Peony -flowered or Art Dahlias 



The artistic flowers are best compared to the semi-double 



Peonies in general form. They all flower very freely and are 



borne on long, strong stems, making excellent material for cutting 



as well as for garden decoration. 



Dreamlight. A large full flower composed of many narrow 

 flat petals of a lovely shade of pale old rose illuminated with 

 yellow at the base. Numerous twisted and curled petaloids 

 around the disc make the Peony formation most perfect and 

 attractive. 75 cts. each. 



Drum Major. One of the largest of the Peony-flowered type 

 which under ordinary field culture attains a size of over 8 inches; 

 in color, it is one of the most brilliant, a rich fiery-red which is 

 intensified by a lemon-yellow centre with which the petals are 

 also more or less tipped and marked. 50 cts. each. 



Hampton Court. One of the best; a bold flower of good form, 

 of a bright mauve-pink. 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Coissard. To us this is the most artistic and graceful 

 Dahlia of this type; its flowers are large, composed of incurving 

 shell-like petals; these are of brilliant French purple or carmine- 

 crimson, freely marked and suffused with white. 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Paul Aubrey. A distinct and desirable novelty of true 

 Peony form. In color a beautiful rich deep mauve-pink. The 

 outer petals are broad and flat, the centre petals quilled and 

 rolled towards the centre! 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Vard. Deep Oriental red with golden disc and markings, 

 a gorgeously colored efi^ective flower of good size. SO cts. each. 



Mondscheibe. Large canary -yellow, very free-flowering and 

 attractive. 50 cts. each. 



The Mahdi. A very large fancy Peony of good form, of a rich 

 blood-red mottled and streaked with creamy-white and yellow; 

 a very attractive flower. 75 cts. each. 



The Oriole. A very striking combination of burnt orange, red 

 and yellow. One of the bes"^. of recent introduction. Flowers 

 large on good long stems. 50 cts. each. 



Vivandiere. Of immense size and great depth; color a lively 

 cherry-carmine, shading lighter towards the tips. 50 cts. each. 

 One each of the 10 varieties for $4.50.
