Beautiful Flowers from the Very Earliest to the Very Latest 
LACINIATA. A bright scarlet single that comes into flower about 
two weeks before Officinalis Rubra. The plant is thrifty, with 
laciniated foliage. The red flowers literally cover the plant and 
when in bloom make one red ball. This single would make a fine 
plant border. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA. That large brilliant red Peony so often seen 
as a favorite in old gardens. In latitude of southern Minnesota it 
generally blooms by Decoration Day. It does not begin to pass 
out until just before the main crop of other Peonies appears. 
Officinalis Rubra is always in bloom here June 1st or before. 
TENUIFOLIA SIMPLEX. This is the single form of the Fern Leaf 
Peony. The flower is a brilliant single red consisting of one row 
of petals surrounding a bright center of yellow stamens. The foli¬ 
age is very finely cut and the plant after blooming is attractive all 
through the summer. This variety, the single, is very hardy, and 
will stand up through the winter in very trying locations where 
the double form might not. In bloom here between May 15-20.
