season. A very large, wonderfully built flower; broad guard 
petals; center bomb shaped like a huge ball; very double and 
compact. The closely set central petals are beautifully in¬ 
curved as In a Chrysanthemum. The whole flower, both 
guards and bomb, a solid color of silvery lilac-pink or 
mauve-rose, very distinct and floriferous; holds Its form and 
color to the end. Indispensable. Stands among the very 
first Peonies. Dozen, $5.00; hundred, $40.00.

late midseason. Large, double, cup-shaped, imbricated flow¬ 
ers; color delicate sea shell-pink with touches of heliotrope 
and lavender. This is probably the most ethereally beautfiul

scarce and rare. Dozen, $5.00; hundred, $40.00. 
18—MADEMOISELLE ROUSSEAU (Crousse, 1880.) Large, 
full, finely shaped flower; sulphur-white with delicate blush

for less than three dollars each. Dozen, $4.00; hundred, 
$30.00. 
276—MARGUERITE GERARD (Crousse, 1892.) Semi-rose type; 
midseason. Enormous, flat-shaped flower with broad petals 
blooming in clusters; color delicate hydrangea-pink, chang¬ 
ing as the flower ages to creamy-white. Many of the cen¬ 
tral petals and even the guards have minute dark carmine, 
almost black, flecks on the tips; fragrant. What can we 
say of this imposing wonderful flower. Visitors to our fields 
pause in astonishment before our rows of this variety. It 
looks at you from any position or angle at which you may 
stand, and seems to say: “Did you ever see a flower so 
sensational or beauty so radiant? Verily, Solomon in all 
his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Dozen, $4.00; 
hundred, $30.00. 
123— MARIE (Calot, 1868.) Semi-rose type; late. Flat, com¬ 
pact bloom. Color white, washed or overlaid with lilac, 
changing to milk-white; guards flecked with crimson; collar 
same color as guards; golden-yellow staminoids or short,

beautiful variety. Fine, tall grower; fragrant. Dozen,

the cut flower market it is known as the American Beauty 
Peony; extra fine. Dozen, $2.50; hundred, $20.00. 
31— MARIE LEMOINE (Calot, 1869.) Enormous sulphur- 
white, massive bloom, delicately shaded chamois, with nar¬ 
row carmine edge; a sort the Peony enthusiast raves over. 
but is unfortunately very scarce. Without question the 
grandest of all white Peonies. You positively cannot afford 
to leave this variety out of your collection. It is a wonder. 
We have a fine stock. Dozen, $1.75; hundred, $12.00. 
8— MIREILLE (Crousse, 1894.) Rose type; very late. There 
are three distinguishing characteristics of this Peony that 
stand out clear and distinct. First, it is the only white 
Peony without markings, tints, shades, flecks or stamens 
whatsoever, being a puro immaculate paper-white; second, 
it is the largest of all white Peonies. When you see Marie 
Lemoine, which is one-third larger than Festiva Maxima, 
you exclaim, "Surely this cannot be a Peony flower; it is 
too big." But look what is coming around the corner, the 
mammoth flower of Mireille, fully a third larger than Marie 
Lemoine; third, it is the latest blooming of all the white 
Peonies, a most desirable quality to commend it, as it ex¬ 
tends the blooming period. These three exceptionally fine 
points make this the most sought after of all the white 
Peonies for cut flowers. Dozen, $6.00; hundred, $45.00. 
153— MONSIEUR DUPONT (Calot, 1872.) Semi-rose type; mid¬ 
season. Very large, well built, cup-shaped bloom, ivory- 
white; center petals splashed with huge drops of lively car¬ 
mine and lit up with golden stamens at base of petals. The 
carmine dots on Mons. Dupont are larger and more showy 
than on any other variety where such spots occur. A truly 
royal flower. Dozen, $5.00; hundred, $40.00. 
48— MONSIEUR JULES ELIE (Crousse, 1S88.) Bomb type; 
early midseason. This is the king of all Peonies, and is 
without question M. Crousse's masterpiece. Immense glob¬ 
ular. very full flowers. Color an ideal glossy lilac-pink, 
shading to deeper rose at the base, the entire flower over¬ 
laid with a sheen of silver that fairly shimmers in the sun¬ 
light. Monsieur .lules Elie is claimed by many to be the 
largest of all Peony flowers. On young, vigorous plants 
we have had flowers eight and nine inches through. In 
fact they are so large aqd handsome that but few can 
realize they are Peony blooms on first seeing them. An un¬ 
approachable variety from any standpoint. When cut in the 
bud, a good keeper, thus fine for cut flowers. Our planting 
comprises some twenty thousand plants of this grand Peony. 
Easily scores the six points of excellence. Dozen, $6.00; 
hundred, $45.00. 
6— MONSIEUR KRELAGE (Crousse, 1883.) Semi-rose type ; 
late midseason. Deep currant or solferino-red with amar¬ 
anthine center. The French hybridists evidently spilled 
their paint pot after producing this superb variety, as there 
is nothing in Peonies of its color. Large, flat flowers as 
big as a plate; perfect in outline. Grand in every way. 
Dozen, $2.50; hundred, $20.00. 
78— RUBRA SUPERBA (Richardson, 1871.) Magnificent rich
