Karl Rosenfield (Rosenfield 1908). When we say that Karl Rosenfield, 
outside of the high priced Philippe Rivoire, outshines all red Peonies 
in magnificence of coloring, perfect formation of roots, we believe we 
are expressing the opinion of all those who know the variety. It 
never disappoints. We have watched Karl Rosenfield since it first 
came out and every year again we must admit that there is no Crim¬ 
son Peony that equals it. At the exposition of the American Peony 
Society in 1911, it received first prize for the best new Peony not in 
commercial use before 1908. The flowers is large, of semi-rose type, 
a perfect ball-like form when fully opened, of a most perfect, rich, deep 
brilliant crimson, on long straight stem; slightly fragrant. The plant 
is tall, strong and upright in growth, and bears a large strikingly 
brilliant flower on every stem. The foliage is rich dark green. 
Blooms early mid-season. Both for landscape planting and cut flowers 
this Peony has proven ideal. $1.25 each; $12.50 per doz. 
La France (Lemoine 1901). This Peony is in a class by itself, there is 
no other Peony of a color just like it. In producing La France, Mr. 
Lemoine eclipsed everything that he had introduced that far. The 
color is a La' France pink, finishing soft apple blossom pink as the 
flower ages, slightly reflecting mauve. The outer guards have a 
splash of crimson through the center, deepening at the base. The 
flower appears to light up and glow wonderfully. Deliciously fragrant. 
The variety produces an abundance of enormous full, rather flat, per¬ 
fectly double flowers of rose type. Blooms late in mid-season. $5.00 
each; $50.00 per doz. 
Le Cygne (The Swan) (Lemoine 1907). No name could bet¬ 
ter describe this variety; the grandest of the white 
flowers that you ever beheld; foliage of a darker green 
than most other Peonies; globular, compact type of 
bloom with a true June rose fragrance. No Peony 
scored higher than Le Cygne. $15.00 each. 
Madame Ducel (Mechin 1880). The plant is of medium 
height and the foliage of a pleasing shade of green, 
which, with its strong, erect growth, makes it very 
recommendable for landscape planting. The color is a 
beautiful silvery mauve-rose; the flower is of the typical 
bomb type of perfect form. The variety that holds its 
lovely coloring and perfect form to the end. The guard 
petals are broad and prominent, surmounted by a chry¬ 
santhemum-like center of narrow, compact, incurved 
petals; visitors always compare it with a giant chry¬ 
santhemum. 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 
Madame Emile Galle (Crousse 1881). Exquisite shade of 
shell-pink with touches of heliotrope and lavender. 
Large, compact, flat, rose type. Beautiful in bud. Late. 
Madame Emile Galle in bud as well as in bloom is an 
irresistible variety. Deliciously fragrant. 90c each; 
$9.00 per doz. 
Madame Gaudichau (Millet 1902). Exceptionally dark crim¬ 
son-garnet with blackish hues. Very large, globular 
flower with broad petals. The stalks and lea'f stems 
are dark crimson. Flowers almost as dark as Monsieur 
Martin Cahuzac. The foliage of this Peony is especially 
attractive and should prove valuable for landscape 
FESTIVA MAXIMA

lutely outstanding characteristics, is very tall and the 
foliage is arranged in a charming way. $7.50 each. 
Livingstone (Crousse 1879). Very massive, solid light pink. 
Perfect rose type; very large and compact flower. Odor¬ 
less. Livingstone should be in every collection for its 
color, shape and lateness. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
Lord Kitchener (Renault 1916). Here is the ideal red Peony 
for landscape effects. It gives an abundance of blossoms 
almost from the first year that it is planted. The color 
is a brilliant cherry-red, one of the most brilliant found 
in Peonies. The plant is of medium height and the foli¬ 
age is bushy and very pleasing. With us Lord Kitchener 
has always been one of the earliest reds to bloom. Rose 
type. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 
Marie Crousse (Crousse 1892). Words cannot describe the 
delightful coloring of this variety. The flowers are 
large, very full, of globular form on good stems. The 
color is the most uniform salmon-pink with life and 
freshness that is unsurpassed by any other Peony. 
Medium tall grower. Mid-season. $2.00 each; $20.00 per 
doz.
