deepening to shell pink in center. Very good landscape variety. $1.00 
Spring Beauty (Nicholls 1933) 8.43 A very early, huge, rose pink bloom that has

one very well and think you will. Much admired by visitors in our garden. $2.50

grance. Broad outer petals. Center closely twisted and overlapping. $2.00 
RED PEONIES 
Augustin d’ Hour (Calot 1867) 7.8 While this variety was originated many years ago 
and has a low rating, it is nevertheless a very desirable peony for either cut 
flowers or for the landscape. Color and form similar to Felix Crousse but with 
stronger stems. A very good red for landscape planting. $1.00 
Black Warrior (Nicholls 1941) Not yet rated. A full double, midseason bloomer, 
red-black in color. No stamens show. Medium size and height. A most inter- 
esting introduction. $3.00 
Chippewa (Murawska 1941) A double, midseason red with more than ordinary 
appeal as to color, which is outstanding. A very tall, strong grower, much ad- 
mired. Stock in demand and very limited in quantity. $5.00 
Cleopatra (Auten 1939) A very late double peony of brilliant dark red. Fragrant. 
This name has been used by others so be sure to get the Auten variety. This 
particular variety is well worth while. Very limited amount of stock to offer. 
$3.00 
Eugene Bigot (Dessert 1894) 8.3 Double type, large, late crimson with violet tinge, 
brightened by slightly silvery tips. Fragrance pleasant but weak. Stiff stems, 
good foliage. $1.00 
Fannie Lee (Vories 1924) 8.48 Midseason red. Rather tall, strong growing variety. 
Stock limited. Fortunately we have a fair stock to offer. $2.00 
Felix Crousse (Crousse 1881) 8.4 A dependable, attractive red that has given satis- 
faction for many years. A variety that will stand the test of time for as many 
years as Felix Crousse has, surely must be good. A great commercial variety 
and holds in storage with the best of them. Color is briliant crimson, of even 
tone and silky luster. Late midseason bloomer and for that reason it has added 
value. Foliage good, but the stems are not as strong as we would like. 
$1.00 
Fireplace (Kelsey 1936) Double, very dark red. Comparable or superior to Mons. 
Martin Cahuzac. Medium sized blooms. Slightly lighter at tips of petals. Flat 
formation. A better performer than Mons. Martin Cahuzac, very unusual. 
(Originator’s description). $1.50 
Ida Mellinger (Kelsey 1934) Sdig. 156 Midseason, very dark red. Fully double. Petal 
arrangement like Philippe Rivoire. Rose formation. Pleasant odor. Shows some 
purple in the red. Holds color well. Strong stems. $3.00 
Kansas (Bigger 1941) A double, midseason, very distinctive rosy-red. Excellent plant 
growth and strong stems. A very showy flower. This peony is bound to go 
places when better known. $10.00
