HERBACEOUS PLANTS 153 



*Her Grace. This is one of the most lovely of all the 

 Herbaceous Peonies, peach-pink with rosy tips ; a 

 superb production. 

 La Perle. A fine flower, very large with broad smooth 



petals of a lovely pink shade. 



La Tulipe. White, delicately flushed carmine, very hand- 

 some ; late-flowering. 

 *Lady Carrington. Flesh, very large, fragrant. F.C.C., 



R.H.S. Undoubtedly in the first rank. 

 Marguerite Gerard. Described as an enormous flower, flesh 



passing to pure white, centre sulphur ; very fine. 

 *Marie Lemoine. Pure white with creamy centre ; globular- 

 shaped flowers, late flowering, one of the very best. 

 Mme. Crousse. White, tipped ; an extra good one. 

 *Mme. de Galhau. Beautiful soft pink ; enormous and per- 

 fectly formed. 



*Mons. Charles Leveque. A lovely colour, opening silvery- 

 blush, and shading pure white ; very full, hand- 

 some. A.M., R.H.S. I think this is my favourite. 

 *PhUomele. Soft satiny rose, shading to sulphur-yellow. A 



fine variety for cutting. 

 Solfaterre. Beautiful primrose-yellow, rose-scented, tall 



grower. 

 Victor Hugo. Brilliant amaranth, the best of the colour. 



* These are about the pick, though all are so lovely that 

 it is difficult to individualise.
