VARIOUS PEONIES 
We have grouped below several varieties. The first 
three are crosses between Chinese Peonies and Wittnian- 
niana and the last four are European types and varieties. 
They are all early flowering and extend the season of 
Peonies by two weeks. 
AVANT GARDE. Exquisite, single flower of pale smoky- 
8.6 pink, with golden tints and golden stamens. L. D. 
$2. 1 yr. $2.50. 
LE PRINTEMPS. A creamy-yellow shade, difficult to de- 
8.6 scribe, with faint reddish veinings at base of petals. 
Yellow stamens. L. D. $2. 1 yr. $2.50. 
MAIFLEURI. Delicate flesh-white, with a rich creamy- 
yellow over-color. Very fine. L. D. $2. 1 yr. $2.50. 
The above three are very similar, but distinctive from 
the other varieties for their delicacy of coloring. 
ANOMALA. Single flowers of bright red, with center of 
golden stamens. Foliage finely cut. Often called the 
“fern leaved peony.” Very early. Height 6 to 9 in¬ 
ches. Fine for rock gardens. $1 each. 
Officinalis alba plena. Beautiful, ivory-white flowers — 
fully double, possessing good substance, so that they 
will last for some time as cut flowers. $1.50 each. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA PLENA. Double, bomb-shaped 
8.6 flowers of bright blood-red, with almost no traces of 
purple. The old-fashioned red “piney.” 75 cents each. 
TENUIFOLIA FLORE PLENO. A long name for a 
small plant. Double blood-red flowers appear to nes¬ 
tle in the grass-like foliage. Dwarf. Very early. 
Excellent for rock gardens. $2- each. 
Unnamed Peonies. During the dividing season sometimes 
a label is lost and the divisions are planted to sell to 
color. We can furnish these in two grades—$2.50 
and $5.00 per dozen. They are all good varieties and 
would be worth much more if sold to name. 
For those who wish Japanese-type Peonies we can fur¬ 
nish two grades in a mixture of colors, $5.00 per dozen 
and $7.50 per dozen. 
Soil Level 
This shows the proper depth for a. 
Peony root—never more than 2 or 3 
inches below the surface.
