THE SPLENDID SCARLET PAEONY 



President Roosevelt 



This grand newPaeony, 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. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. Quantity limited.

PAEONIAS OFFICINALIS 



This is among the hardiest and most popular species

 also very sweet-scented. The varieties offered below

\ JAPANESE TREE PAEONIAS 



Tree Paeonias, unlike the Chinese and Officinalis 

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

 make a hard-wooded growth, and in time become quite 

 large shrubs. The flowers range in color from pure 

 white to the darkest shade of purple, including all the 

 shades of crimson and pink. Double and semi-double 

 varieties, in 12 sorts, specially 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.
