RED SINGLE PEONIES 
Arcturus (Auten 1933) 9.3 A single, velvety, dark red variety of recent introduction. 
This is one of the very best singles of this color we have at this time. 
| $4.60 
Cornie Moore (Kelsey 1934) A deep, single red (garnet), with a glossy sheen. 
Flowers large and showy. Plant strong, a vigorous grower with red stems. 
Foliage dark green. Here is a fine, outstanding single that will be freely grown 
when better known. There is room for good singles and this is one of them. 
We are indeed fortunate in being able to offer stock as we are co-purchasers of 
the originator’s entire stock. $5.00 
Gopher Beauty (Franklin 1933) Single, early, very bright red. A very attractive 
color that is most pleasing. Mr. Franklin devoted most of his attention to doubles, 
but did bring out a few outstanding singles to his credit. This is one of them. 
$2.50 
Inca (Nicholls 1941) Bright scarlet rose single. We have a good stock of this fine 
single peony and we feel it is a worth while addition to your planting of single 
peonies. Rarely seen in peony plantings or at peony shows due to the scarcity 
of stock. Col. Nicholls has a very fine single in this variety, but he has never 
been as much impressed with the singles as he has been with the full doubles 
and for that reason has not offered it for sale. $2.50 
Jimmie Franklin (Franklin 1928) 8.6 An early red single that is fairly tall. An im- 
posing flower that is huge in size. Color an even shade of dark red. Saw this 
in the originators garden when first introduced and was much impressed with 
it. $3.00 
La Salle (Auten 1931) 9.08 Another Auten origination of merit. Color light red. 
A very fine landscape variety. Well worth a place in any garden. Stock rather 
limited. $2.50 
L’Etincelante (Dessert 1905) 8.4 A very large midseason single. Cupped flowers of 
very bright pink, each petal having a lighter, almost a silver border. Stamens, 
bright, golden yellow. Have seen this variety placed in the red class at some of 
our Peony Shows and it could not be thrown out for incorrect color placement; 
tall, stiff stems, with excellent foliage. Flowers are of exceptional size and 
produce a splendid landscape effect. $1.00 
Man O’ War (Brand 1936) 9.33 Single, early bloomer. Very large, bright red. Strong 
stems. Very showy. Makes a splendid showing in the garden planting. Feathers 
slightly some seasons, $4.50 
Othello (Dessert 1908) A single, fine dark red peony. Little known or grown in 
American Gardens. Have a fair stock to offer at this time to our customers. $3.00 
JAPANESE PEONIES 
These can easily be distinguished from the single varieties, as they bear no pollen. 
They also have a double row of petals instead of a single one to be found in the 
single varieties. 
This type of flower holds well in the garden and makes an excellent cutting 
variety for the house, lasting as long as the double type bloom. 
The wide variety of color and variation of colors, combined with unusual forma- 
tion and arrangement of petals and petaloids, make the Japanese type of peony 
most artistic and pleasing to the eye. Perfectly hardy in every respect and will 
sometimes withstand late freezes better than the double type without suffering 
damage to the bloom.
