Edward Steichen. (1949) Superb variety. Magnificent 
semi-double, like Challenger, but darker. The finest 
of this strain. $15.00 
Albiflora x Ozieri alba 
The “Halcyon” Group 
This is a quite new race of hybrids. Very fine erect 
carriage with stout stems. Flowers of heavy substance, 
faint mauve on greenish ivory ground, with dark flares. 
Unique and beautiful. Offered this year for the first 
time. $15.00 
Macrophylla x coriacea 
Also a distinctly new race. 
Picotee. White with delicate bright violet edges. Not 
for sale this year. 
Albiflora x coriacea 
The “Lavender” Group 
This is also a new race. The color is a beautiful clear 
lilac, becoming more and more delicate as the flower 
ages. Very few roots for sale. $10.00 
Veitchi x Emodi. Early Windflower 
Beresowskyi x Emodi. Late Windflower 
These two strains are so closely alike that I prefer 
to offer them under the above names. The early strain 
blooms at the very beginning of the peony season; the 
other about a week later. These plants are graceful and 
unusual. The flowers, which are only moderate in Size, 
resemble white anemones. They are slightly nodding and 
are borne on tall stems. The foliage is fern-like and very 
handsome. Sold as a strain only, the plants in each group 
being all closely alike. $5.00 
Albiflora x Emiodi 
Innocence. (1947) Very tall, 41%4 feet, of graceful stature, 
each swaying stem carrying four or five single pure 
white flowers, with greenish-white centres of trans- 
formed stamens. Unique and lovely as a garden 
plant. $10.00 
Albiflora x Otto Froebel 
The plants cover themselves with gaily held flowers 
in some new and fresh shades of pink, charming for 
cutting or in the garden, 
Hope. Semi-double, an exquisite flower, of an intense 
pure rose color, absolutely free from mauve, a color 
rare in herbaceous peonies. Comes sometimes full 
double. $5.00 
Anniversary. (1941) Fringed flowers. Like a huge pink 
Shirley poppy. $10.00 
Mercy. Beautiful salmon rose cup. Single. Very attrac- 
tive. $5.00
