| Keywords: Peonies for pleasure (16208627120).jpg Alsace Lorraine With an indefinable charm <br> 163 ALSACE LORRAINE Lemoine 1906 Semi- <br> rose type; late midseason Evidently has La <br> France blood in it having the same habit of <br> growth of that famous variety; growth erect <br> upright with the foliage standing off in a <br> marked way from the plant Very large im- <br> bricated flowers in clusters The petals are <br> pronouncedly pointed and the center petals are <br> arranged like a water lily The color is a rich <br> creamy-white center of the flower delicately <br> tinted brownish-yellow or Havana brown; is <br> best described as a fried butter color of a pe- <br> culiar reddish-brown A very striking shade <br> unlike any other Peony we know except Claude <br> Gelee and Solange A most attractive flower <br> Extra fine Easily scores the six points of ex- <br> cellence Alsace Lorraine has an indefinable <br> charm that is very pronounced No collection <br> is complete without it <br> 281 AMAZOIVE Lemoine 1S99 Rose type; <br> early midseason Well formed Large perfect <br> flower guards rosy-white center creamy- <br> white flecked crimson; fragrant <br> 98 ANDRE LAURIES Crousse 1881 Rose <br> type; very late Very dense compact globular <br> bloom of the largest size Color dark tyrian- <br> rose or solferino-red shading deeper in the <br> center with red reflex; guards same color oc- <br> casionally splashed with green center mottled <br> with white An all around good Peony <br> 37 ANEMONEFLORA RUBRA Guerin 1854 <br> Anemone type; midseason Deep brilliant ty- <br> rian-rose carpels dark crimson Strong tall <br> free bloomer in clusters A good variety <br> 540 ARCHIE BRAND Brand 1913 Bomb type; <br> midseason prize Peony An enormous flower <br> of an even deep seashell-pink with silvery <br> border The petals closely massed form a <br> solid head which is surrounded by broad <br> drooping guard petals There is a charm about <br> this flower in its even soft uniform color and <br> the peculiar perfection of its form which at- <br> tracts the eye from a long distance One of <br> the chief attractions about it is its delicate <br> fragrance which closely resembles that of the <br> Rose We believe it has a stronger true Rose <br> fragrance than any other pink variety This <br> delightful fragrance added to the charming <br> beauty and grace of the flower makes this va- <br> riety especially fine for cut blossoms It rivals <br> the Rose in fragrance and beauty and far sur- <br> passes it in size <br> 102 ASA GRAY Crousse 1SS6 <br> Semi-rose type; midseason Prom <br> the formation of the flower it is <br> designated as a double decker <br> Very large full imbricated bloom; <br> guard petals salmon-flesh center <br> of bloom very full and perfectly <br> formed; color delicate lilac plente - <br> ously sprinkled with minute dots <br> of deeper lilac Striking imposing <br> and beautiful Here is a flower <br> you want to linger over No Peony <br> produces more bloom year in and <br> year out than does Asa Grav Fra- <br> grant and distinct This variety <br> at a local flower show swept the <br> boards <br> 84 A TROSAX GUINEA Calot <br> 1850 Semi-double; midseason A <br> marvelous flower of globular form <br> Color brilliant rosy-magenta outer <br> guards streaked with white <br> Strong vigorous grower with <br> spreading habit; free bloomer <br> 23 AUGUSTE LEMOND2R Calot <br> 1865 Anemone type; midseason <br> Superb brilliant red with velvety <br> finish; fragrant One of the very- <br> best reds for hedge effect or for <br> landscape work where color effect <br> is desired Many who saw this <br> superb variety in our nurseries in <br> bloom in June were highly im- <br> pressed with its beauty and great <br> value Fragrant <br> 170 A UGUSTE VILLAUME <br> Crousse 1895 Rose type; late <br> Enormous full round bloom with <br> closely set large petals; indeed the <br> petals are unusually large for a <br> Peony A uniform color through- <br> out the entire flower of rich vio- <br> let-rose Very fragrant A Peony <br> which when well done is one of <br> the very fetching sorts This and <br> all late sorts need watering to <br> properly develop them <br> 22S AUGUSTIN d'HOUR Calot <br> 1867 Syn Marechal MacMahon <br> Bomb type; midseason Extremely <br> large showy perfectly built bloom; primary <br> petals narrow and built up close and high <br> Color very deep rich brilliant solferino-red <br> with slight silvery reflex; the largest of all <br> red Peonies Indispensable This is as high <br> class a Peony in its way as Felix Crousse al- <br> though they are entirely distinct and in no <br> way conflict It is a taller grower and larger <br> flower than Felix Crousse <br> 17 AURORE Dessert 1904 Semi-rose type; <br> late Extra large flat loose bloom Color <br> lilac-white with collar of milk-white flecked <br> with crimson guards prominently flecked car- <br> mine The very center of the bloom is of the <br> same shade as the guards Fragrant Superb <br> Commenting on this variety at the New York <br> Show Mr Bonnewitz said Mr G made a <br> display of Aurore which just made you think <br> of an early spring morning When I first saw <br> it I involuntarily said 'Sunrise ' and a learned <br> friend at my elbow said 'Exactly right for <br> that is what Aurore means ' <br> 132 AVALANCHE Crousse 18S6 Crown type; <br> late midseason It has taken some people a <br> number of years to tumble to the fact that <br> this is a first-class Peony This magnificent <br> variety opens like a rose bud Color pure <br> snow-white with a few delicate pencilings <br> of carmine on the edge of the central petals; <br> very waxy and chaste; fragrant One of the <br> most superb Peonies in fact it is unsurpassed <br> by any other white Peony The variety Al- <br> batre is identical with Avalanche <br> 574 AVIATEUR REVMOND Dessert 1915 A <br> very large and beautiful flower; bright cherry- <br> red shaded garnet and brilliant amaranth; <br> very showy <br> 279 BARONESS SCHROEDER Kelway 18S9 <br> Rose type; late Taken all around this is one <br> of the finest Peonies in existence You may <br> pick three flowers and one of them will have a <br> delicate faint lingering reflex of gold in the <br> center the next may have the center suffused <br> with heliotrope and the next a pinkish glow <br> the whole flower giving the impression of a <br> huge pyramid of baby-pink fading away to <br> purest white Its immense flowers of great <br> substance with high chalice-shaped center are <br> freely produced lasting a long time It is as <br> sweet as the rose with the true June rose fra- <br> grance and in form and outline surpassing <br> any of the rose family <br> Page Fourteen <br> Miss Ella V Baines Springfield Ohio 41910033 131358 64860 Page 14 Text http //www biodiversitylibrary org/page/41910033 1917 10 1080/00222939009460791 Ella V Baines Firm ;
