This most sensational variety is the showiest and

The color of this acquisition is remarkable, 
and attracts everybody’s attention. It is a 
superb combination of brilliant scarlet and 
gold, with an exquisite ring of rich, clear 
golden yellow at center. Occasionally the 
first flower comes fully double, but all that 
follow show that beautiful golden yellow 
center which combines to make this flower 
the most charming. Its form is very orig¬ 
inal, consisting of peculiarly twisted and 
curled petals, which are very long and 
beautifully shaped. The effect of these phe¬

this variety the supreme place in the 
Peony-flowered class. 50 cents each.
