Peonies 
WHITE PEONY 
White Varieties 
Festiva Maxima. Large, full double bloom, 
color pure white with an occasional carmine spot; 
strong grower; one of the best of the white vari¬ 
eties. Early. 
Queen Victoria. Medium size, loose globular 
flowers with fine broad guard petals. Opens flesh 
white, fading to milk white. Center petals 
tipped with coral blotches. Fragrant. Free 
bloomer. Extra good in bud. The very best 
commercial white. Mid-season. 
Marie Lemoine. Enormous, solid ivory-white. 
Deepening to chamois in center. Very fragrant. 
This exquisite flower stands absolutely at the 
head of late white peonies. 
Mme. De Verneville. Very large, finely formed, 
anemone shaped flower. Guard petals sulphur 
white. Center petals rose-white with carmine 
touches. Flower of good substance. Stems long 
and strong. An ideal cut flower. Later than 
Festiva Maxima and equal if not superior in 
beauty. Pleasing fragrance. We consider this 
one of the best whites if not the best. 
Red Varieties 
Delachei. Red. Late midseason, compact, 
rose type, deep purple, crimson reflex, a very 
sure and free bloomer. One of the best of the 
dark reds. 
Felix Crousse. Red. Large, compact. Deep 
rose red. Fragrant. Strong robust grower. 
Free bloomer. Called by many growers the best 
one-color red in cultivation. Medium season. 
Karl Rosefield. Very large, globular, compact, 
semi-rose type. Dark crimson. Very strong, tall, 
compact grower and free bloomer. Mid-season. 
A very brilliant and striking variety. Slightly 
fragrant, agreeable. Splendid keeper as cut 
flower. 
Pink Varieties 
Edulis Superba. Pink. Large, loose crown 
type, bright pink with slight violet shadings at 
base of petals. Fragrant. Early, strong and up¬ 
right in habit, very free bloomer. Best early 
commercial pink. 
Floral Treasure. Pink. Large, compact 
bloomer of a delicate all one color pink, borne 
in great profusion on erect, medium length stems. 
One of the best all-around peonies. Extra fine 
as a commercial sort. Fine to plant for low hedge 
where one color is desired. Mid-season. Extra. 
Grandiflora. Pink. Very large, flat rose type. 
Very fragrant. Tall, erect, strong grower. Very 
late. Many consider this the best late variety 
of its color. 
Mme. Geissler. Pink. Rose type, compact, 
imbricated, well formed bloom on strong, erect 
stems. Color glossy pink, shading to bright ben- 
gal rose on base of petals; fine, large, very dou¬ 
ble, globular, imbricated, massive and imposing. 
Mid-season. 
Monsieur Jules Elie. Pink. Very large, com¬ 
pact bomb type. Large guard petals surrounding 
a great dome of incurved petals. Glossy flesh 
pink shading to a deeper rose at the base, the 
entire bloom covered with a silvery sheen. Strong 
stems of medium height. Very fragrant. This, 
in our opinion, is the most beautiful of the bomb¬ 
shaped peonies. A long keeper. Early. 
Perfection. Pink. Rose type, very late. Very 
large double flowers of perfect shape. Delicate 
shell-pink or lilac-white, base of petals shaded 
deeper. Fragrant, vigorous, upright grower. 
Very good.
