PEONIES 
Our Peonies are large 3-5 eyed roots. 
: 50c each; 3 for $1.25. 
8.6 Albert Crousse .(Crousse, 1883). Compact, shell pink cen- 
ter slightly flecked with crimson. 
8.1 Duchess de Nemours (Calot, 1856). Double; large; early. 
Cupped, white guards and a moderately full center of light 
canary-yellow, deepening to pale green at base of petals; 
notably fragrant. Medium tall; stems erect and strong. Ex- 
cellent foliage. 
7.6 Edulis Superba (Lemoine, 1824). Bright, clear pink. Claimed 
by many to be the best early Decoration Day peony. 
9.3 Festiva Maxima (Miellez, 1851). Large white with crimson 
markings in center. One of the best. 
8.5 Marie Lemoine. Ilvory-white, large full blossom, strong stems. 
Good cut-flower sort. 
Officinalis Rubra. Bright red. 
7.2 Queen Victoria. White, with delicate flesh tint. We consider 
this our best early white Decoration Day peony; fragrant. 
75¢ each; 3 for $2.00. 
8.5 Adolph Rousseau (Dessert-Mechin, 1890). Very tall, strong 
grower bearing loose, semi-double flowers of deep garnet. 
Early mid-season. 
9.0 Baroness Schroeder. Rose type; late. One of finest peonies 
in existence, all things considered. The whole flower gives 
the impression of a huge pyramid of baby-pink fading away 
to the purest white. Immense flowers of great substance, 
lasting well. Sweet as the June rose. 
8.4 Felix Crousse (Crousse, 1881). Brilliant red. One of the 
best. 
8.8 Karl Rosenfield. The finest all around deep red peony. Blooms 
early, large perfect blossoms on tall straight stems. 
7.3 Golden Harvest. Bomb type, mid-season. Most striking 
variety, producing large, tri-colored blooms. Guard petals 
blush pink with creamy-white center of flower overlaid and 
tipped with carmine. It combines cream, gold, white, pink, 
salmon, peach, and apricot, the color effect of the flower 
being creamy-pink. Delicate fragrance. 
8.1 Madam Calot (Miellez, 1856). Rose type; early, large, 
convex bloom. Hydrangea-pink center shaded slightly darker 
with a somewhat sulphur-tint in collar. It blooms any and 
every year, producing more flowers than any other peony 
ever introduced. Most fragrant of all peonies, the perfume 
being delicious. 
8.5 Madame Emile Galle. Rose type, late mid-season. Large 
double cup-shaped imbricated flowers; color delicate shell 
pink with touches of heliotrope and lavender. This is probably 
the most ethereally beautiful of all peonies. Not new, but 
scarce and rare. 
7.9 Madam Geissler (Crousse, 1880). Mid-season gigantic, com- 
pact, well-formed bloom, strong erect stems. Glossy pink, 
shading to bright bengal-rose on base petals. 
9.0 Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine, 1906). Color apple blossom 
pink. Very distinct variety. 
La Tendress. White, lavender tone. 
Apple Blossom. Single pink. 
NOTE: Figures indicate ratings of the peonies—10.0 equals

$1.25 each; 3 for $3.25. 
9.1 Frances Willard (Brand, 1907). Double; large late mid- 
season. Opens to pale pink, changing to white with yellow. 
suffusion in collar; mildly fragrant, tall, strong stems; heavy 
dark foliage. 
8.8 Mons. Martin Cahouzac (Dessert, 1899). Dark purple gar- 
net with black reflex. Darkest peony. 
8.4 Albiflora. Large single white. 
$1.50 each. 
8.6 Primevere (Lemoine, 1907). Bomb type; mid-season. Large 
full blooms on tall stems. Outer petals deep sulphur-yellow, 
often with a tuft of lingulated petals in center. Some claim 
it to be the nearest approach to a yellow peony of any in the 
Chinensis section. 
9.9 Le Cygne. White, most perfect. 
9.2 Mrs. C. S. Minot. Flesh pink with copper tints.
