PAEONIAS 



THE SPLENDID SCARLET PAEONY 



President Roosevelt 



This grand new Paeony, which originated in Holland, 

 is now offered for the first time, and was named in 

 honor of the President as a compliment to this coun- 

 try — as an evidence of the friendly relations existing 

 between the two countries, Holland and America. The 

 color is one of the most distinct of the Chinensis type— 

 a brilliant scarlet — a color almost unknown in the 

 Paeony. %\ each, $io per doz. Quantity limited. (Sec

Paeonins 



PAEONIAS OFFICINALIS 



This is among the hardiest and most popular species 

 of the extensive Paeonia family, and is one of the com- 

 monest to be found in gardens, and the first to flower; 

 also very sweet-scented. The varieties offered below 

 are the most typical, and beautiful for cither massing 

 in borders or as individual specimens. 

 Rubra plena. Deep crimson ; can be forced for 



Easter. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $12 per 100.

 per do/. , $12 per 100. 



JAPANESE TREE PAEONIAS 



Tree Pa;onias, unlike the Chinese and Ollicinalis 

 types, do not die down to the ground each year. They 

 make a hard-wooded growth, and in time become (|uite 

 large siu ubs. The flowers range in color from pure 

 white to the ilarkest shade of purple, including all the 

 shades of crim.son and pink. Double and semi-doulile 

 varieties, in 12 sorts, spi'cially selected for me by a 

 friend in Japan, consisting of the best varieties in com- 

 merce. 75 cts. each, set of 12 varieties for $7.50, $60 

 per 100.
