TENUIFOLIA SIMPLEX. This is the single form of the Fern Leaf 
Peony. The flower is a brilliant single red consisting of one row 
of petals surrounding a bright center of yellow stamens. The foli¬ 
age is very finely cut and the plant after blooming is attractive all 
through the summer. This variety, the single, is very hardy, and 
will stand up through the winter in very trying locations where 
the double form might not. In full bloom here between May 15th' 
20th. 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA. Next earliest to bloom. A double. 
Very brilliant 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 practic¬ 
able. Very scarce. We have but a small stock to spare this spring. 
This variety was in full bloom here in our fields on May 20th. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA. 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. Offi¬ 
cinalis Rubra is always in bloom here June 1st or before.

SARAH BERNHARDT. A prize-winning Peony in every show room. 
Equally superb as a garden variety. Deep pink, tipped silver. 
Unusually large; delightfully fragrant. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR. Light pink. We have always held that 
this is Mr. Shaylor’s greatest flower. If he had 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. 
LORA DEXHEIMER. A brighter red than Mary Brand. A flaming 
crimson of beautiful form.

occasionally find one Peony which, for all-around good qualities, 
excels all others. Such is Claire Dubois.

in any Peony.
