Red Japanese Peonies (Continued) 
Onahama (Gumm 1926) 8.87 The rating does not do this peony the justice it rightly 
deserves. Very tall and large cerise red guards. Staminodes tipped yellow. 
This is a most attractive variety. Stock scarce and few to offer. $2.00 
Red Star (Nicholls 1941) Tall, deep brilliant red with gold tipped staminodes of the 
same color. Carpels deep vermillion. Not yet rated but will rank among the 
good ones. $1.50 
Torpilleur (Dessert 1913) 8.0 Deep rose red or purplish carmine describes the color 
of this Japanese type flower. Center of golden tipped staminodes, flecked white. 
This is one of the most interesting Jap varieties in our planting of many fine 
ones, Makes a most delightful bouquet when used alone or placed with white 
Japanese or single peonies. Possesses a haunting beauty that is much admired. 
Give it a trial and we think you will agree with us. $1.00 
HYBRID AND SPECIE PEONIES 
Peony lovers have welcomed this group of peonies with greatest enthusiasm 
because of their early blooming habit, beautiful colors, and magnificent foliage. 
Most of the varieties bloom just after the Tree peonies and about ten days ahead 
of the well-known Chinensis varieties. 
The crown and root formation of many of the hybrids is entirely different from 
that of the regular Chinensis peonies, and it is sometimes impossible to divide them 
into standard 3 to 5 eye divisions. For this reason we do not guarantee to furnish 
all 3 to 5 eye divisions in all the hybrids and species. All will have at least one 
or more prominent eyes. 
There are several new colors in the hybrids that are not found in the regular 
Chinensis varieties, the most distinct and interesting being the salmon pinks and 
bright scarlets. 
If you want your garden to have that “new look,” plant a few of these fine 
hybrids. We are growing and testing an extensive collection of these newer hybrids 
to determine the better varieties, and as soon as sufficient stock is available of the 
best varieties they will be offered in our catalogs. The propagation of hybrids is a 
rather slow process, and it will be many years before stock is available in sufficient 
quantity to meet the demand. .
