AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
on the landscape. Again 1 say I recommend it. It is 
the most reliable red peony for Memorial Day in 
this latitude. 
RITA (Dessert)—8.6 ... 1.00 
All peony enthusiasts are anxious to find a salmon 
tone in their new purchases of pink peonies and 
this variety from France has that desirable tone 
in its pink coloring. 
ROSABEL (Sass) . 2.50 
Midseason. Large, perfect flowers of real rose-red. 
Blooms freely every year on strong stems. Mr. 
Hans Sass always admired this seedling of his. Do 
not judge this new peony by its low price, but 
try to see it in bloom. (From introducer's description). 
ROSA BONHEUR (Dessert)—9.0 . 1.00 
This is undoubtedly one of the very good late 
blooming pink peonies. It has a splendid rating 
and a most excellent record. 
ROSE SHAYLOR (Shaylor)—9.1 . 1.50 
This fine Shaylor variety has stiff stems and pos¬ 
sibly more landscape value than any other Shaylor 
variety. Its color is pale flesh-pink with some 
crimson markings on the petals. 1 hope landscape 
architects will give this variety particular attention. 
Very good for the show room as well as the land¬ 
scape. 
ROSETTE (Dessert)—8.8 . .75 
A splendid early pink variety, but not quite as 
early as Umbellata Rosea and Edulis Superba, but 
taller and larger in size and much better in color. 
ROSINE (Lemoine)-9.0 . 2.50 
In looking through peony catalogues you will find 
in the descriptions of early varieties many pale 
lilac double peonies. This one, however, is a late 
blooming variety and will no doubt be a splendid 
addition to gardens which do not now have this 
particular variety. 
SARAH BERNHARDT (Lemoine)—9.0 . 1.00 
A very tall peony with very large rose-pink blooms 
which are most effective in vases and on the exhibi¬ 
tion tables. Strictly a cutting variety and one of 
the best sellers. 
SARAH K. THURLOW (Thurlow)—9.1 . 1.50 
This light pink variety produces medium sized 
blooms on very long stems. Somewhat difficult to 
grow satisfactorily in my garden. 
SHATTUCK (Brand) . 2.00 
This new red double peony came from Mr. Brand’s 
garden. It made a magnificent showing a few years 
ago at the National Peony Show in Des Moines, the 
same show at which Prairie Afire was the outstand¬ 
ing new Japanese variety. Both of these new va¬ 
rieties are rapid multipliers in the garden and this 
one is now offered at a very attractive new price. 
SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saunders) . 4.00 
Early. Clusters of medium size semi-double, cup¬ 
shaped flowers, rose pink with a center filled with 
yellow stamens, and a central cluster of green 
carpels tipped pink. The color effect is simply beau¬ 
tiful, resembling somewhat a mamoth wild rose. 
Rather dwarf growing.
