CHAMPION CITY GREENHOUSES, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 
♦EDOUARD ANDRE (Mechin, 1874) —Large globular 
bloom; deep crimson-red shaded black with metal¬ 
lic luster on the retlex of the petals. A magnificent, 
striking color. 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen. 
'EXCELSIOR (Terry)—Brilliant crimson, shading to 
lighter at tips of petals; very large, full and finely 
fringed; an American production of great merit. 
25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen, $20.00 per hundred. 
♦FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse, 1881) —All Peony en¬ 
thusiasts are familiar with the fact that it is diffi¬ 
cult to get a red Peony that is a self color, that is, 
a full, rich, even shade of red without being suf¬ 
fused with a violet shade. Felix Crousse fills the 
bill; a rich, even, brilliant ruby-red; exceptionally 
fiery bright and effective. Very large, full shaped 
bloom. We place this in the front rank of all red 
Peonies. Nothing like it in color. We have the 
largest stock of this variety in the world. 50 cents 
each, $5.00 per dozen, $45.00 per hundred, $400.00 
per thousand.

very full shell formed bloom; color, fine ivory-white 
with a few carmine spots on center petals; very

a favorite cut flower variety, being a good keeper.

mate beyond which we cannot go.” It combines 
enormous size with wondrous beauty, often seven to 
eight inches in diameter. Color, snow-white, flecked 
with an occasional clear purple spot on edge of cen¬ 
ter petals. In addition it is very fragrant; a glorious 
flower impossible to describe; magnificent. 25 cents

grant; fully as effective for decorative purposes as

JEANNE D'ARC (Calot, 1858)—Flowers open light 
pink, but gradually grow white as the soul of the 
war maiden. The center of the flower rises like a 
crown, and the pure whiteness seems sprinkled 
with drops of blood, symbolic of the cruel death 
she suffered. It was a delight to visit those fra¬ 
grant and lovely flowers and linger over them and 
drink in their sweetness; thus Harrison describes 
the fair Jeanne. $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen.

Peony so attractive in bud as this; first a ball inter¬ 
laced with green, red and light; as it grows, these 
interlacings become more pronounced. There is no 
bloom whose unfoldings you watch with greater in¬ 
terest. It finally opens a solid ball of softest blush 
with streaks of carmine. There it sits in all its 
beauty, a glorious flower in a chalice of veined 
marble emitting a delightful perfume.” This Peony 
belongs distinctly in a class by itself. 60 cents each,
