AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
full golden center. It is hard to do justice in de¬ 
scribing it but if you ever see it in bloom', you will 
wish to add it to your collection. (Introducer’s de¬ 
scription). 
GEISHA (Japan) . 10.00 
This variety is said to have a clear, bright red 
color, but I am not yet ready to advise my cus¬ 
tomers to purchase. Let us see if it is really better 
than the King of England. 
GODDESS (Kelway) . 2.50 
This is probably the fourth or fifth best Japanese 
variety in my collection. The flowers are large, 
of splendid lilac-pink color and its strong tall stems 
and its reliability lead me to believe it has a long 
future to spend in American gardens. 
GOOD’S GEM (Good & Reese) . 10.00 
This white Japanese variety with excellent yellow 
stamens and splendid strong stems very pleasantly 
surprised me in my garden this year. It is still 
very scarce, but when it can be sold at two or 
three dollars I believe there will be a big demand 
for it. 
HANO-NO-SATO (Japan)—8.1. 1.00 
This variety has very dark rose petals and it is 
sometimes given the name Cathedral. It is a good 
landscape variety. 
HENRI POTIN (Doriat)—9.0.1.... 2.00 
I have been studying this new Japanese variety 
very carefully for the past four years and each year 
I am better pleased with it. It is more of the pink 
wild rose type of flower than any other Japanese 
peony in my collection. It is very informal in its 
growth, but its flowers have so few petals that they 
do not hold the falling rain and so continue stand¬ 
ing erect. The lateral blooms open gradually and 
the planting presented a beautiful effect for about 
- ten days which is an extremely long time for any 
one variety to retain the center bf the stage. An¬ 
other good point about it is that the stems of the 
flowers which have dropped their petals do not mar 
the landscape. I consider it even better than Petite 
Renee which does not have quite as good a color 
but has somewhat larger flowers. A planting of 
from three to ten plants of this variety calls par¬ 
ticular attention to itself as many other large plant¬ 
ings fail to do. This variety is better for an in¬ 
formal garden especially for a border than it is a 
very formal planting. I give it my highest recom¬ 
mendation. 
ISANI GIDUI (Japan)—9.3. 2.50 
Without any exceptions whatever, I believe this to 
be the best white and yellow Japanese peony in the 
world. The yellow, however, is all in the stamin- 
odes. It is good for every purpose. 
JAPANESE BEAUTY (Sass). 2.50 
Late midseason. A very rich carmine-red with great 
carrying power. It attracts the eyes of visitors 
instantly. Should be in every good collection. Very 
free bloomer. Tall stems. (Introducer’s description). 
JAP. NO. 8 (Japan) . 1.50 
This variety came to me labeled Ama-No-Sode, but 
it is a taller and somewhat slower growing variety. 
Its ashes of roses color will not carry as far as the 
color of Tamate-Boku and Ama-No-Sode, but its
