Peonies 
Liatris 
Fine hardy plants, rivaling the rose in perfection of bloom and coloring, and 
requiring little care, as they thrive and do well in any soil. Colors range from 
pure white to deep crimson. Can be planted in September or October and in 
the Spring. 
ALBERT CROUSSE. Double Light pink. 
AVALANCHE. White. A large, compactly built, globular, cone-shaped flower. 'Hie blossom 
develops a distinct creamy white color which surrounds a center of delicately tinted lilac- 
white petals with a few petals edged with tracings of carmine. Midseason. 
BARONESS SCHROEDER. Double blush pink. This is considered one of the finest Peonies 
grown. When the buds first open, they are a delicate blush, but the flower soon fades to a 
milky white. It comes into bloom late, after most of the white Peonies are gone.

blooms profusely; color light red.

late.

crimson drop in the center.
