Beautiful Flowers from the Very Earliest to the Very Latest 
Super-Early Collection 
Blooming very early, in continuous succession . . . these three varieties give 
you two whole weeks of Peony beauty AHEAD OF ALL THE OTHERS! 
LACINIATA. The earliest Peony to bloom. A single. Brilliant vermilion-red. 
Great golden heart of stamens. Blooms with the early Tulips. Alsolutely 
hardy. Unaffected by hard late frost. The foliage is heavily cut like that of 
the Fern Leaf Sumac. This variety was in full bloom on May 15th this season. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA. Next earilest to bloom. A double. Very bril¬ 
liant crimson. Finely cut foliage, so much like that of the Cosmos. Every 
season we receive numerous requests for the name of this flower. Tenuifolia 
should always be carefully mulched the first winter after planting. Plant as 
early in the fall as practicable. Very scarce. We have but a small stock to 
spare this fall. This variety was in full bloom here in our fields on May 20th.

Midseason Flowering Collection 
Two from this list rate 9.0 and belong to the world's 26 best. 
SARAH BERNHARDT. A prize-winning Peony in every show room. Equally 
superb as a garden variety. Deep pink, tipped silver. Unusually large; de¬ 
lightfully fragrant. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR. Light pink. We have always held that this is Mr. 
Shaylor's greatest flower. If he hod never produced another variety, this 
one alone would immortalize his name among Peony lovers. 
MARY BRAND. No red Peony ever won favor so quickly. Always found among 
the winning reds in every show room. Color so distinct, it is easily recognized. 
BARONESS SCHROEDER. Classed as a white but opens blush pink, fading to 
white. Considered one of Kelway's best productions. In the last symposium 
it continued to rate 9.0 after seventy-nine people had voted.

OFFICINALIS RUBRA. Next earliest to bloom. That large brilliant red Peony 
so often seen as a favorite in old gardens. In latitude of southern Minnesota 
it generally blooms by Decoration Day. It does not begin to pass out until 
just before the main crop of other Peonies appears. Officinalis Rubra is 
always in bloom here June 1st or before. A Brand Division $1.00 
Fully two weeks preceding the early Chinese Peonies—Laciniata blooms first, 
then Tenuifolia, then Officinalis Rubra. Each remains till the next appears. 
The last of these remains to be succeeded by our early flowering collection.

Late Flowering Collection 
ENCHANTERESSE. A pleasing very late white. The flower is unusually large 
and is one of the finest of show flowers. 
FELIX CROUSSE. A deep rose-red showing no stamens. Consists of a central 
bomb of incurved petals, surrounded by broad, prominent guard petals. 
A good all-purpose red. 
ALBERT CROUSSE. Shell-pink. Albert, Felix, and Marie Crousse are three 
worthy Peonies. Albert Crousse is a beautiful soft shell-pink with narrow 
compact petals. An outstanding late 
variety. 
Early Flowering Collection 
If you wish four excellent Peonies to brighten your garden early in the sea¬ 
son, we suggest: 
RICHARD CARVEL. The best early red on the market. Wonderfully fragrant. 
Strong, upright grower. Very free bloomer. 
MONS. JULES ELIE. One of the world's 26 best Peonies. Fragrant. A wonder¬ 
ful lilac-pink. 
MME. DE VERNEVILLE. A splendid early white; parallel in form, type and 
beauty to Richard Carvel and Mons. Jules Elie. 
EDULIS SUPERBA. A deeper pink than Mons. Jules Elie, known as the Decora¬ 
tion Day pink. Noted for its wonderful fragrance. 
All 4 varieties will be in bloom at the same time, but Richard 
Carvel will appear first. 
CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse). Deep pink. 
Among hundreds of varieties, you 
occasionally find one Peony which, 
for all-around good qualities, excels 
all others. Such is Claire Dubois. Im¬ 
mense globular form. Long incurved 
petals—a uniform shade of clear vio¬ 
let-rose, tipped silvery white. A late 
flower otherwise comparable to the 
early variety, Mons. Jules Elie. Excel¬ 
lent cut flower.
