Winnifred Damme (Brand 1913), medium-sized flowers of 
8.3 bomb type, bright red. Medium height and strong 
stems. Early midseason. 
SINGLE PEONIES 
Price per dozen at ten times the single rate, e- g., $1.00 
each; $10.00 per dozen. 
Prices quoted are for large divisions (L. D.) consisting 
of strong three to five eye divisions, and one-year (1 yr.) 
plants, which are divisions grown for one year or divi¬ 
sions equal to those. 
For two-year clumps add 50 per cent, to one-year price. 
Three-year clumps at double the price of one-year 
plants. 
The single flowers, or those having a single row of 
petals with a center of yellow stamens, are the first to 
bloom, but will last for some time, for as the terminal 
flower fades the side or lateral buds open. For garden 
effects they are often more satisfactory. They are more 
individual and withstand the rains and winds where the 
heavier doubles might be beaten down. In the early morn¬ 
ing and at dusk the flowers are closed, resembling large 
rosebuds, and are especially alluring. If cut when in bud • 
and brought into the house they will keep a week or more. 
We have tested many varieties for years, and list below 
those that we have found to be best.

have not offered for sale on account of the scarcity 
of the stock. Broad petals of good substance, delicate 
shell-pink with bright golden stamens. Long buds 
resembling roses. L. D. $2. 1 yr. $3.

8.1 green foliage, bearing very large pure white flowers.

tive variety for the border. 75 cents each.
