Best Varieties For Commercial 
Cut-Flowers 
Many varieties of Peonies, even including some of those carrying 
the highest ratings, because of certain peculiarities of growth or flower, 
are entirely unsuitable for commercial cut-flowers, and would prove to 
be unsatisfactory and unprofitable if planted for that purpose. 
The varieties which we name below have withstood the acid test 
of commercial growing, where none but the most reliable and prolific 
bloomers are tolerated, and we can unhesitatingly recommend them for 
producing profitable crops of commercial cut-flowers. 
Most of these varieties we can furnish in quantities of 1,000, 5.000, 
10,000 or more.
