PEONY LIST, 1912 
In this Catalogue the Sunnyfield Nursery Company begs to present its Peony list for the year 1912 
and forward. It contains, we believe, not only a large assortment, but also all the best varieties to be found 
on the modern market,, whether single or double, herbaceous or tree. 
The list is arranged on a color scheme. Each sort begins with the pure white varieties followed by 
tints to shades of pink, concluding with reds, running from Kght to darkest. 
We give a brief list according to the time of blooming: 
EARLY. — Pseonias officinalis (see page 61) are the earliest of all, blooming two weeks earher than other 
sorts. Tree Peonies fsee page 61) bloom early in May, preceding the herbaceous. The earliest herbaceous 
single is Tenuifoha; early herbaceous doubles are lestiva maxima. Golden Harvest, Achille, L'Esperance 
and Marie Lemoine. 
MIDSEASON. — Alba sulphurea, Queen Victoria, Mont Blanc, Candidissima, Pulcherrima, Beaute 
Francaise, Golden Harvest, Jeanne D'Arc, Rosea elegans, Lohengrin, Rubens,_ Rosea grandiflora, LaTulipe, 
Anemone flora rubra, Rubra triumphans, and Souvenir de L'Exposition Universelle. 
LATE. — Comte de Paris, EduHs superba, Mons. Paillet, Ne Plus Ultra, Victor Lemoine, Rosea su- 
perba, Louis \an Houttei, Andre Lauries, Humei, Plenissima rosea superba. Cardinal Richeheu, Gloire 
de L'Exposition Universelle, LTndispensable and Grandiflora rubra.
