TINGLE'S FRAGRANT PEONIES 

 The National Flower for Memorial Day 



Peonies are too well known to require much descrip- 

 tion. They are perfectly hardy, will thrive in almost any 

 location, and when once planted will increase in size and 

 beauty each year. 



Fall is undoubtedly the best time to plant peonies 

 and I most urgently advise you to plant them then. You 

 may lose more by planting them in the spring than you 

 could possibly gain. I advise you to send me your order 

 now and let me reserve the plants and send to you at the 

 proper planting time this fall. But, if you want them 

 this spring, I can furnish them. 



oO cents each; $4.50 for 10; $40.00 per 100. 



COURONNE D'ORR. This is the famous "Crown of Gold." A 

 variety famous for its beauty. Snowy white, reflecting the 

 golden stamens and lighting up the flower, the center petals 

 beautifully flecked and bordered carmine; immense semi-rose 

 type flowers; late; growth upright, vigorous, with very strong 

 stems; blooms freely; the cut flowers keep well. 



DUCHESS DE NEMOURS. One of the best regardless of 

 price. Superb ivory white with greenish markings near the 

 center, becoming pure white without crimson markings; one of 

 the most beautiful both in the half open bud and when full 

 blown; fragrant; crown type; early to mid -season; strong, vig- 

 orous growth with good stem; blooms very freely in clusters. 

 Fine for the lawn and for cut flowers. 



FESTIVA MAXIMA. For enormous size combined with won- 

 drous beauty this variety has stood unsurpassed for 65 years. 

 Pure paper white flaked with purplish carmine on some of the 

 center petals; rose type; early; very fragrant; very vigorous, 

 v/ith very long, heavy stems; indispensable. You can't plant too 

 many Festiva Maxima. 



FLORAL TREASURE. Color bright pink, very large and 

 double; exquisitely fragrant; a splendid bloomer and excellent 

 keeper. 



L'ECLETANTE. Bomb tj'pe; mid-season; flowers are very 

 double and full; color deep brilliant velvety-crimson. It makes 

 a handsome plant, every flower standing up straight and erect 

 well above the foliage. I think this one of the finest peonies. 



LOUIS VAN HOUTTE. Rich crimson maroon, developing a 

 silvery tip when flower matures; very attractive. Exceedingly 

 choice. 



MADAM CALOT. Rose type; early; large convex bloom; 

 hydrangea-pink, center shaded slightly darker with a some- 

 what sulphur tint in the collar. This peony has three distinc- 

 tive qualities over all other varieties. First, it blooms any and 

 every year, never failing: second, it produces more flowers than 

 any peony ever introduced; third, it is the most fragrant of all 

 peonies, the perfume being delicious. In the above three points 

 Madam Calot stands i)re-eminent. Simply a wonder. 



MADAME DE VERNEVILLE. An enormous producer of ex- 

 tra fine flowers; large, compact, and literally packed with petals; 

 very broad white guards, center slightly blush, becoming pure 

 white, noticeably flecked with carmine; deliorhtful fragrance; 

 bomb type; the earliest white of the Albiflora type; extra 

 strong, vigorous growth of medium height with good stems; 

 one of the finest both for cut flowers and landscape planting. 



MADAME DUCEL. A veiT large. ver>- double, perfectly 

 formod globular bloom, the center petals as beautifully incurved 

 as in a chrysanthomum; bright silvery pink: fr.Tgrant; bomb 

 type; mid-season to late; vigorous: blooms freely; excellent. 



MEISSONIER. Medium size. bomb, developing a crown with 

 age; uniform brilliant purple-red: fragrant; very tall, free 

 bloomer; very brilliant coloring; mid-season. 



MIXED. These are some of the fine named varieties that 

 have become mixed In handling. 25c each: $20.00 per 100.
