DARK PINK, EARLY PEONIES 
Including the deeper tones of pink and old-rose 
EDULIS SUPERBA. Lemon. 7.6. Brilliant rose-pink 
with silvery reflex. Always popular for cut-flowers. 
Fragrant. 75 cts. 
MODESTE GUERIN. Guerin. 7.8. A bright solid shade 
of carmine-pink. One of the best dark pinks for all¬ 
round purposes. Perfectly built, splendid form, and 
easy bloomer. $1.00. 
MONS. JULES ELIE. Crousse. 9.2. Glossy fresh pink, 
deepening at base of petals; silvery reflex on the whole 
bloom. Globular, bomb-shaped flowers sometimes so 
large that the stems do not support them. Feed heavily 
and you have one of the grandest of Peonies. $1.50. 
OFFICINALIS ROSEA PLENA. 8.6. The pink variety 
with the same habit and season of bloom as the old- 
fashioned red “Piney.” A clear carmine-rose, same size 
and form as Rubra. $1.50. 
DARK PINK, MIDSEASON 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER. Thurlow. 9.0. Rosy pink 
with a tinge of old-rose. Excellent form and delicate 
texture. One of Thurlow’s best. Fragrant. $6.00. 
(1-year only.) 
MARIE CROUSSE. Crousse. 8.9. A distinct salmon-pink 
with perfect form. $1.50. 
MME. DUCEL. Mechin. 7.9. Solid color of silvery lilac- 
pink. Broad guard-petals with closely set center petals 
beautifully curled as in a chrysanthemum. Resembles 
Mons. Jules Elie on a shorter stem. $1.00. 
MME. GEISSLER. Crousse. 7.9. Gigantic, full bloom, 
rather flat when fully open. Glossy Iilac-rose-pink, 
shaded to Bengal rose at base of petals. One of the 
largest of all Peonies. $1.00. 
SOUV. DE LOUIS BIGOT. Dessert. 9.1. A very distinct 
salmon-pink with excellent form and good strong stems. 
$3.00. 
SUZANNE DESSERT. Dessert & Mechin. 7.7. A clear 
china-pink with silvery bordered petals. Very distinct, 
“silky” bloom. $1.00. 
DARK PINK, LATE 
LOUISE RENAULT. Crousse. Color unique—a solid, 
slate-rose-pink. It has never been rated, but aside from 
good form and color, its spicy fragrance is refreshing. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
MARTHA BULLOCH. Brand. 9.1. This variety seems 
to do much better in the Middle West than it does 
with us in the East. We get an occasional immense 
bloom of a very fine clear rose-pink color shading to 
lighter pink at the edges. Fragrant. $4.00. 
ROSA BONHEUR. Dessert. 9.0. Plant rather dwarf and 
bushy, yielding a prize-winning flower, semi-ball shaped, 
of a soft old-rose-pink shade that is most entrancing. 
Fragrant. $3.00. 
SARAH BERNHARDT. Lemoine. 9.0. This is one of 
Lemoine’s best and most popular productions. The 
color is an even shade of pure pink. The flower is very 
large, full and evenly formed. Sometimes the stems do 
not quite support the largest blooms, but heavy feeding 
will soon overcome this. $1.50.
