Peony Classification. 351 



BERTRAND, GENERAL. 



Species — P. albiflora. Originated by Guerin, 1845. 



Donated by Dessert. 



Description inbrief — Large, compact, medium dark pink, typical globularbomb type 

 (solferino red 3 [157]); central petals have slight silver tip. Early. Extra 

 good variety; good commercial bloom. 



Description in detail — Guards clearly differentiated; central petals narrow and 

 nearly uniform through the entire bloom. Bloom is not transformed; green- 

 ish white carpels; few hairs and carmine stigma. Odor pleasant. 

 Plant is a very strong, upright grower. Free bloomer in clusters. 



Remarks — Some growers have sent " Edulis Superba " under this name, but there 

 should be no confusion, as "Edulis Superba" has a large fiat crown with a 

 small collar, while "Gen. Bertrand" is a typical bomb. The color of the two 

 is the same, as well as the blooming season. 



"Gen. Bertrand" has been sent out as "Grandifiora rosea," also. This 

 variety has a somewhat larger, more loosely made bloom. 



Again, this variety has been confused with "Modeste Guerin." The two 

 sorts are very similar, but "Gen. Bertrand" is slightly lighter in color and 

 blooms two or three days later. 



Synonym — "Madame Furtado" seems very similar, if not identical with "Gen. 

 Bertrand." (Note.) 



Correction to Bulletin 2§q, which incorrectly describes this as a rose type. 



Note — The opinion of the committee is confirmed by observations of Mr. A. Dessert.

clusters,
