SHAWNEE CHIEF (Bigger, 1940) Each $1.50, 3 for $3.50 
Double, midseason, dark, brilliant red. An excellent cut-flower 
red coming into bloom midseason. It opens well in the field 
and has excellent keeping qualities if placed in storage. The 
stems are about 30 inches tall; on well-established plants you

Fully double. Late midseason. Delicate blush of splendid form 
and tint. A beautiful flower.

Jones of St. Paul, ribbon winner of local and national shows,

SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saunders, 1921) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
A beautiful little flower remindful of a semi-double wild prairie 
rose. Blooms open out flat, slightly cupped. Around the edge 
is a double row of wide, rounded, rose colored petals which in 
turn surround a central cluster of short stamens with delicate 
light green carpels, tipped bright pink. Delicately beautiful.

A red, the color of the ‘,Philippe Rivoire,” but a heavier, fuller

erect about 12 inches above good foliage. Late. 
SNOW BALL 
SNOW BALL (Franklin, 1935) (8.95) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00

dependable and desirable. You will like this one. 
SNOW BROOK (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
Double, flesh white. A symmetrical dome of clean, neatly ar- 
ranged petals. Slightly fragrant. It is big if you measure it in 
any way, particularly in height. Makes a spot in the garden 
that you will return to time and again. 
SNOW WHITE (Little, 1938) Each $6.00 
A very tall, midseason medium sized bloom of pure white. 
Awarded American Home Achievement Medal for outstanding 
merit. Stock extremely scarce. 
SOLANGE 
SOLANGE (Lemoine, 1907) (9.7) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Here is a beauty that takes a long time to make its appearance 
from the opening bud. The petals are so densely packed, they 
produce the effect of two or three flowers trying to develop 
from one bloom. Color creamy white with a suffusion of buff 
and pale salmon pink. It takes so long to open that unfavorable 
weather often spots the bloom. It is so beautiful that additional 
precautions would pay big dividends in charm and beauty of the 
finished bloom. Listed with the very finest peonies grown due 
to its distinct coloring. 
SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert, 1913) (9.1) 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Dark rose pink, rather opaque in texture. Fragrant. Strong 
stems. Effective in the garden and an exhibition bloom. Very 
large and double. Midseason. Outstanding. 
SPRING BEAUTY (Nicholls, 1933) (8.43) Each $3.00 
A very early, huge rose pink bloom that has much appeal as it 
opens the season in the large double varieties. We like this 
one very well and think you will. Much admired by visitors in 
our fields. 
STARBRIGHT (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
Double white. Flowers not large but charming. A very worth 
while variety. 
STILLMAN (Kelsey, 1937) Each $3.00 
Cupped shape white with white guards. Very neat yellow center 
of narrow petals. 
SUMMER GLORY (Franklin, 1946) Each $3.00 
Midseason. Large medium pink double, which silvers into a very 
attractive and showy flower. Strong stems and medium height. 
A superb garden and landscape variety.
