THE CREAM OF THE PEONIES-Continued

 right grower; color a delicate hydrangea-pink 

 or salmon-flesh. A color that is rare in Peonies. 

 §1.00. 



22 — DUC DE WELLINGTON (Calot, 1859) — Flowers 

 of enormous size, really gigantic, pyramidal in

41 — DICHESSE DE NEMOURS (Calot. 1856) — 

 Superb cup-shaped; sulphur-white flowers, fad- 

 ing to pure white. In all Peonies there is noth- 

 ing so exquisitely chaste and beautiful as this 

 variety in the half open bud state; excels as a 

 cut flower. Don't omit it. 60 cents. 



79 — EDULIS SUPERBA (Lemon, 1824) — This might 

 be called the Decoration Day Peony, as it with 

 us is always in bloom for Decoration Day. Our 

 field of thirty thousand plants in full bloom on 

 that day is a sight never forgotten. Bright clear 

 pink of the purest tone. 75 cents. 



115 — EDWIN FORREST (Hollis, 1906) — Large con-

 even, brilliant ruby-red. A grand red Peony. 

 §1.25. 



30— FESTrVA MAXIMA (Miellez, 1S51)— This is 

 not only the finest white in existence, but in most 

 quarters it is regarded as the queen of all the 

 Peonies. 75 cents. 



4 — FLORAL TREASURE (Rosenfield, 1900) — Very 

 large, full flowers of clear even pink, shading 

 lighter at the center; a very delicate color and a 

 most beautiful Peony. 75 cents. 



3S — FRAGRANS (Sir Joseph Banks, 1805) — Soft 

 delicate pink, interspersed with salmon; an ex- 

 ceedingly good, perfect bloom and a pretty flower; 

 highly fragrant. 50 cents.

 and compact' color pale lilac-rose; guards pre- 

 eminently splashed with crimson; a very fresh

 than this one. §2.00.

 of enormous size of a clear bright pink color. 

 Nothing finer. A wonder. §2.00. 



110 — GLOIRE DE CHARLES GOMBAULT (Gom- 

 bault, 1866) — We have no hesitancy in saying 

 that this is the best of all the tricolor varieties. 

 The colors are as well defined and clear cut as 

 a cameo, beautiful. Rose and creamy-white with 

 shades of salmon-yellow. §1.25. 



67 — GOLDEN HARVEST (Rosenfield, 1900) — Very 

 striking variety. This Peony combines cream, 

 gold, white, pink, salmon, peach and apricot, the 

 total color effect of the flower creamy-pink; 

 strong, delicate fragrance; a splendid bloomer; 

 extra fine. §1.00. 



SO — GRANDIFLORA (Richardson, 1883) — Its im- 

 mense double flowers are borne in greatest pro- 

 fusion. Color bright sea-shell pink overlaid with 

 delicate lilac and salmon-pink. So fairy like it 

 reminds one for all the world of huge butterflies 

 hovering over the plants. It is a wonder. §1.25.

 pact, pink flower with delicious cinnamon fra- 

 grance. 50 cents.

 fragrant -flower of perfect symmetrical form. 

 The color is a delicate silvery-rose with lively 

 pink center. 75 cents. 



190 — LA FAYETTE (Dessert, 1904) — The flowers are 

 of great size, the color is a lovely shade of sal- 

 mon-pink with touches of heliotrope "and a deli- 

 cate tinting of cerise in the reflex. A five-year 

 plant of this variety in bloom is a sight never to 

 be forgotten. §2.00. 



149 — LA ROSIERE (Crousse, 1SSS) — One of the most 

 charming of all Peonies. Every woman that sees 

 it wants it. Opens in huge clusters of purest 

 white and gold. Exceedingly beautiful. §1.25. 



103 — LA TULIPE (Calot, 1872) — Enormous flowers, 

 delicate blush-white, with pronounced stripes of

 and full. Color deep brilliant velvety red; superb.

 would indicate, this is a leviathan as to size. Has 

 large petals, color deep bright rose, a color that 

 is rather scarce in Peonies. Extra. §1.00. 



275 — L'INDISPENSABLE (Origin unknown) — A 

 huge ball of delicate baby pink, very double and

 called Peony experts for Eugene Verdier. 50c.

 pact bloom; color bright pink; a much sought

 late. Very full imbricated bloom; both buds and 

 flowers are large and beautiful. Color pale lilac- 

 rose with sheen of silver; very free .sure bloomer
