Dreer's Extra Selected Early Orchid Forcing Sweet Peas 



1933-34 EARLY FLOWERING SWEET PEA NOVELTIES 



EXPOSITION PINK 



(Named in Honor of 

 "A Century of Progress" Exposition 

 in Chicago) 

 EXPOSITION PINK can best be described as a 

 gorgeous rich pink, rather resembling the color of 

 the well known Ivy Leaf Geranium "Charles 

 Turner" but a trifle lighter. This is one of the 

 richest and most fascinating colors ever introduced 

 in Sweet Peas and is a knockout when used at 

 night under artificial light. EXPOSITION PINK 

 is one of the most vigorous Sweet Peas we have 

 ever introduced. The blooms, four to a stem, are 

 very large, wavy and well spaced. The stems are 

 long and stout and the plant is an extremely pro- 

 lific producer of blooms over a very long flowering 

 period. EXPOSITION PINK is really magnificent. 

 $1.50 per oz. ; $5.00 per % lb.; $16.00 per lb. 



Annie 1, auric (1933 Novelty). Constitutes the richest 

 tone of pure rose-pink ever produced in a Sweet
