We are offering this fall a number of varieties that we are not able 
to list each year, as stock is still very limited. If you note a variety 
that interests you, we advise you to purchase this fall, as many of 
these new ones will not be found in our catalog next year. We have 
many inquiries from our customers regarding Peonies we have listed 
in previous years but are not offering at the present time. We hope 
to be able to list such kinds as: Dr. Graham, Dr. Huxley, Roy God- 
dard, Oliver F. Brand, and a number of others within the next two 
years. In the meantime, take advantage of our special ones that we 

are able to supply this fall and order promptly.

inently showing throughout the flower. The central petals are a 
darker pink. The bloom is very large, often 7 to 8 inches in diam-

LA LORRAINE , (Lemoine) 
A large flower, nicely rounded, with great broad petals beautifully 
arranged. Comes into bloom midseason. Color a soft even shade 
of creamy pink. In our opinion, this flower is not fully appreciated. 
We feel that it is one of the choicest of all Peonies and should rate 
well above 9.0. From our first observation of the flower, this has 
been our constant impression. We exhibited La Lorraine at the 
National Peony Show held at Rochester, Minn., in 1940, in the 
class calling for “10 blooms of 1 variety in white or flesh-pink.” 
There were 16 entries in this class and we won first prize with 
La Lorraine, Mrs. J. V. Edlund won second in this class, and Mrs. 
Frank Beach won third. A Brand Division $2.00 
LA ROSIERE (Crousse) 
Large flowers in clusters; straw-yellow at the center, shading to a 
creamy white border—this is indeed a striking variety. Pleasing 
fragrance. The flower is loose, showing a band of yellow stamens 
which light up the flower with a yellowish cast. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
LA PERLE (Crousse) 
A large midseason light old-rose-pink. Center petals flaked with 
red. The plant is of medium height, with good stems and foliage. 
A most excellent cut flower variety. Highly fragrant. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert) 
The flower is round, of rose type. Guard petals creamy white, 
enclosing a domelike center of pure canary-yellow. Like Fanny 
Crosby, the plant is an upright grower, holding blossoms erect for 
good landscape value. Like all yellows, it must be developed in- 
side away from the sun to preserve its color. Early midseason. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm) 
A uniform apple-blossom-pink with more brilliant shadings at the 
base of the petals. The flower is large, globular in form, rose type, 
with broad petals, and a cupped center. A fragrant late midseason 
variety. A reliable bloomer. A Brand Division $2.00 
LONGFELLOW (Brand) 
Everyone concedes Longfellow one of the most popular red Peonies 
because of its distinct, fadeless color and general dependability, 
both for cutting and garden decoration. It is as striking in the field 
as in the show room. It comes into bloom early midseason. The 
plant has excellent foliage and strang, stiff stems. The flower is a 
bright crimson and is always found among the winning classes in 
the show room. A Brand Division $2.00

To us, the splendid habit and brilliant color of this plant have 
exceptional merit. We first selected it from the seed bed in 1904. 
Each succeeding year it has grown in our esteem. Color intense

fellow. From all parts of the country, we have reports of the 
wonderful qualities of Lora Dexheimer. A Brand Division $1.50 
MARIE JACQUIN (Verdier) 
A midseason semidouble flower. Purest white guards; then a collar 
of yellow stamens surrounding a row of shorter pure white petals,

Waterlily effect. The stems are erect, a clean, light green, as is 
also the foliage. A Brand Division $1.00

rose-pink. The plant is very tall and «omes into. bloom late mid- 
season. The flower is cupped rose type and often measures from 
9 to 12 inches in diameter. The stems are strong and hold the 
heavy flowers well above the foliage. A constant prize winner.

pion flower of the entire show.
