Japanese Varieties 
to recommend it. I have given this variety careful 
study for 7 years, and every year increases my in¬ 
terest in it. It should be allowed to grow in one loca¬ 
tion for at least 10 years, and it will furnish the ef¬ 
fect of a planting of our American wild rose. Ask for 
our 1939 catalog, which gives a very extended de¬ 
scription of it.

ISANI GIDUI (Japan)—9.3 
This yellow and white Japanese peony is in my 
opinion the best in its class. Notice the quantity 
and the quality of the yellow in this most beautiful 
white and yellow peony. Notice also the size and 
quality of the white guard petals. It is a very re¬ 
liable variety and can be depended upon to produce 
every year, blooms of prize winning quality. I began 
growing it 25 years ago, and it is a pleasure to ad¬ 
vise anyone to purchase it, for I am sure the pur¬ 
chaser will not be disappointed.

KING OF ENGLAND (Kelway)— 8.6 
This splendid red Japanese variety is very striking 
in mass planting and in the 1940 cloudy season its 
beauty was accentuated. It deserves high recom¬ 
mendation.

KUKENI-JISHI (Japan)—9.5 
The color of this peony is a very beautiful light 
pink, the quality of the bloom is excellent but un¬ 
fortunately, it does not retain the color as well as 
Tamate-Boku and Ama-No-Sode. It apparently does 
not multiply rapidly, but please notice it has a very 
high rating and notice also a much lowered price.

MARGARET ATWOOD (Japan)—8.7 
This beautiful white Japanese peony is not so tall 
as Isani Gidui but it closely approaches it in quality.

MIKADO (Imported by Peterson)—8.6 
This is the oldest Japanese peony in America. I saw 
it at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, 
forty-seven years ago. It is red, but the color is 
not so distinctive as in King of England. It is the 
Japanese peony known to more Americans than any 
other variety.

MRS. WARD WELCH (Good & Reese) 
This new variety gave me a very favorable surprise 
in its blooming season. Its large white flowers with 
yellow staminodes were very, very beautiful and I 
believe the plants carried more open flowers at one 
time than any other variety in the garden. I do not 
hesitate to recommend it as a most desirable variety,
