2889 Sarah Bernhardt. Mauve Rose 
2889 SARAH BERNHARDT. (Lemoine, 1906.) This 
sterling variety well deserved the high honors 
bestowed upon it at the National Peony Show 
at Port Wayne, Ind., June 15, 1926; it took first 
prize for the best dark pink. We are fortunate 
enough to possess a very large stock of this 
exquisite Peony. The flower is the ideal of re¬ 
finement in Peonies, which, aided by its beauti¬ 
ful color, apple-blossom-pink with each petal 
silver tipped, makes it about as perfect a Peony 
as could be imagined. It possesses an agreeable 
fragrance; blooms late. Sarah Bernhardt (Le¬ 
moine). Rating 9.0. Each, 60c; 3 for $1.60. 
2867 AUGUSTE DESSERT* (Dessert, 1920.) Cup¬ 
shaped flower of fine form, with rounded petals, 
velvety crimson-carmine, very brilliant, with sil¬ 
very reflex and often streaked white; very large, 
silvery border; visible stamens intermixed with 
the petals in many flowers. A superb variety 
awarded certificate of merit at the Paris Show. 
Rating 8.7. Each, §1.25; 3 for $3.25. 
2887 PRIMEVERE. (Lemoine, 1907.) 
This variety is the nearest approach 
to a yellow Peony of the Chinensis 
type. The guard petals are creamy 
white and the center a deep sulphur- 
yellow. Protected from the sun the 
flowers will hold a very attractive 
canary-yellow shade. The flower is 
large, medium compact, flat, bomb 
type. Tall, strong grower. Free 
bloomer; midseason. Primevere al¬ 
ways draws considerable attention 
in our fields. Rating 8.6.

size, rose type with stamens. Color 
a deep maroon-red. One of the 
most sought after of all Peonies.

2SS0 MME. JULES DESSERT. A strong 
growing, free blooming plant, of 
delicate coloring. When the flower 
is cut just as the bud unfolds, and is 
allowed to open in a shaded room, 
wonderful tints of flesh, straw and 
white can be seen to perfection. 
Midseason. Rating 9.4. 
Each, 90c; 3 for $2.40. 
2898 WALTER FAXON. (Richard¬ 
son.) Pink. This remarkable flow¬ 
er is at its best in the show room. 
If cut in the bud, and held in a dark 
cool room for a day or two, and then 
brought into the light, it develops 
into a flower of wonderful coloring 
and exquisite beauty. In color it is 
the most vivid of all the pinks, the 
only “real pink” as someone has 
said. Rating 9.3.
