RED PEONIES—Continued 
PHILIPPE RIVOIRE 
The highest rated red Peony rating 9.2 while Longfellow, the second 
highest, rates 9.0. Philippe Rivoire has the richest coloring of all 
red Peonies. It is a flower that is beautiful in form, fragrant, and 
void of stamens. The splendid growing habits of the plant, and the 
excellent characteristics of the flower, make it an unusually desirable 
variety. A Brand Division $4.00 
RICHARD CARVEL , 
A very early crimson coming at the same time and having the 
same form as that fine old pink variety, Mons Jules Elie. Because of 
its early blooming habit, its large size, and its unusually fine frag¬ 
rance, it has become a well established favorite both as a garden 
flower and a commercial cut-flower variety. A Brand Division $1.00 
W. E. BLANCHETTE (New) 
The firm of Brand has always been noted for its fine red 
Peonies. Longfellow, Mary Brand, Lora Dexheimer, Winni- 
fred Domme, Richard Carvel, David Harum, and Charles 
McKellip are excellent varieties. Among the three reds that we 
are introducing this year is this superb variety, W. E. Blan¬ 
chette, a rich deep crimson. It is of immense size, the largest 
red we know of. It is of a loose, semi-rose type with immense 
broad petals arranged in symmetrical form like the petals of a 
beautiful rose. It is so large and of such beautiful form that it 
catches the eye instantly in the field. It develops nicely inside 
as a show flower and holds up well over a period of a number 
of days. We believe anyone who purchases this fine red will 
be more than pleased with it. Not offered again for two years. 
Each $10.00

TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA 
The Fern-Leaf Peony 
The earliest double to bloom. In bloom with us around May 
20th. 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. Very scarce. Few growers 
are able to list it. A Brand Division $3.00 
1/Uluie PeosueA 
ALSACE-LORRAINE 
This is a late mid-season, rich creamy white, with a suggestion of 
brownish yellow at the base of the petals similar to Solange. The 
petals are rounded and cupped at the tips, of a waxy texture, sym¬ 
metrically arranged. The plant is of medium height with clean scant 
foliage. A Brand Division $1.50 
ARGENTINE 
A fragrant, late mid-season globular creamy white, with symmetri¬ 
cally arranged petals of splendid substance. This is one of the late 
introductions of Lemoine and we feel it has a promising future. 
A Brand Division $3.50 
BALL O' COTTON 
This Peony is well named, truly a ball of cotton. It is a large, late 
mid-season, fragrant white. The incurved petals form a large com¬ 
pact white ball. A trace of crimson appears on a few petals and 
there is a faint lemon tint in the center when the flower is fully open. 
The plant is of medium height with strong stems and good foliage.

DR. CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM (New) 
This variety was named for Dr. Graham, who was so long 
identified with the early history of the Mayo Clinic at Roches¬ 
ter, Minnesota. Here is a large late white in season with Marie 
Lemoine. It is a rich creamy white absolutely void of stamens. 
The plant is tall, with medium green foliage and strong stems. 
The flower is large, loosely built, with large guard petals en¬ 
closing a center of smaller lacy petals. There is an occasional 
trace of carmine on a petal, but not flecked like Festiva Maxima. 
The general appearance of this late flower is that of a large, 
very creamy white, the Kelway’s Glorious type. We consider 
this a real acquisition to our short list of good late whites. It is 
absolutely a first class variety and also a late variety. It is a 
loose type and will open well. Not offered again for two years. 
A Brand Division $10.00 
DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS 
A very early, fragrant, creamy white. The guard petals are white 
with a full center of light canary-yellow, deepening to pale green at 
the base. An excellent garden variety. A Brand Division $1.00
