MRS. EDWARD HARDING (Shaylor)—9.3 
This early blooming white variety is the original 
$100.00 peony. Its blooms are excellent in the show 
room and for interior decoration and its landscape 
value is good.

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.

TAMATE-BOKU (Japan)—9.4 
This large and beautiful pink and yellow variety was 
far, far the best Japanese variety exhibited in the 
Rochester National Peony Show last year and it was 
the only Japanese variety placed in the Court of 
Honor. Its history is the most remarkable of any 
peony in all our American peony catalogues. I was, 
I believe, the very first importer of this variety from 
France in 1916 at a price of only $2.00. And now, after 
twenty-four years in commerce, it is not only the best 
Japanese variety but its increase in popularity, de¬ 
mand, and price is almost like a fairy story. I am 
sure that every peony enthusiast will look forward to 
the time when he will have a Tamate-Boku growing 
in the Court of Honor in his own garden.

YELLOW KING (Japan) 
While this splendid variety has pink guards, yet it 
has the best yellow central petals of any variety and 
the yellow takes prominence over the pink. The 
growing buds should be covered with thick paper 
bags until they begin to expand rapidly, at which 
time the buds should be taken indoors and the bags 
removed. A display of fifty or a hundred of these 
yellow blooms brings exclamations of surprise from 
all beholders. This is one variety which should be 
grown in quantity and all the flowers should be 
taken indoors for all their yellow beauty is lost in 
the open garden.

This Folder gives description of 16 different 
Peonies. But the new Catalog will contain 
more than ten times as many. If you appre¬ 
ciate Peonies send for it.
