TWO NEW HERBACEOUS PEONIES FROM EUROPE 
We offer two new herbaceous peonies which will be in great demand 
when better known. The introducer states that he strongly believes 
they will prove to be of great commercial value, especially for the cut 
flower market. These are also good exhibition varieties. Description 
below given by the introducer. 
ALEX FLEMING—This variety is the result of a cross between Bunker 
Hill and Sarah Bernhardt twenty years ago, with the aim to obtain 
an improvement on the popular cut flower variety Sarah Bernhardt 
with stronger stems and upstanding flowers. After many years of 
testing, we can with confidence, recommend this new hybrid pro- 
ducing exceptionally strong stalks, large and soft sweetly scented 
solferino-rose flowers (HCC 26/2). Among the largest of all 
herbaceous peonies. $10.00 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE—This beautiful variety is also the result of a cross- 
ing between Festiva Maxima and Mme. Eduard Doriat twenty 
years ago. This hybrid flowers a week before the well known early 
flowering variety Festiva Maxima. The color is beautiful light rose 
which changes into white, exceptionally large in size, 8” in diameter. 
An outstanding variety as a cut flower for its firm stems and early 
flowering period. $10.00
