Herbaceous Peonies 
HYBRIDS 
(Roughly in order of blooming season) 
Woodwardi x tenuifolia 
This strain is in some seasons the first of all peonies to 
bloom, coming even before the single tenuifolia. The 
plants are handsome garden objects with finely cut foliage 
and a great abundance of bright crimson flowers. Select- 
ed colors, sold under number only. 
Mlokosewitschi x tenuifolia 
These hybrids are extremely early, being also among 
the first peonies to bloom. They range in color from light 
pink to cherry red. I have selected a few of particularly 
good color. | 
No. 6905. Fine bright cherry red. 
No. 6941. Fine light pink. 
Veitchi x Mlokosewitschi 
These lovely little plants come very early into bloom. 
They bear charming creamy-white flowers not large in size 
but very elegant and attractive. Sold under number only. 
Albiflora x macrophylla (tomentosa) 
All very early—before the officinalis varieties and about 
two weeks before the beginning of the Chinese peonies. 
Chalice. The largest single peony in the list. Pure white 
blooms, 8 to 10 inches across, with long silky stamens, 
rise erect on heavy stems about three feet tall. Very 
lovely. When it is in bloom it is hard to notice any 
other flower. $10.00 
Seraphim (formerly Seraph). Less tall, with flowers not 
so huge. Abundant bloomer. White single. Earlier than 
Chalice. 
Ariel. Full double. Light rose pink. Delicious cinnamon 
scent. Also very early; an extraordinary variety for its 
season. 
Celia. Semi-double with tuft of petals in the center. Col- 
or light flesh with yellow cast. Very early. 
Audrey (formerly Rosalind). Semi-double, sometimes al- 
most fully double. Very light pink, a few days earlier 
than Celia. A very effective plant in the garden. 
Shell Pink (formerly Seashell). A fine upstanding plant 
with single flowers of pale pink having a slight cast of 
yellowish green. Early and desirable.
