Red Peonies (Continued) 
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. $1.99 
Irwin Altman (Kelsey 1940) A very fine, clear glowing light red unlike any other 
red. Good form and pleasing color, that will be much in demand. Mr. Kelsey 
was justly proud of this origination. Full double with petals symmetrically 
arranged and very fragrant. Color is very distinctive and most desirable. $8.00 
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 
Judy Becker (Sass 1941) Late. Full rose, rich dark red. Rather dwarf habit of 
growth. Very good, considered one of the best. $5.00 
Karl Rosenfield (Rosenfield 1908) 8.8 A very large, bright crimson with a slight 
touch of blue in it. Outer petals, large and waved; center petals, incurved and 
notched. Lacks fragrance. Tall, free flowering, with good, stiff stems. Very 
fine for commercial cutting if not cut too tight in bud. $1.00
