PEONIES 
PFEIFFER’S PRIDE (Pfeiffer, 1932) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Late double rose type of fine form; outer petals of a peculiar 
shade of light pink, shading deeper in the center, with a ring 
of yellow stamens surrounding a tuft of deeper pink, blotched 
with crimson. Strong, stiff stems of medium height; pleasing 
fragrance. 
PFEIFFER’S RED TRIUMPH (Pfeiffer, 1937) Each $2.00 
A red peony. Early, double rose type; deep crimson. Buds 
large, very dark, like Philippe Rivoire before opening. ‘Tall, 
strong, stiff stems. Fragrant, and as early as Richard Carvel. 
PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Riviere, ]911) (9.2) 
Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
A very bright rich crimson coming into bloom late midseason. 
The beautiful form of this flower and its uniform soft rich color 
make it a flower loved by all who see it. This is a fine show 
flower and is absolutely void of stamens. It has a pleasing fra- 
grance and although the flower is not huge, it ranks among the 
top-notch reds. So many reds lack fragrance, but this variety 
compensates for a number that are deficient in this respect. 
Medium height, wiry stems that hold the fine bloom erect. The 
flower is beautifully formed and holds its color in the brightest 
sun.

daintiness and artistic makeup. Color is rose pink, paling to 
white in center. Hollow, cupped form at first, showing many 
stamens, later developing a flat crown which covers the imper- 
fect collar. Faintly fragrant. Medium height. Very floriferous. 
PIERRE DESSERT (Dessert & Mechin, 1890)
