Hiermes Sport No. 1. This all pink Sport of Hermes is the most common one, and is to be 
found on practically all Hermes plants of any size. So far as known it has not been given a 
definite name in foliage. Growth, blooming season, fragrance and hardiness are inherited 
from the parent. Own Root, 18”-24”. 
Derbiana. A double red of rosebud form when first open; when fully expanded the golden 
stamens show among the inner petals of this 4 to 414-inch flower. Dark green glossy foliage. 
Bushy growth; midseason flowering. Own Root, 30’-36”. 
October Joy. (One of our hybrids.) A loose, peony-flowered form in which the stamens 
sometimes show and at other times it develops into a semi-double flower. The color of the 
medium-sized blooms, which measure 3 to 4 inches in diameter, is best described as deep 
wine-red to blue-red. A tall, fast grower, with large, round, dark green foliage, this variety 
comes into full bloom in early October—hence its name. Own Root, 24”-30”. 
Purplerose. (Our seedling.) New. Like a loose peony in its form, this rose-red to purple- 
wine-red variety, with its 4-inch flowers, is notable for the way in which it changes with the 
weather. In warm weather the petals take ona deep pink tone; during cool periods the petals 
become rose-red; in cold weather the shade is purple to lavender. The stamens are inter- 
mingled with the petaloids in the inner portion of the bloom. Glossy deep green foliage 
characterizes this vigorous, spreading variety. Because of its curious performance we consider 
it a novel addition to our collection. Own Roost, 18”-24”.
