SINGLE AND JAPANESE TYPES 
Many of these types come into bloom very early in the season. 
Prolong your Peony display by planting 
groups of these artistic varieties in the border. The bright single -red, Laciniata, will make a bright spot in your 
garden along with the early Darwin Tulips. 
These varieties hold well in wind, rain, and sun and are splendid for house decoration as they have an 
artistic value different from the double form. 
AKASHIGATA (Japan) 
Bright rose guard petals surround a heavy center of filamental 
petals of bright pink bordered with gold. A Brand Division $1.00 
ALMA (Shaylor) 
A midseason light pink Japanese variety with bright yellow petal- 
oids, tipped gold. Center carpels greenish yellow tipped pink. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
ALTAR CANDLES (Pleas) 
A Japanese variety with flesh-pink guard petals surrounding a cen- 
ter of narrow petaloids tipped crimson. Floriferous and depend- 
able. A Brand Division $1.00 
AMA-NO-SODE (Japan) 
Probably the finest pink Japanese variety. Large, cup-shaped petals 
enclose a center of half-transformed staminodes, edged gold and 
faced pink. Carpels light green, tipped pink.

FLANDERS FIELDS (Brand) 
A single of the most brilliant red. Two rows of petals surround a 
large prominent center of golden stamens. The rich velvety petals 
have great substance and make a well-formed flower. A long lasting 
flower that does not fade in the sun. A Brand Division $2.50 
HARRIET OLNEY (Brand) 
This variety is one of the very earliest of our singles to give color 
to our fields. It opens a deep rose but gradually changes to a soft 
rose-pink. The plant is medium tall with straight stiff stems which 
hold the flower well erect. A very fine landscape variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
HELEN (Thurlow) 
This is a very fine early deep shell-pink. A double row of broad 
rounded petals surrounds a mass of golden stamens. The stems 
are tall, strong, and erect. If you are looking for a good pink 
single this variety will please you. A Brand Division $3.00 
HOGARTH (G. & K.) 
A tall, vigorous plant producing in great numbers very large lav- 
ender-pink single flowers of splendid form and substance. The great 
’ blooms are held well erect. A very fine single.

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. Especially fine for cutting.

“Referring to enclosed order, permit me to comment on your Krinkled 
White Peony. A friend planted one of these last fall and tells me she 
had fine blooms this year. She brought me one bloom last Friday (June 
18th) and it is today an exquisite bloom after five days being cut. Do not 
recall ever having a Peony last as long in the house and in the living 
room—no especial care except fresh water daily and weather seasonably 
warm. Hope I can report as favorably another year with the one I am 
ordering herewith.”

Bright scarlet. If you wish a Peony that will give you bloom 
about two weeks earlier than Officinalis Rubra, you must have this 
variety. It comes into bloom a few days earlier than the finely 
cut-foliaged Peony, Tenuifolia, but is distinctly different from the 
Chinese varieties. It is not so hard to propagate as Tenuifolia, 
and we feel that it is just as satisfactory. This is a variety that 
should be in several places in your border. Plant with red Tulips 
for a lovely combination. A Brand Division $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
L‘ETINCELANTE (Dessert) 
Dark pink. Very large flowers decidedly cup-shaped; great broad 
petals of deep bright pink, heavily margined with silver; a large 
center of bright yellow stamens. A Brand Division $1.00 
LE JOUR (Shaylor) 
The largest single white Peony. A pure white with great heavy 
petals; center an immense tuft of golden stamens. Strong, upright 
plant holds the great blooms well erect when the side buds have 
been taken off. This and Krinkled White are the two best white 
singles. Especially notable because of its pure color, fine substance 
and great size. A Brand Division $3.00 
LUELLA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A midseason creamy white with large, broad guard petals of pure 
white enclosing a dome center of petals tinted yellow. General 
effect a creamy yellow. A Brand Division $1.50 
MADELINE GAUTHIER (Dessert) 
A very large, early midseason, light flesh-pink. The waxy petals 
surround a center of yellow stamens and yellow green carpels with 
red base and tips. The plant is medium tall, floriferous, with strong 
upright stems. A splendid light pink.
