New Plant Sensation 
SIBERIAN FERN LEAF PEONY 
EARLIEST OF ALL TO BLOOM IN SPRING 
This is another very fine ornamental introduction by Prof. N. E. Hansen. 
This new Peony has beautiful, very showy, red flowers, with orange-yellow 
centers. They make a most attractive showing in any landscape planting 
and are so welcome at the time of year they bloom. 
Siberian Fern-Leaf Peonies are the very first of the peonies to bloom in 
the spring—from ten days to tv/o weeks ahead of all others,, even the earliest 
Japanese varieties. They also come at a time when hardly' any of the other 
perennials have started; in fact, they are about the only flower in bloom at 
that time of the year. Here at Brookings they start blooming a week or two 
before Decoration Day, continuing until after that date, depending on the 
season, though in various parts of the country, due to the variation in sea¬ 
sons, the blooming time will vary slightly. You can depend on it to always 
be the first to start your peony and perennial garden with its successive 
bright colors. , 
Attractive Cut-Leaf Foliage and Dark Red Flowers. 
Besides the bright red flowers the plant itself is very outstanding, and 
very attractive throughout the entire season, with its fine cut-leaf, fern-like 
foliage, in strict contrast to the large leafed foliage of the other varieties of 
peonies. 
The plant, too, is extremely hardy, not only resistant to cold, for it will 
live and thrive in climates getting as cold as 60 degrees below zero in winter, 
but it is also very resistant to drouth and leaf spot and other plant diseases 
that so often spoil the common varieties of peonies. 
This Siberian Fern-Leaf Peony is a new introduction and we have been 
trying to get sufficient plants started in order to be able to offer it to the pub¬ 
lic. This is the first time we have been able to do so, although the number 
of plants available this year is very limited. So, if you wish to be one of the 
first to get one of these, please order as soon as possible, for we may not be 
able to offer them again for some time, if our supply of plants at the present 
time is taken up.
