OFFICINALIS HYBRIDS 
This newrrace of early bloomers is of surpassing beauty, 
giving entirely new shades, and reds more brilliant than 
any regular red variety. They start blooming about ten 
days before the common peonies, and the latest of them 
bloom with the first of the common kinds. They should be 
represented in every garden. All are Auten Originations 
unless otherwise indicated. 
N.B. Strong divisions of all Hybrids will be sent, but 
because of their peculiar shape, some may have only one 
or two eyes.
