late midsea- <br> son If it were not for the fact <br> that comparisons are odious we <br> would make the statement and <br> without fear of successful con- <br> tradiction that there is no va- <br> riety of white Peonies that has <br> so many points of excellence as <br> this same old Duke of Welling- <br> ton A vigorous tall growing <br> plant with stems sufficiently <br> strong to stand upright Flowers <br> of enormous size really gigantic <br> pyramidal in shape with high <br> built center Two rows of large <br> broad guards of pure snow-white <br> center of flower sulphur-white <br> free and fragrant; an ideal cut <br> flower <br> 41 DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS <br> Calot 185G Crown type; early <br> Blooms several days after Fes- <br> tiva Maxima Superb cup-shaped <br> s u 1 p h u r-white flowers with <br> greenish reflex that lights tip <br> the entire flower; gradually <br> changes to a pure snow-white <br> without spot or blemish In all <br> Peonies there is nothing so ex- <br> quisitely chaste and beautiful as <br> this variety in the half open bud <br> state In growth it is entirely <br> distinct being upright and <br> branching Certainly a grand <br> Peony Fragrant <br> 796 DUCHESS OP TECK Kelway <br> late midseason; large full flower <br> Duches e de Nemours A grand Peony <br> Rose type; <br> with pure <br> white waxy petals with yellow stamens show- <br> ing Looks like an improved Couronne d'Or <br> 180 EDMOND ABOUT Crousse 1885 Rose <br> type;

petals are evenly shaped one like <br> the other opening horizontally into a gigantic <br> flat flower markedly distinct in this respect <br> Very large full double flowers in immense <br> clusters We have never seen the flowers pro- <br> duced singly on a stem Color a rich tyrian- <br> rose or red with a wide border of silvery-rose <br> The color of this Peony lacks the violet shade <br> seen in so many Peonies and this adds great- <br> ly to its attractiveness An exceedingly free <br> bloomer Fragrant; magnificent <br> 94 ELIE CHEVALIER Dessert 1908 Crown <br> type; midseason Opens a large globular <br> bomb developing into a high built crown <br> forming a cup of beautifully imbricated petals <br> Color a uniform tyrian-rose center elegantly <br> flecked with crimson Tall grower;
