VARIOUS PEONIES 
We have grouped below several varieties. The first 
three are crosses between Chinese Peonies and Wittman- 
niana, and the last five are European types and varieties. 
They are all early flowering and extend the season of Pe¬ 
onies by two weeks. 
Avant Garde, exquisite single flower of pale smoky pink 
8.6 with golden tints and golden stamens. L. D. $2. 1 
yr. $2.50. 
Le Printemps, a creamy-yellow shade, difficult to describe, 
8.6 with faint reddish veinings at base of petals. Yel¬ 
low stamens. L. D. $2. 1 yr. $2.50. 
Maifleuri, delicate flesh-white, with a rich creamy-yellow 
8.4 overcolor. Very fine. L. D. $2. 1 yr. $2.50. 
The above three are very similar, but distinctive from 
the other varieties for their delicacy of coloring. 
Officinalis alba plena, beautiful ivory-white flowers, ful¬ 
ly double, possessing good substance, so that they 
will last for some time as cut flowers. $1.50 each. 
Absence of water is detrimental to plant life.
