habit, it re- 

 quires little brushing, even growing well without sup- 

 port. It is a most profuse bloomer, bearing its lovely 

 pink and white flowers on strong stems ; for growing 

 under glass it has no equal, and for outdoors will give 

 an abundance of flowers both earlkr and for a longer 

 period than any other variety. (See cut.) 

 Per pkt. 10 cts., per ounce 40 cts.

 ^^KATHERINE TRACY. 



6841. Of American origin and posses- 

 (Sf / sing all the good qualities of oilier Ameri- 

 ^^ jfe\ can sorts, being a robust grower, early and 

 profuse bloomer, with bold expanded 

 flowers of splendid substance borne on 

 long strong stems. The color is a soft yet 

 brilliant pink, precisely the same shade in 

 wings and standard, and unlike other pinks retains its brilliancy 

 to the last; each-stem has from three to four blossoms so grace- 

 fully poised that they form, when cut, exquisite bouquets sure of 

 admiration wherever seen. 



Per pkt. 10 cts., per ounce 40 cts. 



New Sky = blue Sweet Pea, 

 CELESTIAL. 



6821. This variety adds a new, valuable and constant color to 

 Sweet Teas. The flowers, which are of largest size, are of a beauti- 

 ful ferial hhie. The freshness and purity of this hue are 

 especially charming. In the sunlight they seem to be suffused with a 

 faint blush. Anyone seeing a bunch would immediately realize how 

 admirably their name " Celestial " describes their loveliness. For 

 cutting, this novelty will be found very valuable.

Sweet Pea Extra Early, Blanxhe Ferry. 



DREER'S "INCOMPARABLE" COLLECTION OF 



SWEET PEAS. 



Considering the perfection to which the Sweet Pea has been brought in recent years, we do not wonder at the immense 

 popularity which they now enjoy. Even the old sorts with their small flowers and dull colors could be found in nearly every 

 garden, and now with large flowering sorts of brightest and newest shades of coloring, bearing 3 to 6 flowers on a stem, laden 

 with sweetest perfume, the wonder is that any garden should be without them. 



New varieties have multiplied so rapidly in the past few years that there are now over one hundred, sorts. For the 

 majority of amateurs and others to attempt to select from this great number, a collection which will be the finest in point of 

 size, color and texture of flower, as well as the strongest growing and free-flowering, would be a difficult task, a,nd it is for such 

 that we offer our " Incomparable " Collection ; the varieties have been selected sj>ecially for us by the 

 eminent Sweet Pea authority, Rev. W. T. Hutchins, who states that the varieties contained in this collec- 

 tion are the "Aristocrats among all Sweet Peas, and represent the very finest in each color to date.''
