1951 HAROLD B. WOLFE 
24 South 86th St., 
Belleville, Ill. 
Having propagated tree peonies for several years, I am now prepared 
to offer for sale, for delivery this fall, a few of those named varieties of 
which my stock is more plentiful. While I am growing many varieties, accumula- 
tion of a stock of any one of these sufficiently large to warrant listing it 
for sale is a slow process at best, 
Those offered for sale this year are WELL-ROOTHED divisions of 3 and 
4 year old plants. These are easily the equivalent of plants 3 to 4 years from 
graft, and will establish themselves readily. 
Complete planting and cultural instructions will be sent with each . 
order, and each division will be marked for correct replanting depth. 
VARINTIES AVAILABLE 
BANKSI - - = = - = = = = - = = = Per Division - - - §$ 6.00 
This belongs in the "Huropean" group of double-flowering 
Moutans. While many of this group are poor bloomers, 
this can not be said of Banksi, for it is very floriferous. 
Flowers are flesh-pink, borne outside foliage on good stems. 
Hardy, and will increase rapidly. 
KOKURYO-NISHIKI - - - - - - - - - = Per Division - - - § 8.00 
This is a deep, dark purple single belonging to the 
"Japanese" group. Bloom has darker, almost black splotch 
at petal base, lasts extremely well for a single. 8-year- 
old plant bore 73 blooms this spring. 
SOUVENIR DE MAXIMB CORNU - - - - - - - Per Division - - - $10.00 
One of the fine hybrids between Moutan varieties and 
species Lutea. It bears completely double blooms which 
are yellow, the petals tinged with coral to orange shades. 
Very pleasantly fragrant, and quite vigorous. Divisions 
set out in fall of 1948, much smaller than those I am 
offering for sale, are now four to four and one-half feet 
tall in my garden, in full sun. The only possible objection 
to this hybrid,--that its blooms are genera} ly. down within 
the foliage,--is more than made up for by MSS extreme beauty. 
This plant would be worthwhile, however, for its foliage alone. 
SURPRISE: - - - - - = = = = - = = Per Division - - - $12.00 
This is another of the lutea hybrids, similar to Sou. de 
Maxime Cornu but bearing its blooms on stronger stems. 
Color of blooms differ somewhat also, as they are a lighter 
yellow, with tinges ranging from salmon to purple. It is 
double, flowers generally smalier than Cornu. Vigorous 
grower also, and will increase rapidly. Fragrant.
