PEONIES—Continued 
Kelway's Queen 3-5 Eyes, Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
(8.8) . Pink. The stocks of this variety have been badly mixed and many 
spurious sorts have been sold under the name of Kelway's Queen. Once 
the genuine variety is seen, there can be no mistake. It is a distinct 
Peony, both in flower and plant. We have the true variety and guar¬ 
antee our stock of Kelway's Queen to be absolutely genuine. A large 
compact, rose type flower of uniform mauve, with center flecked crim¬ 
son. A tall, strong grower, very profuse bloomer. Late midseason. One 
of Kelway's finest. Very distinct color, a great show flower. (Color 
illustration, page U). 
La Lorraine Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(8.6) . This Peony comes in a class with Solange and Le Cygne, but it is a 
surer and more perfect bloomer. The color is a soft creamy white and 
the flower has a beautiful form. We have built up strictly healthy stock 
of this.

with a touch of green at the heart. The finest white. Received the 
highest rating of any Peony. 
Longfellow 3-5 Eyes, Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(9.0). Everyone concedes Longfellow one of the most popular red 
Peonies because of its distinct, fadeless color and general dependabil¬ 
ity, both for cutting and garden decoration. It is as striking in the 
field as in the show room. It comes into bloom early midseason. The 
plant has excellent foliage and strong, stiff, stems. The flower is a 
bright crimson and is always found among the winning classes.

with Frances Willard. Color so distinct, it is easily recognized by ama¬ 
teurs, no matter how often they see it in our fields. A rose type Peony 
showing stamens. A red in which there is little trace of purple. One of 
the most satisfactory reds as a cut flower as it will last a week and 
hold right up stiff, if cut in the bud.
