P^EONIAS 



NEW, NOVEL and UNIQUE 

 JAPANESE HERBACEOUS 



{Ready in October.) 



We are importing this season from Japan some wonderfully beauti- 

 ful new forms of these favorite hardy garden plants. 



JAPANESE 



Filiform Centred Herbaceous Paeonias. 



This new type differs materially in form from all others. The large 

 lower surrounding petals form a saucer in the centre of which is a 

 mound of narrow, long, wavy and twisted petals, very unique and 

 beautiful. (.See cut.) 

 "Snow Wheel." (Magomeshiro.) Broad outer guard petals and 



filiform centre all pure snow-white. 

 " Departing' Sun. " (Hinodesekai.) Broad outer guard petals crim- 

 son, filiform centre petals claret and rose and yellow. 

 "Gown of the Fair." (Hananosaio.) Broad outer guard petals 



rose pink, fading to blush at margin, filiform centre petals rose, 



white and yellow. 

 " Foamingr Wave." (Fujino-mine.) Broad outer guard petals pure 



■white, flUform centre petals canary yellow. 



Price for any of the above varieties. $1.50 each, or the set of 4 

 for S6.00, delivered free in the United Stales. 



Japanese or " Pompadour Flowered " 



■ Double Herbaceous Paeonias. 



These very novel and beautiful varieties produce double flowers 

 with usually 3 sets of petals in tiers, one above the other, as shown 

 in the illustration above. 

 "Japanese Pride." (Tamato-sangai.) Lower tier of petals bright 



carmine rose ; second tier of shorter ruffled petals are pure white 



surmounted by an upper tier of rose and blush. 

 " Crimson Tower." (Kamakurako.) Very double crimson lake; 



the pompadour centre is composed of many wavy fluted petals. 

 "Departing' Sun." (Benisangai.) Lower tier of broad petals 



vermilion ; second tier narrower white petals tipped rose ; upper 



tier vermilion. (.See illustration on front cover.) 

 "Bare Brocade." (Yayoura.) Entire flower white shaded with 



cream at base of petals, outer edges of petals penciled with 



carmine. 



Price for any of the above varieties, S1.50 each, or the set of 

 4 for $5.00, delivered free in the United States. 



Giant Pink Dog's=Tooth Violet. {Eryairomumjohnsann.) 



A new variety ; one of the largest and handsomest of all Erythroniums ; per- 

 fectly hardy. The foliage is charmingly variegated, and a mass of 15 or 20 

 plants is a pretty sight, even when not in flower, but when the graceful flowers 

 are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate in rather moist, 

 partially shady positions, and do very nicely when grown in pots in frames and 

 brought into the conservatory or window garden for winter blooming. This 

 variety bears from 6 to 1'2 rich rosy pink flowers, with orange centres on stems. 

 12 to 18 inches high. (See cut.) 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Large Pink Wood Lily. (TrUUum aranaiflorum Roseum. 



This is one of the largest and most beautiful of the American Wood LilieSj, 

 perfectly hardy, growing and flowering profusely in partially shady nooks about 

 the lawn, under trees, etc. The flowers are large, often 5 inches across, of a 

 bright rosy pink, changing as they age to deep wine red. If grown several in a 

 pot it makes one of the best winter flowers. 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Sternbergia Macrantha. 



GIANT PINK "DO(J S-TOOTH VIOLET. 



A new and most charming addition to our autumnal flowering bulbs. The 

 flowers, which are produced from September to November, are nearly 6 inches 

 across when wide open under the influence of the bright sunlight, and of a 

 bright golden yellow, slightly flaked with emerald, when they first open, much 

 like a Crocus, but larger, and the petals more fleshy and of such firm texture 

 that they withstand any amount of bad weather, brightening up our gardens 

 long after other flowers are gone. They are not only very hardy but increase 

 rapidly, loc. each, $1.50 per doz. 



Bulbs are delivered free In the United States, except where noted.
