(Catalog Value .$20.50) 
HARGROVE HUDSON (Wild & Son, 1949) Each $10.00 
This is the first peony we have ever introduced. We think it 
quite good. It is featured in color on the front cover of this 
catalogue. Hargrove Hudson is a soft even light pink and a very 
large flower. The form and texture of the flower is quite out- 
standing aS you can well see. Medium in height. It is a good 
grower that produces many fine flowers. The outer petals are 
a shade darker than the rest of the flower. 
HARRY L. BURDEN (Neeley, 1930) (8.93) Each $2.00 
A double, midseason, light rose pink that is much admired in 
our planting. Very good form with good strong stems, with the 
added inherent quality of being a free bloomer.

Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
Very large white with a faint blush of pink in the inner petals. 
When at its best a faultless flower. Awarded the Gold Medal

as well known as it should be, as the stock has been scarce.

years. Without question it is one of the finest white peonies 
we have ever seen. It is large pure white, high built, perfect 
form; truly magnificient. Tall, strong stems, healthy grower, and
