Prize Winning Varieties 
We are offering for our spring sales a selected list of high 
class Peonies. They are not only prize winners but they are ex- 
cellent garden specimens. Our roots are large and of most excel- 
lent quality. If planted early this spring they should produce 
some fine flowers yet this summer. Every root is well worth 
- the price we are asking, and we feel sure you will think like- 
wise if you make a purchase from us.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANTING PEONIES 
If you are ready to plant your Peonies when they arrive, wash 
off all packing material and drop the roots into water. Just be- 
fore planting, remove the labels so the wire will not cut the roots. 
Dig a hole 2 feet in diameter and from 1 to 14 feet deep. Place 
the Peony root in the hole so the eyes on the root are 2 inches 
below the level of the ground. It may be necessary to place more 
soil back into the hole in order not to have the eyes more than 2 
inches below the level of the ground. Be sure the soil is tamped 
down well so it will not settle any more. Hold the division erect 
in the center of the hole with one hand, with the other draw in 
the soil and pack it firmly about the root so that just the eyes 
show. Give the root a pail of water and then fill in the balance 
of the hole and firm the soil tightly. Just as soon as the Peony 
appears above the ground, begin to cultivate at least twice each 
week until August Ist. By keeping the soil loose during the first 
growing season, there should be no loss.

GOLDEN BRACELET (A. M. Brand) 
A high built, pale yellow with a distinct band of golden petals 
through the flower that reminds one of a golden bracelet. $5.00. 
HANS P. SASS (Hans Sass) 
Mr. Sass has given us some of the finest Peonies we grow. He gave 
this one bearing his own name, which goes to show how much he 
thought of it. It is one of the really fine Peonies and one will 
not make a mistake in choosing it. A late, very large flower borne 
on tall strong stems. The color is a clean refreshing blush-white 
deepening to a shell-pink in the center. $5.00 
JANE ADDAMS (A. M. Brand) 
A late midseason white of medium size, beautifully formed, and 
Rose type. The petals are broad and cupped as they circle about the 
heart of the flower. The fragrance is delicate but pronounced. Two 
of our earlier white varieties, Frances Willard and Elizabeth Barrett 
Browning were named for famous women. When we found this 
beautiful white and were ready to give it a name we decided on. the 
name Jane Addams. $10.00 
JOANNE FOREMAN (A. M. Brand) 
One of our newest introductions that we think more of the longer 
we have it. A large late flower with long narrow pointed petals. A 
very brilliant bright deep pink. We feel sure when this variety is 
better known, it will be even more popular than our Martha Bulloch. 
A sure-to-please deep pink. $10.00 
LADY KATE (Vories) 
A large, flat, Rose type, light mauve-pink of perfect form. The plant 
is tall with stiff stems that carry the large flowers erect. The plant 
comes into bloom late in the Peony season, and this lovely pink is 
admired by all who see it in our field and in our show room. $2.00 
LOREN FRANKLIN (Franklin) 
It has been several years since we were able to offer this very fine 
pink originated by Mr. Franklin. We consider it one of his very 
best flowers. The color is a peculiar shade of pink seldom found in 
the Peony. The flower is pleasingly fragrant and comes into bloom 
late midseason. You will like it. $3.00 
LORCH (G & K) 
A large, fragrant white with a lemon-cream center of petals show- 
ing traces of crimson. Beautifully formed flower. $3.00 
MARY B. VORIES (Vories) 
A very large Rose-type white coming into bloom late in the Peony 
season. It is a pure white showing a few stamens with an occasional 
faint tracing of carmine. The flower has a faint, sweet fragrance 
and when it is well grown the flower is perfect. $3.00 
MINUET (Franklin) 
A late midseason, fragrant, light pink with Roselike center. In 
substance and form it has the character of an ideal flower. The 
flowers stand about 20 inches above medium tall.bushes on stiff, 
straight stems. This is one of the very best of Mr. Franklin’s manv 
fine Peonies. $5.00 
MRS. BRYCE FONTAINE (A. M. Brand) 
A midseason, rich, dark crimson that will take its place among the 
very best reds when it is better known. Holds up well as a cut flower 
and it is also a fine show flower. $5.00 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) 
A Walter-Faxon-pink coming into bloom early midseason. The 
flower resembles Phyllis Kelway and is one of the finest of all 
Peonies for use in decorative work in making up large baskets or 
vases of flowers. A distinct band of golden stamens lights up the 
entire flower and these stamens enclose a Rosebud, cup-shaped cen- 
ter of large incurving petals. Magnificent in the show room. $3.00 
MRS. LIVINGSTONE FARRAND (Nicholls) 
The most talked of new Peony in many years. This is because of 
its beautiful color. It is the pink everyone likes. It is a deeper 
shade than Walter Faxon and retains its color in the full sun much 
better. The flower is rather high and loosely built. The stock of 
this variety is scarce and our supply is limited. $15.00
