If you wish four excellent Peonies 
to brighten your garden early in the

fragrant. Strong, upright grower. 
Very free bloomer. 
MON’S. JULES ELIE. One of the world's 2 6 best Peo¬ 
nies. Fragrant. A wonderful lilac-pink. 
MME. DE VERNEVILLE. A splendid early white; 
parallel in form, type and beauty to Richard Carvel 
and Mons. Jules Elie. 
EDULIS SUPERBA. A deeper pink than Mons. Jules 
Elie, known as the Decoration Day pink. Noted for 
its wonderful fragrance. 
All four varieties will be in bloom at the same time, 
but Richard Carvel will appear first.

Three from this list rate 9.0 and belong in the 
world’s 26 best. 
SARAH BERNHARDT. A prize-winning Peony in 
every show room. Equally superb as a garden va¬ 
riety. Deep pink, tipped silver. Unusually large; 
delightfully fragrant. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOE. Bight pink. We have al¬ 
ways held that this is Mr. Shaylor’s greatest flower. 
If he had never produced another variety, this one 
alone would immortalize his name among Peony 
lovers. 
MARY BRAND. No red Peony ever won favor so 
quickly. Always found among the winning reds in 
every show room. Color so distinct, it is easily 
recognized. 
BARONESS SCHROEDER. Classed as a white but 
opens blush pink, fading to white. Considered one 
of Kelway’s best productions. In the last sym¬ 
posium it continued to rate 9.0 after seventy-nine 
people had voted.

TENUIPOLIA FLORA PLENA. Next 
earliest to bloom. A double. Very 
brilliant crimson. Finely cut foliage, 
so much like that of the Cosmos. Every 
season we receive numerous requests 
for the name of this flower. Tenuifolia 
should always be carefully mulched the 
firsts winter -» after planting. Plant as 
early in the fall as*-practicable. Very 
scarce. We have but a small stock to 
spare this fall. This variety was in 
full bloom here in our fields on May 
20th. A Brand Division $3.00. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA. Next earliest to 
bloom. That large brilliant red Peony 
so often seen as a favorite in old gar¬ 
dens. In latitude of southern Minne¬ 
sota it generally blooms by Decoration 
Day. It does not begin to pass out until 
just before the main crop of other 
Peonies appears. Officinalis Rubra is 
always in bloom here June 1st or be¬ 
fore. A Brand Division $1.00. 
$4.00 
Fully two weeks preceding the early Chinese Peo¬ 
nies—Daciniata blooms first, then Tenuifolia, then 
Officinalis Rubra. Each remains till the next appears. 
The last of these remains to be succeeded by our early 
flowering collection.

other fair sized Peonies. Very fragrant 
A very late 
Bemoine. The

entire bloom 
GRANDIFLORA. Soft shell-pink. When you think 
the Peony season is over, you can still cut beautiful 
large blooms from Grandiflora. 
EUGENE BIGOT. In color this Peony is a very rich, 
bright dark red. The blooms are of medium size, 
showing stamens. Very late, in season with Rubra 
Superba. Very desirable as a cut flower red for the 
home market because of its lateness. 
CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse). Deep pink. Among hun¬ 
dreds of varieties, you occasionally find one Peony 
which, for all-around good qualities, excels all 
others. Such is Claire Dubois. Immense globular 
form. Dong incurved petals—a uniform shade of 
clear violet-rose, tipped silvery white. A late flower 
otherwise comparable to the early variety, Mons. 
Jules Elie. Excellent cut flower.
