Tourangelle, Pink 
8.8 PHYLLIS KELWAY (Kelway) 
Very large, loosely built, the most exquisite beauty. Color deep lavender- 
flesh with long rays of lighter lavender playing the length of the petals 
through the deeper colors. A row of broad petals surrounds a loosely built 
cup-shaped center of long narrow petals intermingled with conspicuous 
yellow stamens. Long, stiff stems hold blossoms erect—a gorgeous beauty 
in the rays of sunlight—one of the most brilliant and striking Peonies in 
the list. A Brand Division $2.00 
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE <A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. Pink. Large, beautiful flowers; a rather uniform 
lavender-pink. Irregular petals in unique irregular formation. The promi¬ 
nent guards stand out from the rest of the flower; very attractive from a 
distance. The entire flower is climaxed by a striking rosebud effect. 
Blooms carried well above the foliage on strong stems. A late Peony, re¬ 
markable both as a show flower and landscape variety. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.3 PRESIDENT WILSON (Thurlow) 
A very large, late, bright rose-pink, fading to a lighter pink. The flower 
has a rich, spicy fragrance. The plant is of medium height, strong stems, 
good foliage. Awarded Certificate of Honorable Mention at London, On¬ 
tario Show. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.0 RAOUL DESSERT < Dessert) 
Large, globular, high built, with long broad petals. Flowers perfect in 
form with pleasing fragrance are borne on tall stout stems. Color much 
like Walter Faxon and Souv. de Louis Bigot only more brilliant with shad¬ 
ings more marked. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.7 REINE HORTENSE <Calot> 
A show flower usually found in the winning classes. Sometimes sold under 
the name of President Taft. Tall growing, it produces lots of large per¬ 
fectly formed flowers on long, stiff stems. Color a uniform hydrangea- 
pink, minutely splashed on a white background; also prominently flecked 
with crimson. Truly a wonderful flower. 
9.1 ROSE SHAYLOR (Shaylar) 
A very large midseason pale flesh-pink, tinted with rose-pink, lighter at 
the edges and shading to creamy yellow at the base of the petals; center 
petals strongly marked crimson on the edges. The plant is tall, strong, 
free-flowering with good foliage on stiff stems. Another one of Mr. 
Shaylor's fine Peonies. A Brand Division $3.00 
Field Clearance Offer of Peonies 
To make room for the new, we must discontinue the planting of the 
old, no matter how good they may be. We have a big stock of good, 
dependable garden varieties to offer this fall to our flower friends who 
wish to grow Peonies for the cut flower trade in their home town. These 
varieties will also please those who wish Peonies for their own pleasure 
but do not care to compete with their neighbor in flower shows.

9.0 SARAH BERNHARDT (Lemoine) 
Another variety that prevails in the show room. So well known, it seems 
unnecessary to say that it should be in every garden. Semi-rose type. 
Late midseason. Color, apple-blossom-pink with each petal silver tipped. 
Agreeable fragrance. 
8.7 SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saunders) 
A beautiful little flower remindful of a semi-double wild prairie Rose. 
Semi-double blooms open out flat, slightly cupped. Around the edge is a 
double row of wide rounded rose-colored petals which in turn surround a 
central cluster of short stamens with delicate light green carpels, tipped 
bright pink. Delicately beautiful—a Peony masterpiece. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
9.1 SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT < Dessert) 
Salmon-pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the base, 
turning to a salmon-pink. Resembles Walter Faxon in color but stands 
up much better in the field. A Brand Division $2.00 
9.8 THERESE < Dessert) 
Very large; somewhat loosely built; long, narrow pointed petals. Plant 
of medium height with strong stems. Usually produces large typical flow¬ 
ers, even on ]-year plants, if they are allowed to bloom. Early midseason 
pink, fading toward the center, and illumined by a golden yellow glow 
in the depths. A supreme flower for exhibition purposes. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
9.4 TOURANGELLE < Dessert) 
Pink. Rose type; late midseason; a vigorous grower, bearing large high- 
built flowers with cupped centers. Color delicate pearly white, suffused 
with shades of delicate salmon and La France rose. Has a weak stem 
but the coloring is unusual and superb. 
VICTORY CHATEAU THIERRY (A. M. Brand) 
A very large flower with immense, broad, evenly arranged, rounded petals 
of great substance; petals remindful of those on Lady Alexandra Duff. 
A clear bright pink, gradually fading to a lighter pink. This variety is 
the earliest of all of these new Peonies; and, like Richard Carvel and 
Judge Berry, is seldom seen in the show room. The plant is of medium 
height with very strong stems that hold the large, cup-shaped blossoms 
well erect. We consider this variety one of the very best in this list of 
new ones. When Victory begins to open, you will make many trips to your 
garden each day to watch this gorgeous flower as it unfolds its clear, 
pink, broad petals. This is one out of two Peonies that received a rating 
of 100, Alice Harding being the other. Some few low votes in the last 
symposium pulled the rating down to 8.9, but we really believe this Peony 
will finally rate as high or higher than Therese. A Brand Division $3.00 
WALTER FAXON (Richardson) 
A remarkable flower, at its best in the show room. Cut in the bud, held 
in a dark cool room for a day or two, then brought into the light, it de¬ 
velops as a flower of wonderful coloring and exquisite beauty. Color the 
most vivid of all pinks, the only "real pink" as someone has said. To any¬ 
one acquainted with its color, a mere glance over the show room will dis¬ 
close every vase of this beautiful flower. Flowers medium size, attractive 
in form. In the fields it does not hold up as well as Souv. de Louis Bigot, 
to which it is similar in color. Unique for show purposes or home decora¬ 
tion. A Brand Division $2.00 
All Varieties Listed are $1.00 Each Unless Otherwise Priced. Orders for $5.00 or More, Postpaid.
