No other May and June bloomer can 
supply the wealth of color in the garden, 
or as cut flowers in the home, as do the 
peonies. Plant the roots carefully in a lo- 
cation where they can remain for sev- 
eral years; do not let them bloom the 
first year; feed them small doses of com- 
plete fertilizer with plenty of compost as 
needed, and they will repay you year 
after year for a lifetime. 
The following varieties are the “Make 
Good” sorts and may be planted in the 
spring if the work is done before April. 
Orders received too late for spring plant- 
ing will be held until fall. Our prices 
very low. 
Cherry Hill. Semi-double garnet red on 
tall stems. Mid-season. 75c. 
Festiva Maxima. Very large semi- 
double white with red center, 75c. 
Eugene Bigot. Deep red of good size 
and blooming quite late, it extends the 
season of Peony bloom. 75c. 
Karl Rosefield. Tall growing with very 
dark red bomb type flowers. Rated a top 
performer. $1.00. 
Mons. Jules Elie. Early globular-crown 
type, and perhaps the most popular of 
pink sorts. 80c. 
Officinalis Rubra Plena. The big deep 
red that is always welcome because it is 
the first to bloom. 75c. 
Philomela. Called the yellow peony. 
Semi-double, large white flowers with a 
yellow center. A beautiful novelty. $1.00. 
Venus. Medium tall, double flower in 
light pink. 75c.

After the Painted Daisies finish their 
main blooming, these take their place 
and usually last until frost. They are 
lower growing, shorter stems, but have 
the same fully double flowers all sum- 
mer long. 
Esther Reed. Our favorite of all Shas- 
ta Daisies. Prolific producer of three to 
four-inch fully double white flowers on 
good stems. Strong plants, 35c; five for 
Silo; 
Chiffon. Double flowers, not so full as 
Esther Reed, with lacinated edges and 
some yellow in center. 40c. 
G. Marconi. Very large ragged edged 
white flowers. Best to stake it—has 
strong stems, but they cannot support ex- 
tra large flowers. 40c.
