PEONIES—Continued. 
Ruth Brand Three $0.75, Doz. $2.00, 100 $15.00 
7.9. This variety is one of the good early pinks. The flower is 
very large, bomb type. The guard petals are prominent and 
enclose a grand ball of the compact oenter petals. The color 
is uniform soft lavender-pink, splashed with a deeper laven¬ 
der. This is a splendid variety to cut. It has a delicate and 
pleasing fragrance. 
Sarah Bernhardt Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
9.0. Apple-blossom pink, very free-blooming and flowers of 
perfect form on graceful stems. This is the ideal pink cut- 
flower Peony. 
Solange Three $2.35, Doz. $6.50, 100 $50.00 
9.7. Flower very large, compact; rose type; outer petals deli¬ 
cate waxy white, deepening toward the center with shades of 
orange and golden brown. One of the most beautiful Peonies 
in existence; a strong grower and a late, free bloomer. 
Souvenir de Louis Bigot Three $2.35, Doz. $6.50, 100 $50.00 
9.1 Flowers large, convex, Rose-form with fringed petals. 
Bright Bengal-rose, slightly tinged carmine at the base, chang¬ 
ing to salmon-pink with silvery reflex. The color of this pink 
Peony does not fade in the sun and the stems are set in the 
foliage as though they were arranged in a vase. An unusually 
fine Peony, blooming midseason to late. 
Therese Three $1.60, Doz. $4.70, 100 $35.00 
9.8. A most desirable variety of a charming shade of violet- 
rose, changing to lilac-white. Develops a high crown; strong 
grower and very free bloomer. A splendid addition to the mid¬ 
season sorts of which it is one of the best. 
Venus Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
8.3. Exquisite, pointed buds, opening into large, compact flow¬ 
ers of delicate shell-pink with a collar of flesh-white. Extra 
good both as a garden flower and as a cut flower. One of the 
best in our collection. Midseason. 
Walter Faxon Three $1.60, Doz. $4.70, 100 $35.00 
9.3. Semi-rose type; midseason. A very distinct, delicate rose- 
colored flower. Tall, free bloomer. Those who know this va¬ 
riety consider it one of the best pinks. Scarce. 
SINGLE JAPANESE PAEONIAS

(“Top of the Fuji Mountain.”) A very large and free blooming 
sort; white, with rich cream center. 
Fuji-Zome-Gorono Each $4.00, Doz. $40.00 
(“A Wisteria colored gown.”) Inexpressibly beautiful in its 
matchless symmetry and delicate color tones. Immense, flat¬ 
tened, Poppy-shaped flowers borne very freely. The 2-layered

Wisteria-pink. The crinkly cushion is pure gold, toned warmly 
towards the base with coral. 
Fuyajo Each $3.00, Doz. $30.00 
(“A Sleepless Castle.”) This is the darkest, richest and most 
distinctively Japanese of our group. Broad rounded guards of 
velvety mahogany-red. The fine, curly petaloids form a con¬ 
spicuous, dense center; garnet, streaked on reverse side and 
heavily tipped with light bronze. 
Gunpoor-No-Nishiki Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00 
All-over violet-rose, the lower petals striped with white; full 
crown center. An excellent deep mass effect.

with full center pale gold. 
Kara-Ori-Nishiki Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00

streaked and tipped with lilac-red. The center is medium sized 
but bright with deep gold filaments, and carmine seed pods. 
Mikado Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
The Peony shown at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 by the 
Japanese Government. A rich red with long, rounded petals

nodes. Exceedingly brilliant. 
Nana-Henge-Shibori Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00 
(“A striped color.”) Very late. Deep rose, heavily splashed 
with carmine. At first full bomb shape, eventually revealing
