The Flower ^Beautiful 
HERBACEOUS DOUBLE PEONIES, continued 
EUGENE BIGOT. Dessert. 8.3. Brilliant, 
velvety crimson-red. Flower large, full, and 
of splendid form. Tall grower and good 
bloomer. Late. $1.50. 
FELIX CROUSSE. Crousse. 8.4. A brilliant, 
dazzling red, with ruby-flame center. One 
of the most dependable and popular reds. 
Midseason. $1.00. 
FESTIVA MAXIMA. Miellez. 9.3. The very 
large pure white Peony that almost every¬ 
one knows. Center petalage usually tipped 
with carmine-red spots. Still unsurpassed 
for all-round blooming and plant qualities. 
Early. 75 cts. 
FONTENELLE. Rosefield. A comparatively 
new red variety from the same hand that 
gave us the popular Karl Rosefield. The 
color is a clear, brilliant crimson. Mid¬ 
season. $1.50. 
FRANCES WILLARD. Brand. 9.1. One of 
the best white Peonies in existence. Very 
large, ivory-white bloom with yellow sta¬ 
mens at base of the petals. Sweet in fra¬ 
grance. Late. $2.00. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR. Shaylor. 8.9. The 
general effect is a bright rose-pink with a 
ring of short bright crimson petals around 
the center. Plant medium in height, but 
very floriferous. Fragrant. Late. $2.00. 
(1-year only.) 
GERMAINE BIGOT. Dessert. 8.5. A very 
large, full, flesh-pink flower tinged pale 
rose; golden stamens visible. Fragrant. 
Midseason. $1.00. 
GISMONDA. Crousse. 8.2. Very refined 
light pink, deepening to a dark pink center, 
but clear pink throughout. Like many of 
the very late varieties it does not always 
open perfectly, nevertheless is highly 
desirable. $1.00. 
GRANDIFLORA. Richardson. 8.8. Flesh- 
pink, changing to fleshy white when full 
open. The latest double Peony to bloom. 
It always develops perfectly. Very fra¬ 
grant. Very late. $1.50. 
HARRY L. RICHARDSON. Rosefield. 8.5. A 
new deep red or crimson and still very 
scarce. For a very late-blooming red it 
surpasses so many varieties like the old 
Rubra Superba, which we have discarded. 
Will eventually be rated 9.0 or more. Sweet 
rose fragrance. Late. $7.50. 
HENRY AVERY. Brand. 8.8. The general

soft rosy pink. Excellent form. Fragrant.

lent form and delicate texture. One of 
Thurlow’s best. Fragrant. Midseason.

charm. Still considered one of the very 
finest and most fragrant Peonies in exis¬ 
tence. Late. $5.00. 
LA FRANCE. Lemoine. 9.0. Brilliant apple- 
blossom-pink when fully opened. A won¬ 
derful exhibition variety, although some 
years the buds do not properly develop. 
Very late. $2.00. 
LA ROSIERE. Crousse. 8.3. White, with 
small yellow center, suggesting an enormous 
white pond-lily. Unusually distinctive.

LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF. Kelway. 9.1. 
A very large but gracefully built bloom 
whose pinkish buds are noticeably marked 
with carmine. The general color effect of 
the open flower is a rosy pink shaded white.

bloomer some years, but a variety we can¬ 
not be without. Late. $2.00. 
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. Late. $1.00. 
LOVELINESS. Hollis. 8.8. A pale flesh- 
pink with a whiter center showing a few 
red markings. One of the good free-bloom¬ 
ing very late pinks. $2.00. 
MARGUERITE GERARD. Crousse. 8.4. 
Flesh-pink, changing to soft flesh-white with 
creamy white center. A profuse bloomer 
on tall, erect stems. Midseason. $1.00.

water-lily. Very distinct and exquisite. 
Rich fragrance. Midseason. $1.50.
