Largo (Vories 1929) 8.98 A lovely, soft medium pink Japanese type, with a center 
of prominent yellow staminodes. While introduced in 1929, it is not as well 
known as it should be for it is a splendid introduction worthy of a place in any 
fine planting of peonies. Has much class and the substance of the petals is 
exceptionally firm. $8.00 
Noonday (Kelway) 8.57 A deep, bright pink, Japanese type, with a bright yellow 
center. Medium height and a good grower. This makes a fitting companion to 
several other good pinks of this type. $1.25 
RED JAPANESE PEONIES 
Charm (Franklin 1931) 9.22 This peony was very aptly named by Mr. Franklin, 
- for it does possess charm in a high degree. A very dark-red Jap. Good, up- 
right grower. Vigorous and late. A lustrous, satiny sheen on the petals gives 
it a very classy effect. One of the best of its color. We think it slightly better 
than Fuyajo, which it somewhat resembles in color and formation of flower. 
$3.00 
Instituteur Doriat (Doriat 1925) 8.85 We consider this one of the very good Japa- 
nese types of peonies. It is most interesting and worth-while. Color a fine 
red, and each petal tip is tinted white, making a very novel effect as well as 
pleasing combination of color. $1.50 
Some Ganoko (Origin unknown) 9.0 Japanese type, large midseason, Color a dark, 
clear crimson, with a broad, flat center of many crinkled, light buff staminodes, 
tinted with rose-red markings. Carpels pale-yellow. Fairly strong growth, 
with a spreading, sprawling habit. Height about two feet. Foliage dark green, 
broad and ruffled. $1.50 
Soshi (Millet) 8.88 Here is a variety that we can unhestitatingly recommend to~ 
anyone wanting a fine, red Japanese type of flower. Has a bright golden center 
of golden petaloids that greatly enhances its beauty. Will not fade in the sun 
and is held stiff and erect on strong stems. $2.00 
Torpilleur (Dessert 1913) 8.0 Deep rose red or purplish carmine describes the color 
of this Japanese type flower. Center of golden tipped staminodes, flecked white. 
This is one of the most interesting Jap varieties in our planting of many fine 
ones, Makes a most delightful bouquet when used alone or placed with white 
Japanese or single peonies. Possesses a haunting beauty that is much admired. 
Give it a trial and we think you will agree with us. $1.50

and that is a variety that would considerably extend the period of bloom. 
The foliage is distinct and interesting and the bloom will thrill you with delight.

peonies and you will find some unusual and really beautiful creations in this hybrid
