Peonies of Distinction 
are quite as much our hobby as are the old-time favorites 
so well liked by millions. While we grow Festiva Maxi- 
ma, Edulis Superba and other popular sorts in immense 
quantities, we also have “pets” of which we grow only a 
few, sometimes less than a hundred. It is from our col- 
lection of the Best Blood among Peonies that we offer the 
following: 
Three Remarkable Novelties 
Sarah Bernhardt is one of Lemoine’s most charming creations — a 
lovely apple-blossom pink with each petal silver-tipped. 
Claire Dubois. A Gem of first water, rich, satiny pink with glossy sheen. 
Karl Rosenfield. A perfect ball of velvety crimson. Exceedingly 
brilliant.
