Various Peonies 
We have grouped below several varieties. The first 
three are crosses between Chinese Peonies and Wittman- 
niana and the last four are European types and varieties. 
They are all early flowering and extend the season of 
Peonies by two weeks. 
AVANT GARDE. Exquisite, single flower of pale smoky- 
8.6 pink, with golden tints and golden stamens. L. D. 
$2.00. 1 yr. $2.50. 
LE PRINTEMPS. A creamy-yellow shade, difficult to de- 
8.6 scribe, with faint reddish veinings at base of petals. 
Yellow stamens. L. D. $2.00. 1 yr. $2.50. 
MAIFLEURI. Delicate flesh-white, with a rich creamy- 
yellow over-color. Very fine. L. D. $2.00. 1 yr. $2.50. 
The above three are very similar, but distinctive from 
the other varieties for their delicacy of coloring. 
ANOMALA. Single flowers of bright red, with center of 
golden stamens. Foliage finely cut. Often called the 
“fern leaved peony.” Very early. Height 6 to 9 inches. 
Fine for rock gardens. $1.00 each. 
Officinalis alba plena. Beautiful, ivory-white flowers — 
fully double, possessing good substance, so that they 
will last for some time as cut flowers. $1.50 each. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA PLENA. ^ Double, bomb-shaped 
8.6 flowers of bright blood-red, with almost no traces of 
purple. The old-fashioned red “piney.” 75 cents each. 
Unnamed Peonies. For those who wish a good collection 
without names, we can furnish a good assortment in 
two grades—$2.50 and $5.00 per dozen. They are all 
good varieties and would be worth much more if sold 
to name. 
For those who wish Japanese-type Peonies we can fur¬ 
nish two grades in a mixture of colors. $5.00 per dozen 
and $7.50 per dozen. 
Tree Peonies 
Tree Peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) make a woody 
growth and do not die back to the ground in the fall, but 
eventually form broad shrubs. Propagation is difficult as 
the scions are grafted on herbaceous peony roots and the 
growth is slow, but if one will be patient, the results are 
well worthwhile. The color range is far wider than in the 
herbaceous class including the salmon pinks and yellow. 
They do not need especial care except for a covering 
in the winter to shade them as the blooming period is 
early. The buds start very early in the spring and may 
be damaged by late frosts unless this precaution be taken. 
We have experimented with them for a number of years 
and can offer the following varieties in 2 or 3-year old 
plants, except as noted at: 
$4.50 each $40.00 per ten
