EUGENIE VEKDIIB (Calot). 8.6. Pink. A tall grow¬ 
ing, very large flat flower of a light hydrangea- 
pink, coming into bloom early midseason. The 
petals are lighter toward the outside and gradually 
grow deeper in color towards the center. One of the 
showiest and most beautiful of pink Peonies.

grant. Midseason to late. A Brand Division $1.00.

ing into bloom with Marie Lemoine. A deep rose-

profuse bloomer. A Brand Division $1.00

FESTIVA MAXIMA (Meillez). 9.3. White. Early. 
This is the oldest of our really good Peonies. The 
blossom is true rose type with broad guard petals 
surrounding a compact inner mass of rich white 
petals flecked crimson. A Brand Division $1.00. 
PRANCES WILLARD (Brand). 9.1. White. Frances 
Willard is a very fine white which we believe gives 
universal satisfaction. It opens an exquisite blush 
white, occasionally with a carmine touch, changing 
pure white. Usually found in the winning classes in 
every show room. Midseason, comes into bloom with 
Mary Brand. A Brand Division $1.50. 
PRANCOIS ROUSSEAU (Dessert). 8.2. Red. An early 
red variety that seems to 1 have been somewhat 
overlooked by those who are purchasing the really 
choice red Peonies. It is an exceptionally brilliant 
red. In the show room its color is so intense as to 
cause it to stand out among all the reds. Every 
lover of a good red Peony should have Francois 
Rousseau. A Brand Division $1.00. 
EDULIS SUPERBA. 7.6. Pink. We do not believe that 
justice was done this grand old variety in the sym¬ 
posium that placed its rating at 7.6. It is the first good 
early deep pink. It sometimes opens for Decoration Day 
with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne pro¬ 
fusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, 
of a beautiful deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut 
flowers in its color and season. A Brand Division $1.00. 
EDWIN C. SHAW (Thurlow). 9.1. Pink. A large cup- 
shaped flower produced on strong stems. The 
outer petals are broad and rounded with 
carmine tracings, the inner petals gradually 
growing smaller and shorter to the center. 
The color is a clear shell-pink. Comes into 
bloom late midseason. In our opinion the 
finest of the Thurlow Peonies. Classed among • 
the very best of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
EEISA (Dessert). 8.5. Pink. One of Dessert’s 
varieties the stock of which is very scarce. 
The flowers are large, rather open, with long, 
narrow petals that form a cupped center. The 
color is a soft shade of bright pink, with a 
very distinct shading of salmon at the base of 
the petals which enlivens the flower and 
makes it very beautiful. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
ENCHANTERESSE (Lemoine). 8.9. White. A 
charming very late white. An excellent show 
flower. Prolong your blooming season by 
adding this excellent variety to your list. We 
understand that this is not a good flower for 
the South, as it is very late and does not open 
well, but the farther north it is grown, the better it becomes. 
As grown with us, it is rated far too low. It is surely entitled 
to a rating of 9.2. A splendid pure white. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
EUGENE BIGOT (Dessert). 8.3. Red. In color this Peony is 
a very 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 or for the home market 
because of its lateness; yes, one of the best late cut flower 
reds. A Brand Division $1.00. 
EUGENE VERDIER (Calot). 8.3. Pink. A very pretty flower 
especially when cut in the bud and properly developed inside, 
when it retains all of its delicacy of coloring. A cup-shaped flower 
which develops into the crown type. A bright flesh-pink with 
delicate but distinct yellow shadings showing in the collar. Lilac- 
white guard petals. Late midseason, plant medium dwarf, upright, 
with very strong stems. This is a wonderful show flower. 
A Brand Division $2.00.
