OFFICINALIS RUBRA 
This is the name of the very first peony I ever saw, 
some sixty or seventy years ago. This species. 
Officinalis, was originated in Europe and hereafter 
instead of calling this kind of peony Officinalis I 
will call it European. This European peony comes 
in white, pink, and red but the red variety is very 
much more vigorous than the white and the pink. 
I here offer Officinalis Rubra (European Rubra) at 
75c per root. As the roots are not exactly like the 
Chinensis or Chinese peony roots I cannot offer them 
in strictly one eye and two eye divisions. I suggest 
that every purchaser give these roots plenty of water 
at least twice during the months of September and 
October.

OPAL (Pleas)—8.5 
Next to Jubilee and Elwood Pleas, this is the great¬ 
est peony Mrs. Pleas originated. In rich loam soil, 
this, pale rose-pink variety blooms very abundantly 
and carries its blooms gracefully. Its delicate 
opalescent shades make it a favorite with many 
people.

OTHELLO (Lemoine) 
A very dark metallic red peony, a rather slow grow¬ 
ing variety. It is a very unusual color and it is 
interesting because it is, I believe, the only red 
variety introduced by Lemoine.

PALLAS (Terry)—8.2 
A pink peony of low growing habit and splendid 
quality petals. The stems are strong and where a 
low growing variety can be used, it is very desir¬ 
able. I am glad to recommend it very highly.

PASTEUR (Crousse)—8.4 
A peony with a delightful shade of pink whose 
blooms have Jubilee form and beauty and whose 
stems have a little more strength. It blooms very 
prolifically.

PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Riviere)—9.2 
A medium-sized, full double, red, late mid-season 
peony which, for fifteen years, has maintained its 
place as the best red variety in the world. It has a 
pleasing odor, the color holds well and the stems are 
strong enough to hold the medium-sized blooms. It 
has my unqualified recommendation as a prize win¬ 
ner and as a landscape variety.
