Matilda Lewis (Saunders 1921) 9.0 A very dark maroon red that is well formed 
and fully double, Stems stiff and of medium height, holding the large blooms 
firmly erect. This variety is pleasingly fragrant and a worthy addition to our list 
of red varieties. Midseason bloomer. Foliage, dark green. Very attractive in 
any collection. $2.50 
Mons. Martin Cahuzac (Dessert 1899) 8.8 A maroon and gold creation that excites 
admiration when well grown. Considerable unhealthy stock of this variety has 
been disseminated. Can be grown to a very large size on established plants. 
Sometimes appears semi-double on newly planted stock. The entire flower has 
a silky, black luster that adds to its beauty. Free flowering, erect, stiff stems. 
$1.50 
Mr. L. van Leeuwen (Nieuwenhuyzen 1916) A Holland origination of considerable 
merit. Double type, large late midseason. Outer petals very large, cupped at 
first but relaxing later. Center petals graduate to a fine rose bud center. Color 
pure light crimson. Fragrant. $1.50 
Noel (Kelsey 1935) Double midseason. Very large 7 inch blooms perfectly finished 
on extra tall stems. This is a red double as good as many and better than most. 
Size as large or larger than any red double, Color clear, but intense. Stock very 
scarce, and only a limited amount to offer this season. $6.00 
Onondaga (Little 1935) 8.92 A midseason peony that is different. There is a rich 
metallic sheen in the coloring that is unique and when the writer first saw it 
some years ago I thought it was the nearest approach to purple I had ever seen. 
A tall growing variety with stiff stems and good foliage. $5.00
