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. 
Good erect habit. Early. $2.50. 
NYMPH7EA. Tburlow. 8.8. One of the 
largest and most charming of the golden 
white flowers. Opens flat, but gracefully. 
A charming and highly refined variety.

of bloom as the old-fashioned red “Piney.”

is the old-fashioned red herbaceous Peony 
of old-time gardens. Very early. $1.50. 
Riviere. 9.2. Still 
considered the best red Peony in existence. 
A rich, deep, non-fading red. Not a very 
large flower, but superbly and evenly built. 
Very, very fragrant. Late. $6.00. 
PHILOMELE. Calot. 7.7. Outer row of 
petals soft pink; center a deep golden yel¬ 
low with a tuft of old-rose. A striking tri¬

PRESIDENT WILSON. Tburlow. 9.3. De¬ 
lightfully fresh rose-pink; very large. 
Foliage especially attractive. Still very 
scarce. Pleasing fragrance. Late. $8.00. 
PRIMEVERE. Lemoine. 8.6. The nearest 
approach to a yellow Peony. This was first 
introduced as a real yellow Peony. The 
dense center petals are the deepest yellow 
so far produced in Peonies, with a row of 
guard-petals lighter in color. The plant is 
a tall, graceful grower and easy bloomer. 
Fragrance very good. Midseason. $2.50. 
RAOUL DESSERT. Dessert. 9.0. Brilliant 
shell-pink, shaded with carmine and white, 
the pink color deepening most attractively 
as the center of the flower is reached. The 
large, globular blooms are produced on a 
plant of but moderate height; stems strong 
and erect. Late. $3.00. 
REINE HORTENSE. Calot. 8.7. A brilliant, 
even shade of pink with the half-open buds 
flecked crimson. Petalage firm and exceed¬ 
ingly well arranged to form an ideal bloom 
of exhibition quality. Strong erect stems. 
Midseason. $1.50. 
RICHARD CARVEL. Brand. 8.8. Con¬ 
sidered our best large early double red. A 
clear bright crimson-red, not fading in sun¬ 
light. Stems are tall, erect, and strong. 
Fragrant. Early. $2.00. 
SARAH BERNHARDT. Lemoine. 9.0. This 
is one of Lemoine’s best and most popular 
productions. The color is an even shade of 
pure pink. The flower is very large, full and 
evenly formed. Sometimes the stems do 
not quite support the largest blooms, but 
heavy feeding will soon overcome this. 
Late. $1.50. 
The basic price, as noted after each variety, is for a large, mature root with at 
least 5 to 6 eyes (the size of a good division grown one year in the nursery row). 
For 2-yr. plants, add 50% to the 1-yr. price 
For 3-yr. plants, double the price of 1-yr. 
The increase in price for the older plants is in proportion to the added years of 
care which assures you of a greater number of good blooms the first year.
