DREER'S SUPERB 



Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas 



The old-fashioned grandiflora varieties are now superseded by this 

 wonderful type, which are quite distinct, having large, round open flowers 

 of extraordinary size, usually measuring two inches across, with wavy 

 standards 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. Our list has been carefully revised 

 and contains nothing but sorts of the highest merit. For list of the latest 

 introductions, see Novelties and Specialties, pages 52 to 62. 

 4064 Austin Frederick. A lovely soft lavender, 



flowers of giant size and perfect form, nicely 



waved. 

 4071 Barbara. Beautiful rich orange-salmon. A 



most brilliant color and makes a very effective 



bunch. 

 4074 Blanche Ferry Spencer. Identical in color 



to the popular pink and white Blanche Ferry; 



immense wavy flowers. 



4084 Constance Hinton. The finest and largest 

 white variety of strong, vigorous growth, with 

 enormous wavy white flowers, frequently 2\ 

 inches across, borne in sprays of fours, and often 

 fives, on long, strong stems. This variety is 

 black seeded, which means that it is easy to 

 germinate. 



4085 Colne Valley. Lavender blue, very large 

 flowers; strong vigorous grower. 



4081 Charming. Flowers of largest size and perfect form, of 



a brilliant cerise that is most attractive. 

 4083 Commander Godsall. Very rich deep violet blue; a 



rather unusual tone. 

 4108 Elfrida Pearson. The finest and largest blush pink. 

 4119 George Shawyer. Superb beautifully waved flowers of giant 



size, in color a rich salmony-rose or orange-pink. 



Hawlmark Cerise. A grand, very large flowering sort of a rich 



rose-cerise on a creamy ground, a striking color. 



Hawlmark Pink. Quite distinct from any other pink variety, 



the general effect being rose-pink suffused with salmon, undoubtedly 



one of the most beautiful pink Sweet Peas. 



Hercules. Almost identical in color to Countess Spencer which 



it has now superseded — a lively rose-pink, but larger in size. 



King Edward Spencer. Bright crimson-scarlet of largest size. 



A fine variety. 



King Mauve. A distinct and attractive rich deep mauve 



King White. The finest white-seeded pure white. 

 4153 Magnet. Bright cream pink. 

 4152 Matchless. This is considered the best of the creamy-yellow 



sorts. Flowers of largest size, nicely frilled and waved, a strong, 



sturdy grower. 

 4185 Picture. The gigantic blooms are borne freely in sprays of four 



or more on long stout stems, in color a most attractive tint of 



pink suffused with creamy apricot. 

 4192 Renown. A recent English introduction bearing extra large 



flowers of a rich rosy-carmine or crimson-rose, a very effective color. 



4198 Royal Purplo. Rich royal purple. One of the finest and most 

 distinct varieties. 



4199 Royal Saluto. One of the most brilliantly colored varieties, a 

 dazzling scarlet-cerise, flowers of largest size, perfect form, nicely 

 waved, a good thrifty grower. 



4211 The Cardinal, Intense poppy-scarlet; very large wavy flowers. 

 4221 Warrior. Enormous flowers of a rich reddish bronzy maroon, the 



finest of this color yet introduced. 

 4223 Wembley. Lovely soft lavender. 

 4215 Youth. A beautiful, free-flowering picotee variety, the pure white 



standards and wings are distinctly edged with deep pink, very pretty.
