BRAEGER'S 
SWEET PEAS 
a ae 
BLUE 
Chinese Blue. By far the best of the rich blue shades—a clear, 
pure color. 
Reflection. Clear cornflower blue. Unusually vigorous, extra 
long stemmed. Flowers of splendid substance and beautifully 
waved. Today’s most popular and best clear blue. 
CERISE 
Mrs. A. Searles. Salmon-cerise, merging into a soft oriental- 
red. A remarkable and distinct color. 
Grand Slam. Bright scarlet cerise. 
CREAM 
What Joy. Primrose, shading to cream. A charming tone and 
so far the nearest approach to a true yellow. 
Grand National. Considered the best of its color. An improved 
cream. 
CRIMSON 
Red Boy. The very best crimson. It is a first class sweet pea 
for all purposes, especially for general garden culture. 
Rubicund. Crimson scarlet. 
IVORY 
Sunkist. Cream picotee edged rose. 
LAVENDER 
Ambition. Rich deep lavender, with a darker shade on the 
base of the standard and wings when young, lessening as the 
bloom ages. Gold Medal and Award of Merit, National Sweet 
Pea Society Trials. 
Powerscourt. A clear pure lavender. Has been considered the 
best lavender for a number of years. 
MAROON 
Warrior. Rich chocolate maroon. A magnificent variety which 
has held its place and popularity for a number of years. 
MAUVE 
Chieftain. Satiny mauve. Best of its color. 
PURPLE 
Olympia. Deep rich purple of graceful form and immense size. 
Gold Medal, Scottish National Sweet Pea Trials. 
ORANGE 
Pirate Gold. Golden orange, deeper than Guinea Gold and 
brighter than Prince of Orange. It withstands hot sun. 
Prince of Orange. Brilliant orange. Unsurpassed in this color 
class for vigor, size of flowers and long stems. Gorgeous under 
artificial light. 
SALMON 
Smiles. Clear glistening salmon, best describes this exquisite 
variety. The large flowers are beautifully waved and fluted. 
Salmon Gigantic. This new salmon-pink has great plant vigor, 
enormous sized blooms which are nicely waved and frilled, and 
produced on fine long stems. Best of its color. 
SCARLET 
Welcome. By far the best and most brilliant, dazzling, scarlet 
Sweet Pea. For exhibition or gardens it is supreme. Absolutely 
sunproof. Silver Medal, Scottish National Sweet Pea Society. 
Red Supreme. Bright red without the dull maroon cast com- 
mon to most sweet peas of this color group. Long stems. An 
improvement in every way.
