LOWELL THOMAS THE VERY FINEST DEEP RED 
PEONY EVER INTRODUCED 
It is difficult to capture in a photograph the deep, rich red coloring and cap- 
tivating form of this excellent new Peony. To assure ourselves, and in turn you, 
of the exceptional quality of this variety, we grew this in our nurseries for three 
years before offering it for sale for the first time three years ago. (Perhaps some 
of you saw it growing just inside the picket fence around the office.) It justified 
everything the originator claimed for it—‘‘pure red, heavy foliaged and vigorous 
growing midseason variety.’’ This was substantiated by his propagator: ‘‘The 
bloom is the largest, the foliage the greenest and most beautiful, the plant habits 
perfect, the stems strong, color and fragrance excellent.’’ Nothing more need 
be said. We recommend this Peony unqualifiedly. $7.50 each
