Double white. 
Officinalis Rosea FI.-Pl. Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00

PAEONIA TENUIFOLIA 
Tenuifolia Flora-Plena Each $3.00, Doz. $30.00 
A rare and early flowering variety especially noted because of its fine 
fernlike, lacy foliage. Among the first to bloom with medium sized, 
brilliant, dark red, double flowers. It is not wise to ever cut the flowers 
with long stems if you want your plants to develop into nice specimens. 
Better consider this as one of your choice garden gems. 
raceful (Anemone- Flowered Proontes 
A type not very generally known, but awakening great interest and enthusiasm. The opened flowers are of extra 
wide spread, with one or more layers of broad guard petals which act as a cup to the mounted center. In place of 
the pollen-bearing stamens, the stamens and anthers are greatly enlarged into narrow, thick, twisted petaloids of 
various colors, forming a dense cushion. They produce an enormous amount of flowers, creating a riot of color in 
the garden and are superb for cutting, lasting longer than the double flowers.
