liant red showing a little purple, but much better

OFFICINALIS HYBRIDS 
These hybrids, secured by crossing the Officinalis species, 
which is early, on the common species (Albiflora or 
Chinensis) comprise one of the most outstanding addi¬ 
tions to the list of fine Peonies. They give a full ten 
days season of bloom before the common Peonies start, 
in all types, single, Japs, semi-double and double; and in 
new shades of light to dark coral, cherry, salmon, and 
orange, together with clear dark reds finer than any other 
red Peonies in commerce. As yet no whites have been 
secured. The work takes many years, and many kinds are 
not yet available in numbers sufficient to offeF for sale.
