UNUSUAL TYPES 
OF PEONIES 
Distinctly Different! 
Taken from the March number of the Peony Bulletin for 
1942. Article written by R. W. Goddard, reporting on the 
Peony Show held in Rochester, Minn., June, 1941: 
“Mrs. R. W. Goddard won the sweepstakes with an arrange- 
ment of Prairie Afire Peonies. She also received the blue 
ribbon for the best arrangement of Peonies suitable for public 
decoration. This entry was a basket of Krinkled White and 
Surugu—a combination which works well together. We have 
found Krinkled White our most consistent prize winner in 
basket arrangements. In the several shows staged here in 
Rochester no flower has so consistently caused strangers from 
all over the United States to ask: ““What is the name of that 
flower?” “Will it grow in our state?” ‘Where can we 
get it?” 
This spring we are not able to offer the variety, Surugu, 
mentioned in the above article. But we believe the fine red, 
Soshi, will easily replace it. This excellent red has a double 
row of outer guard petals surrounding yellow petaloids edged 
red. Color holds well in the sun. 
AKASHIGATA (Japan). Bright rose guard petals surround 
a heavy center of filamental petals of bright pink bordered 
with gold. A Brand Division $1.00 
KRINKLED WHITE (A. M. Brand). First noticeable in the 
bud which resembles the bud of a pale pink tulip just ready 
to burst. The bud is comparatively small and beautiful 
in effect. As it opens it expands into a large flower with 
great broad, pure white petals, like crinkled crepe paper. 
Stems tall, straight, slender but strong; clean light green 
Award of Merit, Des Moines National Show. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
SOSHI (Japan). Clear dark red in the Japanese type. Two 
rows of round petals surround a center of golden petaloids 
edged red. The color neither burns nor fades in the sun, 
and for beauty of form and richness of coloring we feel 
this fine red has not been excelled. 
A Brand Division $3.50
