Peggy A warm, bright silvery pink double of med- 
ium size, the petals notched and crinkled. Stems 
short, very stiff. This is one of the earliest var- 
ieties to bloom. It has proved to be especially 
useful and long keeping as a cut flower, and 
blooming before the early old Edulis Superba, is 
quite useful for Decoration Day in some places. 
In color and form it is one of our most charm- 
ing blooms. It is irresistible and sells on sight 1.50

Pink Solange A large medium pink double, full 
petalled. Late and a sure opener. Stem tall and

Virginia Lee A glorious pink double, large and with 
exceptional charm and beauty. It is when newly 
opened, more silver and salmon than pink. It has 
a lovely glow. Opening wide, the form is especi- 
ally beautiful. Virginia Lee is very, very late, 
but unlike many late Peonies, opens freely and 
completely. We consider this one of our greatest

From Washington. Peony package is here, all in fine shape. This 
year Red Velvet, John Harvard and Rosedale really showed off, be- 
ing older, and attracted attention from all visitors. 
From Illinois. Planted only in ’51 your RadiaMt Red had three ut- 
terly gorgeaus blooms this year. And Tempest is certainly the 
answer to the peony-lover’s dream of an unfading red blossom. 
From Missouri. The peonies that I bought from you for the college 
campus have done extra well.
