THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Some of the Finer Peonies That Are Scarce. 
Our collection of Peonies comprises the finest sorts obtainable, varieties combining beauty of form, with fullness, large size 
and clear color. In the matter of form especially the modern Peony delights the eye and compels admiration; many of the old 
garden varieties had no more beauty of build than a shuttlecock, depending wholly upon size and color to attract. The varieties 
here listed are as symmetrical and as graceful as the highest types of Roses and Chrysanthemums, and are absolutely free from 
coarseness. Remember, for a fuller description of these Peonies, see our brochure, "Peonies for Pleasure," mailed on application. 
12—ALBERT CROUSSE (Crousse, 1893) -Immense, very full, 
convex bloom, as perfect in outline and contour as a Show 
or Fancy Dahlia flower. The petals are imbricated like a 
Carnation, and overlap each other. The color is best de¬ 
scribed as an even, delicate seashell-pink, an unusual 
shade for a Peony, and is unapproachable in this regard 
by any other variety. This grand Peony has all the points 
of excellence. A most striking flower. Dozen, $5.00; hun¬ 
dred, $40.00; thousand, $350.00. 
119 —DR. BOISDUVAL (Guerin, 1850)—Brilliant, velvety 
maroon. Simply dazzling, nothing finer in dark reds. 
Dozen, $3.00; hundred, $20.00. 
97—DORCHESTER (Richardson, 1870)—Rose type, very late. 
Large and full, an unusual shade of delicate hydrangea- 
pink. A gem. Dozen, $3.50; hundred. $25.00. 
93— EUGENIE VERDIER (Calot, 1864) — Pale hydrangea- 
pink, collar lighter; center deeper, flecked crimson; fra¬ 
grant; very distinct from Eugene Verdier, with which it is 
Emile Galle. 
Madame 
102—ASA GRAY (Crousse, 1886) — Rose type, midseason. 
Large, full imbricated rose-formed bloom; guard petals sal¬ 
mon-flesh; center very full and perfectly formed; color 
lilac, sprinkled with minute dots of deeper lilac; striking, 
imposing and beautiful. No Peony produces more flowers; 
fragrant and distinct. Dozen, $4.00; hundred, $30.00; 
thousand, $250.00. 
170— AUGUSTE VILLAUME (Crousse, 1895)—Enormous, full, 
round bloom, with closely set, large petals; indeed the 
petals are very large; a uniform color throughout the en¬ 
tire flower of rich violet-rose; very fragrant. A Peony 
that it is hard to get away from. Dozen, $5.00; hundred, 
$35.00. 
228—AUGUSTIN D’HOUR (Calot, 1867) — (Syn. Marechal 
MacMaJion) — Extremely large, showy, perfectly built bloom ; 
primary petals narrow and built up close and high ; color, 
very deep, rich, brilliant solferino-red. The largest of all 
red Peonies. Dozen, $5.00; hundred, $35.00; thousand, 
$300.00. 
132—AVALANCHE (Crousse, 1886)—Avalanche, in our es¬ 
timation, is one of the finest Peonies grown. Large, con¬ 
vex bloom of perfect form; color milk-white, with cream- 
colored center; has ruby-colored markings of rare delicacy 
and beauty on some of its petals. A superb Peony. None 
better. Dozen, $4.00; hundred, $30.00; thousand, $250.00. 
often confused. Dozen, $4.00; hundred, $30.00; thousand, 
$250.00. 
25— FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse, 1881)—All Peony enthusiasts 
are familiar With the fact that it is difficult to get a red 
Peony that is a self-color; that is to say, a full, rich, even 
shade of red without being suffused with violet, purple or 
crimson shades. Felix Crousse fills the bill. Its large, 
globular flowers, solid and compactly built from edge to 
center, are a rich, even, brilliant, dazzling ruby-red. Ex¬ 
ceptionally fiery, bright and effective. Both the color and 
size are startling. We place this in the front rank of all 
the red Peonies. As a general purpose red none better. 
Dozen, $4.00; hundred, $30.00. 
67— GOLDEN HARVEST (Rosenfield, 1900)—A most striking 
variety, producing large, tri-colored bloom. The guard 
petals are blush-pink with creamy-white center; center of 
flower overlaid and tipped with carmine. It combines cream, 
gold, white, pink, salmon, peach and apricot, the total color 
effect of the flower being creamy-pink ; strong, delicate fra¬ 
grance. Dozen, $3.50; hundred. $25.00. 
46— JENNY LIND (Parsons, 1860)— Large bloom on long 
stems; tall grower; free bloomer; color light pink with sil¬ 
very reflex, with narrow white petals interspersed with the 
center petalage ; a most striking variety. Dozen, $2.50; hun¬ 
dred, $20.00.
