This Spring and Enjoy the Beautiful Flowers These Fine Roots Will Give 
You Yet This Season If You Plant Early 
Many of our customers who have received our fall catalogs which list a complete 
line of Peonies are disappointed to find so few varieties offered when they receive 
our spring book. 
For the past few years we have been extremely short of help, and this fall was no 
exception. Our fall was also a rainy one and by the time we had filled our many orders 
for both Peonies and Lilacs, cold weather set in and we were unable to get into our 
fields to dig all the stock we expected to have for our spring orders. For this reason 
our spring list is again limited. We have many fine pinks which we are describing 
below and we feel sure we can fill all orders for them. However, if we should be un- 
able to do so, we will hold your order until fall and fill it at the same price. 
RELIABLE PINK PEONIES 
CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A very late light pink that gradually fades to an almost pure white 
with a greenish tint at the base of the petals. The plant is strong 
with tall stems that carry the flowers erect. Although a late va- 
riety it opens well and we consider this in a class with Georgiana 
Shaylor. A Brand Division $2.00 
ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand) 
Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christiansen 
is so distinct from the delicate pinks in coloring as to be a real 
acquisition. The flower is exceedingly large, both on the plant in 
the field and when handled as a cut flower. Petals are long, narrow, 
and heavily serrated on the edges. The flower first opens cup- 
shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Christiansen receives 
the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like it better every year 
A Brand Division $3.00 
EUGENIE VERDIER (Calot) 
An ideal pink variety, coming into bloom early midseason. Semi- 
rose type. Opens a fresh hydrangea-pink with primary petals 
lighter, and the center of flushed crimson. Fragrant. An ideal 
show flower. 
HANS P. SASS (Hans Sass) 
A very tall variety producing large flowers of a delicate shade 
of light pink, deepening in color toward the center. As the 
flower ages, the broad petals open out cup-shaped like a Tulip. 
A fine Peony. A Brand Division $3.50 
MADELON (Dessert) 
A beautiful silvery pink with imbricated petals slightly touched 
with carmine. The flower is of medium size, slightly fragrant, 
and comes into bloom late in the season. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
MARGARET LOUGH (Gumm) 
This is one of Mr. Gumm’s introductions that we were instantly 
taken with when we first saw it some few years ago. We planted 
it in our fields and have now seen it in bloom some four to five 
seasons and we like it better the more we see it. It’s a flesh-pink 
of pleasing form which in itself makes it distinctive. A “must 
have.” A Brand Division $5.00 
MLLE. LEONIE CALOT (Calot) 
A medium sized light flesh-pink with a sweet fragrance. The plant 
is of medium height with good stems and foliage and comes into 
bloom late midseason. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.5 MME. EMILE GALLE 
7.9 MODELE DE PERFECTION 
A Brand Division $1.50 
[14] 
(Crousse) 
A delicate shell-pink showing faint touches of heliotrope and lav- 
ender. It comes into bloom late in the season and is often mistaken 
for Tourangelle. The plant is strong, medium tall, and a very free 
bloomer. Extra fine in the bud. A splendid cut flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
(Crousse) 
This is another of the older varieties that we have never been 
willing to discard. The color is a flesh-pink tipped with silver, 
marked with bright rose deepening in the center. The flower is 
compact and of distinct form. A free blooming variety with good 
stems and foliage. Late. A Brand Division $1.00
