PRAIRIE AFIRE 
A beautiful new Japanese, first offered by us in 1932. A vase of 
Prairie Afire exhibited by us at the Des Moines Show was the sen¬ 
sation of the show. Prairie Afire is a new and entirely distinct break 
in color in Japanese Peonies. The guards are broad and a soft 
creamy rose with good substance. These surround a great ball of 
brilliant fiery red staminodes. The flower should be cut in the bud 
and developed inside when the result is simply marvelous.
