PEONIES 
$1.00 each, 3 for $2.75. 
Avalanche. A choice creamy white coming into bloom late in the season. 
The flower is large and compact, with a collar of creamy white petals sur- 
rounding a center of delicately tinted lilac-white petals occasionally edged 
carmine. A choice cut flower and also a fine show flower. 
Claire Dubois. A beautiful satiny pink particularly valuable because it is 
late and an excellent keeper. 
Karl Rosenfield. The finest all around deep red peony. Blooms early, large 
perfect blossoms on tall straight stems. 
Reine Hortense. A uniform hydrangea-pink, with guard and center petals 
marked crimson. This is a variety that gives universal satisfaction and is 
both a show and garden variety. The plant is tall with long stiff stems. 
The flowers are slightly fragrant. A midseason variety. 
Rosy Dawn. A single peony that opens a soft pink, fading to pure white. 
Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine, 1906). Color apple blossom pink. Very distinct 
variety. 
Mixed Colors at 40c each, 3 for $1.00 (No choice of color.) 
$1.50 each, 3 for $4.00, postpaid. 
Primevere (Lemoine, 1907). Bomb type; mid-season. Large full blooms on 
tall stems. Outer petals deep sulprur-yellow, often with a tuft of lingulated 
petals in center. Some claim it to be the nearest approach to a yellow peony REOR Nie ABC BERAEUSRE. 
of any in the Chinensis section. 
Souvenir de Louis Bigot. Flowers large, convex, rose-form with fringed 
petals. Bright Bengal-rose, slightly tinged carmine at the base, changing 
to salmon-pink with silvery reflex. The color of this pink Peony does not 
fade in the sun. 
SHASTA DAISY—Esther Red 
The first fully double ‘Shasta Daisy’’, with large pure white flowers, resembling a 
a double Pyrethrum, on strong 2-ft. stems. Very floriferous, invaluable for border 
decoration or cutting purposes. One of the finest of recent introductions from Eng- 
land. May to Oct. Stock very scarce, and will be for a year. 75¢ each. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These fine early Chrysanthemums were especially selected for you from the fields of 
The Wayside Gardens. They are early flowering, hardy and specially desirable field grown 
plants, that will bloom the first year in profusion. 
50c each, 3 for $1.45, dozen $5.00. 
Autumn Lights. Coppery bronze, semi-double blossoms with a gleaming orange over- 
cast, cover the compact branchy plant. Healthy, attractive, dark green foliage. Com- 
pact, tidy growth, plus unusual hardiness, feature this useful introduction. Height 
1% feet. 
Burgundy. Rich cerise-crimson, acquiring deeper amaranth tones in the center, describes 
the flowers of this lovely double, sweet-scented Chrysanthemum. The fine clusters 
of bloom are on heavy stems. Height 214 feet. In full flower October 5th. 
Cydonia. Brilliant orange-mahogany blooms of fine double form. 
Ember. In color, a brilliant glowing bronze that stands out conspicuously in comparison 
with any others in this color. It is, in fact, a combination of coral and orange shades 


that cannot be described accurately, ever changing with the light, but always com- SHASTA DAISY, ESTHER READ 
pelling. The bloom is not too 
CHRYSANTHEMUM double and is of excellent form, 
2 inches in diameter. Flowering in mid-October. Height 21 feet. 
Eugene A. Wander. Have you longed for a big, hardy ‘Mum that would flower before those early 
October frosts? Well, here it is—a brilliant, glistening golden yellow beauty in full bloom by 
September 20th and so free that the stocky plant is almost obscured by its branching clusters 
of perfectly formed double flowers. Hardy and easily grown, it requires no special pinching or 
handling to produce flowers 41 to 5 inches across—larger if disbudded. Fine also for pot 
culture. 
Jean Cumming. Large flowers of purest white, with softest yellow and bluish shading at the center 
of the buds. Growth erect and wiry, height medium. Exceptional keeping qualities. 
Lavender Lady. This fragrant flower brings true lavender to the garden Chrysanthemums. No 
trace of mauve, pink, or magenta appears under any light conditions. The silvery lavender 
flowers are 3 inches or more across and appear in perfect branching sprays. Unusually hardy. 
Height 21% feet. In full flower October 8th. 
Milky Way. Another Bristol departure and the forerunner of a distinct and valuable type. Remark- 
able for the intensity of its milk white coloring in the open flower, contrasting with the creamy 
yellow buds; again for the luxuriant rich green foliage clothing the stem right down to the soil. 
The handsome, semi-double, informal blossoms, with broad, overlapping petals of unusual tex- 
ture, carried in branching sprays of 5 to 6, are more frost-resistant than any other early white 
kind. Plant is very hardy and vigorous. A different and valuable addition—in full flower late 
September. Height 21% to 3 feet. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont III. The quality of iridescence is so pronounced in this fine new Chrysanthe- 
mum that accurate description is difficult. The dominant shade is a soft peach tint blended with 
mauve undertones; the whole overcast with an indescribably luminous sheen. It is entirely distinct 
and altogether lovely. The large, full, perfectly formed flowers are carried on tall, branching 
stems, making a strong, sturdy 21/-foot plant. In full flower in early October, it will prove a 
grand addition to the garden and an invaluable cut flower variety. 
Pale Moon. Delightful, fluffy, sulphur-yellow blossoms completely cover the plant. Loosely 
double flowers, 21/ inches across, of excellent keeping quality. The aroma is that of butternuts. 
Height 2 feet. In full flower October 5th. 
Symphony. Mauve-rose overcast soft coppery rose, with the sheen of a damask silk. The flower 
in maturing acquires silvery lilac and faint copper tones, very lovely but elusive and impossible 
to describe with accuracy. The flowers are large, 3 inches across, double, nicely formed, and 
carried on heavy, sturdy stems, several to a spray or cluster. Free-flowering. Height 21/2 to 3 feet. 
The Moor. Best described as amaranth-purple or port-wine-red. It is noted for its intensity and 
brilliance in the garden. Flowers 3 inches across, double, produced freely and keep well when 
cut. In full flower in late September. Height 2 feet.
