Beautiful Flowers from the Very Earliest to the Very Latest 
Super-Early Collection—All Red 
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. 
TENUI FOLIA FLORA PLENA. Next earliest 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 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. Officinalis Ruba is always in bloom here June 1st 
or before. 
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.

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 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.

ally find one Peony which, for all-
