Catalog 1908 Peony Gardens of George Hollis
(1908) Page(s) 2. DOUBLE HERBACEOUS PEONIES SERIES B. 35 cents each Archille, (Calot 1855) delicate flesh color, very fresh coloring.
(1908) Page(s) 6. The following list includes some of my seedlings which have been exhibited several times and have received many First Class Certificates of Merit and Honorable Mentions, and which I am asked to add to my list. This being the second time they have been catalogued. I have only a small stock of many of these novelties, and from three to eight plants of the older varieties, but they are all new and worthy. When you consider the time and rare necessary to produce them they are not high. The market is supplied with too many cheap plants and the public are getting their fill of bargain varieties, for the way to get exhibition varieties is not through the bargain counter, for the rarity of the later varieties will command the top price. LIST OF NEWER VARIETIES. Adelaide E. Hollis 1907 white with a blush center, full double, large, line ...$5.00
(1908) Page(s) 4. The remainder of this Catalogue are Seedlings of my own originating. I have been obliged to temporarily withdraw some varieties, and of the remaining list I have only a few roots of some kinds. Admiral Dewey 1903, rose pink, shaded heliotrope, large high built flower....£1.50
