TWO NEW HERBACEOUS HYBRIDS 
FROM EUROPE 
We offer two new herbaceous peonies which will be in great demand, 
when better known. The introducer states that he strongly believes they 
will prove to be of great commercial value, especially for the cut 
flower market. These are also good exhibition varieties. Description be- 
low given by the introducer. 
ALEX FLEMING—This variety is the result of a cross between Bunker 
Hill and Sarah Bernhardt twenty years ago, with the aim to obtain an 
improvement on the popular cut flower variety Sara Bernhardt with 
stronger stems and upstanding flowers. After many years of testing, 
we can with confidence, recommend this new hybrid producing ex- 
ceptionally strong stalks, large and soft sweetly scented solferino- 
rose flowers (HCC 26/2). 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE—This beautiful variety is also the result of a crossing 
between Festiva Maxima and Mme Eduard Doriat twenty years ago. 
This hybrid flowers a week before the well known early flowering 
variety Festiva Maxima. The color is beautiful light rose which changes 
into white, exceptionally large in size, 8'' in diameter. An outstanding 
variety as a cut flower for its firm stems and early flowering period.
