This new race of early bloomers is of surpassing beauty, 
giving entirely new shades, and reds more brilliant than 
any regular red variety. They start blooming about ten 
days before the common peonies, and the latest of them 
bloom with the first of the common kinds. Until one has 
seen them, he can have no comprehension of their beauty. 
We suggest that for first trial you select from Chocolate 
Soldier, John Harvard, Rose Marie and Veritas. 
N. B. Strong divisions of all hybrids will be sent, but 
because of their peculiar shape, some may have only 
one or two eyes.
