Fine hardy plants rivaling the Kose in perfection of bloom and 
coloring and requiring little care, as they thrive and do well in any 
soil. Colors range from pure white to deep crimson. Can be planted 
in September or October and in the Spring. 
Avalanche. White. A large, compactly build, globular, cone shaped 
flower. The blossom develops a distinct, creamy white color which 
surrounds a center of delicately tinted lilac-white petals witha 
few petals edged with tracings of carmine. Midseason. 
Baroness Schroeder. Double blush pink. This is considered one of 
the finest Peonies grown. When the buds first open they are a 
delicate blush, but the flower soon fades to a milky white. It comes 
into bloom late, after most of the white Peonies are gone. 
Duchess de Nemours. Sulphur-white with greenish reflex. One 
of the finest for cut flowers. Early. 
Edulis Superba. Soft pink, early. Very large bloom of perfect 
shape, fine brilliant pink shaded violet, intermixed with narrow 
whitish petals, silvery reflex; one of best early cut flower varieties. 
Felix Crousse. Brilliant red, ball-shaped bloom; the popular color 
with florists; rather late. 
Festiva Maxima. Beautiful, large white. This is the most beautiful 
of all white Peonies. The flowers are of extra large size in clusters, 
petals as fine as silk. Pure white with a crimson drop in the center. 
Fragrans. Pink. Very fragrant.

striking variety; it comes into bloom early midseason. The flowers 
are very large, semi-rose type and slightly fragrant. 
Lord Kitchener. Cherry red. 
Louis Van Houtte. Double crimson, late. Dark red; medium 
season; very early and free blooming. The king of the dark reds, 
as seen in the distance it fairly glows like a ball of fire. 
Mme. de Verneville. Bomb type; early. Guard petals pure white, 
very large; the blooms are very full and double, of the purest 
white except a few cream colored petals and four red flakes on 
central petals. Has the true June Rose fragrance. 
Marie Lemoine. Large, very compact flower; sulphur-white, 
occasionally carmine tipped, Very late. 
Mons. Jules Elie. Large, pale lilac rose, early. One of the largest 
and most beautiful of Peonies; an immense self colored flesh pin’ 
shading just a trifle deeper towards the base of the petals.

comes into bloom late midseason. The color is an apple-blossom-
