very well-built flower of firm substance. 
Growth moderate in height; stems very 
erect and firm. Very late. $1.00. 
MARTHA BULLOCH. Brand. 9.1. This 
variety seems to do much better in the

to lighter pink at the edges. Fragrant. 
Late. $4.00.

that the stems do not support them. Feed 
heavily and you have one of the grandest of 
Peonies. Early. $1.50. 
MONS. MARTIN CAHUZAC. Dessert. 8.8. 
This, the deepest red of all, is often termed 
“the black Peony.” The plant must be 
well established to produce typical blooms.

a tall, graceful grower and easy bloomer.
