RED PEONIES (Continued) 
Kansas (Bigger 1941) A double, mid-season, very distinctive rosy-red. Excellent 
plant growth and strong stems. A very showy flower. This peony is bound to 
go places when better known. $5.00 
Karl Rosenfield (Rosenfield 1908) A very large, bright crimson with a slight 
touch of blue in it. Outer petals, large and waved; center petals, incurved and 
notched. Lacks fragrance. Tall, free flowering, with good, stiff stems. $1.00 
Longfellow (Brand 1907) Mr. Brand has brought out many fine reds, but none 
finer than Longfellow. A double, mid-season, bright crimson, intensified by 
golden yellow stamens near center. Like many reds, it is lacking in fragrance. 
Does not fade and is most satisfactory for cutting as well as garden decoration. 
Medium height, good foliage and a free bloomer. $1.50 
Lowell Thomas (Rosenfield 1933) Early, semi-double, brilliant dark crimson. Anew 
grower, excellent for landscape planting. 
Marian Pfeiffer (Pfeiffer 1925) Double, late mid-season brilliant red. Strong stems. 
One of the purest reds in commerce. Fine cut flower. $1.50 
Mons. Martin Cahuzac (Dessert 1899) A maroon and gold creation that excites 
admiration when well grown. Can be grown to a very large size on established 
plants. Sometimes appears semi-double on newly planted stock. The entire 
flower has a silkly, black luster that adds to its beauty. Free flowering, erect, 
stiff stems. $2.00 
Noel (Kelsey 1935) Double mid-season. Very large 7-inch bloom. A perfect flower 
on extra long stems. Color is clear and intense. Considered one of the best 
reds. $4.00 
Philippe Rivoire (Rivoire 1911) Double type, early, mid-season. A very dark 
crimson, with a blackish.sheen. Flowers are of medium size, but have seen 
them extremely large under special handling. Has the pronounced fragrance of 
a Gruss an Teplitz rose and a variety we can recommend most heartily. Medium 
height, wiry stems that hold the fine bloom erect. The flower is beautifully 
formed and holds its color in the brightest sun. $2.00 
Priam (Sass 1930) Double, mid-season variety. A well formed, deep, rich, dark 
red. It has proved a very popular variety and deservedly so. There is need for 
good reds and this is one of them. Stem stiff and rigid. Rather tall grower. $2.50 
Richard Carvel (Brand 1913) A full, loose, double, very early, fragrant red. A good 
cut flower variety and holds its color well. $1.50

stems. Mild fragrance. A very free bloomer. $2.00 
Ruth Clay (Kelsey 1935) Double, early, mid-season. A rich living red that is 
different. It is a truly outstanding red that should be in every choice collection 
of peonies. No matter how many red peonies you have you will find Ruth 
Clay different. $4.00 
Shawnee Chief (Bigger 1940) Dark, brilliant red. An excellent cut flower with good 
keeping qualities. Blooms freely. $1.50

dark red. Color is unfading even in the brightest sun. Tall, stiff stems. Very

color. $1.50
