EXQUISITE, s. c. Petals are quite long and 
pointed. This, as its name indicates, is a 
dower of exquisite beauty and charm. A deli¬ 
cate lemon yellow, shading to cream at tips 
of petals, with a very slight pink diffusion 
which, with its long, twisting and sharply 
pointed petals, makes a flower of rare charm 
and beauty. It is a strong grower, prolific, 
and with an absolutely closed center, always, 
and very long, cane stiff stems. Blooms not 
immense, but of good exhibition size, and 
wonderful keepers either cut or on the bush. 
The foliage and stems are almost identical to 
Kathleen Norris, and the flowers are equally 
as beautiful. A big $10 value for Roots $5. 
Plants $2.50. 
PURITY, Peo. I know peonies are not pop¬ 
ular, but I will defy anyone to see this, when 
grown to perfection, and not like it. Imagine 
a 10 inch bloom (and very deep) with a deep 
gold center as large as a silver dollar and sur¬ 
rounded with curly petaloids. The white is 
a pure snowy white, with no greenish tinge 
and the center is the deepest gold, resembling 
a gigantic white daisy. The stems are very 
long and cane-like. Beautiful always, with 
liberal disbudding and pruning, it is a won¬ 
der. Absolutely unbeatable in peony class. 
Roots $1. 
ROYAL GLORY, 1. D. A bloom of large Ex¬ 
hibition size but very difficult to describe. It 
is an extremely rich and brilliant scarlet 
maroon with violet shadings at the tips and 
a slight purple suffusion over all. A truly 
royal flower, whose formation is equally as 
beautiful as its color and almost equally as 
hard to picture. The pointed petals incurve 
slightly at the extreme tips, making a very 
odd and beautiful pattern. Combined with 
deep gold varieties this makes a stunning 
combination, or shown next to such. The 
foliage is a black green which sets off the 
gorgeous blossoms to fine advantage. The 
stems are long and rigid, and, hold the bloom 
above the plant, which is low, and branching 
and requires no stakes. Roots $3. Plants 
$1.50. 
SAKONNET QUEEN, I. D. This dahlia is 
the most vivid and gorgeous pink I know, and
