LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF 
One of the largest and most beautiful of all Peonies. An immense, 
loosely built flower with great broad rounded petals. A pale blush 
pink, fading to white, with yellow stamens. When not disbudded, 
the central flower is loosely double, of a rather flattened, circular 
form; central petals touched with carmine. A beautifully formed 
flower; sweet scented. Very floriferous. Very showy. Opening after 
the central flower, the side flowers come semi-double, saucer-shaped, 
showing stamens. A Brand Division $1.00

L. W. POLLOCK 
(Tone 1—Rich Tyrian Rose). We have long sought for a real 
deep self-colored pink. There are many good light pinks but 
when you look for dark pinks that will cover an entire bloom¬ 
ing season, it is impossible to find flowers of exceptional quality 
that will compare with our best whites and light pinks. This 
variety is a true self color deep Tyrian rose. It is as distinct 
among the deep pinks as Walter Faxon is among the light 
pinks. The plant is of medium height, very thrifty, light green 
foliage, and good strong stems. It is a true rose type. The 
flower does not fade in the field. Here is a very fine field flower 
and also a good show flower. It is a large flower of exceptional 
merit. This is a new variety and we have just three roots to 
offer this spring. It will be 2 years before you will see this 
variety again listed in our catalog. Each $10.00 
MARTHA BULLOCH 
Very tall, very large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. We 
must judge Peonies not alone by individual taste but by performance 
over a long period. The great Peonies receive the awards at the 
large shows. The Northwest Peony Show is staged alternate years 
in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Outside of the National Show, it is 
the largest Peony Show in America, taken year after year. Here 
Peonies of all varieties are shown at their best by expert showmen. 
The class that brings out the best flowers is the class that calls for 
ten vases, one each of ten varieties, three blooms to a vase. Into 
this class go the ten best vases of each exhibitor. Martha Bulloch 
is almost invariably in the exhibit that wins first. Bright old-rose- 
pink; center of lighter rose, and pink. Roselike fragrance. Tall, 
straight stems. Immense blooms. The most beautiful Peony of its 
size. A Brand Division $2.00 
MILTON HILL 
A very beautiful flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resem¬ 
bling Walter Faxon. Seen in the show room in first class form, this 
variety is impossible to beat in its color. It received a rating of 9.0 
with sixty-three voting. This is absolutely one of the finest of all 
Peonies. A Brand Division $1.50 
A scarce variety, seldom seen in any garden. Plants tall with but 
few stalks to the plant. Long, narrow, sharply pointed foliage. 
Flowers very large, loosely built, with long narrow petals sharply 
notched at the edges. Guards mauve-rose. Collar creamy white. 
A beautiful mottling of different shades of pink. Strikingly beau¬ 
tiful, both in the field and show room. A Brand Division $2.00 
LAVERNE CHRISTMAN 
A very large pink of varied shadings. The plant is tall and a vigor¬ 
ous grower. This variety received an Award of Merit at St. Paul, 
Minnesota, in the National Show held during 1923. Very late. 
Because of scarcity of stock we have been unable to offer this 
beautiful variety for several years. But with a nice stock again built 
up we can send out some fine roots. This was one of our most 
attractive show flowers the past season. A Brand Division $3.00 
LILLIAN GUMM 
Late midseason. A new flower of outstanding qualities, good enough 
to be repeatedly singled out from hundreds of varieties in the field. 
Very large, globular in form, rose type, with great broad petals, and 
a cupped center. Color uniform apple-blossom-pink with more 
brilliant shadings at the base of the petals. A Brand Division $2.00 
LOVELINESS 
Very late. Produces very large, flat hydrangea-pink flowers; blooms 
of wonderful beauty. It is Hollis’ best Peony. Plants tall with 
heavy foliage and stems strong enough to hold the immense blooms 
erect. The flowers, a uniform shade of pink, make wonderful show 
flowers. A Brand Division $1.00 
MRS. DEANE FUNK 
Large and peculiarly beautiful in formation. The broad guards and 
half of the petals turn outward, gracefully downward, then up. 
Next is a distinct band of golden stamens as in Phyllis Kelway. 
Lighting up the entire flower, these stamens enclose a rosebud, cup- 
shaped center of large incurving petals. Color a Walter Faxon pink. 
Magnificent in the show room. One of the finest of all Peonies for 
use in decorative work such as the making up of large vases, etc.

MRS. ROMAINE B. WARE 
This variety was selected from the seed bed because of its striking 
beauty of form. True rosebud effect in the center, the petals radiat¬ 
ing in peculiar fashion to give a pleasing effect to the entire bloom. 
Returning from the National Show at Boston, I stopped with my 
good friend Harry F. Little. Mrs. Romaine B. Ware was in full 
bloom. Of this wonderful flower Mr. Little said, “I think this one 
of the daintiest of all Peonies in its perfect beauty." Exquisitely 
delicate; medium size rose type. Medium height -plant; profuse 
bloomer; midseason. Fragrant. A Brand Division $2.00 
MYRTLE GENTRY 
A plant of splendid growth and clean appearance holds the beautiful 
great flower erect and well above the foliage. Immense flowers of 
perfect rose form with great broad, nicely rounded petals of won¬ 
derful substance. Color beautiful pink with tints of flesh and salmon. 
While all of these new Peonies have a pleasing odor, this one is 
the sweetest: the fragrance of a Tea Rose. Awarded Silver Medal 
at St. Paul Show in 1923. A Brand Division $3.00 
LUETTA PFEIFFER 
Very large, semi-double, pinkish white. Foliage, large and clean; 
stems long and stout. Immense blooms are produced in great pro¬ 
fusion. Petals are long, broad, of great substance; a pure hydrangea 
pink interspersed with golden stamens and some splashes of red. 
Blooms early. A Brand Division $1.00 
MONS. JULES ELIE 
One of the largest, most beautiful Peonies; in fact, the largest of 
the globe type varieties. An immense self-colored flesh-pink, shading 
a trifle deeper toward the base of petals. Great prominent broad 
guard petals enclose an immense ball of incurved narrow petals of 
the same color, all covered with an intense silvery sheen. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
OFFICINALIS ROSEA 
This Peony is the same type Peony as Officinalis Rubra but differs 
from it in color. Where Rubra is a deep red this is a deep pink. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
PHYLLIS KELWAY 
Very large, loosely built, the most exquisite beauty. Color deep 
lavender-flesh with long rays of lighter lavender playing the length 
of the petals through the deeper colors. A row of broad petals 
surrounds a loosely built cup-shaped center of long, narrow petals 
intermingled with conspicuous yellow stamens. Long, stiff stems 
hold blossoms erect— a gorgeous beauty in the rays of sunlight — 
one of the most brilliant and striking Peonies in the list.
