WAGNER PARK CONSERVATORIES-FIRST PRIZE PEONIES 



After a number of years of experlmentiDR we have selected three varieties of peonies out of our larfre list that we consider the best and 

 most profitable for flnrlsts. and have called these three varieties our First Prize Varietlea. Their selection was not only made on 

 account of their beautiful lartie blossoms borne on long stifT stems, color, free flowering qualities, and being the best for cut flowers, but on 

 account of their continuous and long flowering period, which is an important feature to the florist. 



ripCT PIII7F l|L|||Tr— Has immense pure white blossoms, with carmine flaked tips to a few center petals. It is the first to flower 

 ■'■■*" ■■»•»■*- TV 111 1 1- and is succeeded just bt fore its flowers begin to fade by the First Prize Pink. 

 FIDCT P|I|7F Pliyk— Blossoms immense on long stiff stems and in color almost identical to a La France rose. 



FipCT pi||7r PI n~'^bi8 beautiful variety, resembling the Ameripan Beauty rote in color, succeeds the First Prize Pink, extending 

 ■•■**'■ •■•■«-•- ■»■-■* the flowering period for peony blossoms almost two months. 



We are sure that our efforts in supplying the florist with three grand varieties of peonies, enabling them to have a continuation of bloom 

 over such a length of time in place of overstocking him with blossoms all at one time, will be appreciated, and we are expecting a great 

 demand for this stock, so advise the placing of orders as early as possible ho there will be no disappointment in securing the best stock. 

 Orders will be filled in rotation as received. Stock will be ready to ship September first.-

SIDNEY, OHIO 



i '-■ 



Madison county, Iowa, about 1881. It 

 was then a sprout, supposed to be about 

 six years old, from the stock of a Yellow 

 Bellflower tree, the top of which had 

 been destroyed. The beauty and fine 

 quality of the fruit attracted Mr. Hiatt 's 

 attention and he at once began its propa- 

 gation in a small way for his own plant- 

 ing. The tree proved to be a hardy, vig- 

 orous, upright grower, with very heavy, 

 dark-green foliage, and a regular annual 

 bearer. At fifteen years of age the orig- 

 inal sprout- was reported to be thirteen 

 inches in diameter at the ground. The 

 originator stated in 1896 that while three- 

 fifths of his orchard had been destroyed 

 by drought and cold during the preceding 

 eight years, iJelieious had not been in- 

 jured in any respect. The natae Hawk- 

 eye was at one time applied to the vari- 

 ety by the Hiatt family and locally used, 

 but does not appear to have been pub- 

 lished in connection with it and is there- 

 fore not entitled to recognition as a 

 synonym. 



The right to propagate and sell the va- 

 riety for a term of five years having been 

 sold to the Stark Bros. Nurseries and Or- 

 chards Co., about 1894, with the right to 

 rename the variety, it was commercially 

 introduced by that firm in 1895 under 

 the name Delicious, which word was reg- 

 istered in the United States Patent Of- 

 fice as a trade-mark July 4, 1905. 



Though lacking such marked and dis- 

 tinctive quality as characterizes our best 

 apples, such as Esopus, Jonathan, North- 

 ern Spy, Grimes and Yellow Newtown, 

 this variety is acceptable to most palates 

 and is apparently entitled to high rank 

 as a dessert fruit. The tree is a strong, 

 upright grower, apparently sufficiently 

 productive to satisfy commercial require- 

 ments. In the locality of its origin it is 

 apparently rather susceptible to apple 

 scab and will therefore need to be thor- 

 oughly sprayed for that disease in cool 

 and humid climates. It has been fruited 

 on young trees during the past four or 

 five years in most of the apple districts, 

 west of the Mississippi river and appears 

 to be specially promising in the Rocky 

 Mountain and Pacific Coast states.

are still scarce. Some of the new cut 

 are coming in and they are good. Car- 

 nations are scarce, almost a luxury. A 

 few field-grown ones are noticed and are 

 fairly good for this class of stock. 



Asters are fairly plentiful, but par- 

 ticularly good ones are scarce. There is 

 any quantity of inferior material, but 

 that is not wanted. Gladioli are good 

 and, while not abundant, are nearly 

 enough to satisfy the demand, and they 

 are becoming more popular every year.
