Double Varieties 
SHAWNEE CHIEF (Bigger) 
I have been growing this new red variety for four 
1 • • w i more garden value than any other 
red variety I know. By this I mean the habit of 
the plant, the manner in which it carries its blooms, 
and the vigor of its growth. The color is new to 
me, being a medium red and I do not know of a 
variety with which to compare it. The plant has 
very unusual value for landscape use. Mr. Bigger, 
the originator of this variety, lives in Topeka, Kan¬ 
sas, and so the peony enthusiasts who attend the 
show next year will no doubt see this variety grown 
to perfection.

SOLANGE (Lemoine)—9.7 
A cream peony with a very rich tan color at its 
center and with petals of supremely excellent quality. 
Although its roots are usually somewhat deformed, 
yet all of my plants produce good blooms regardless 
of the ugly roots. I find that planting Solange in 
stiff clay helps to invigorate and correct the roots. 
Every grower should have one or more Solange on 
account of the great beauty of its large flowers.

No 5 eye divisions this year. 
SUSAN WHITE (Brand) 
Large blooms on long stems. Pure white double 
flowers showing stamens among the petals and at 
the center of the flower. Good for interior decora¬ 
tion and the show room, but the stems are not strong 
enough for a landscape variety. For landscape use 
I suggest that all lateral buds be taken off when 
very small.

TEMPEST (Auten) 
Very brilliant dark red semi-double variety with 
strong stems. Mr. Auten, its originator, believes 
it is the best semi-double red on the market. I hope to 
be able to offer this variety again next year.

THERESE (Dessert)—9.8 
This pink peony, originated in 1904, has a rating 
of 9.8 which makes it the highest rated pink peony 
in the world. It blooms early in the season, has 
good foliage, and best of all, it has strong stems. 
I believe everybody loves this particular variety as 
I know of no bad habit or quality. Purchasers are 
fortunate to be able to buy the best pink peony in 
the world at such a modest price.
