 i-onimittee of the American I'eony So- 

 ciety, working with L. I>. Ratchelor, in 

 ch;irge of the test jdots .at Cornell Uni-

Peony M. Jules Elie, to Pinks What Festiva Maxima is to Whites. 



cuttings. Take the latter before they 

 exceed three inches in length. Those 

 with a heel are to be preferred, as they 

 root the earliest and are less liable to 

 damp off than those cut below a leaf. 



La Fiancee is being sold by some as 

 albifiora, Japan Single White and albi- 

 flora The Hride. A'ery similar to La 

 P^iancee, if not identical, is Snowflake.

rading under the following names: 

 liridesniaid, .Mme. Duiutle and W.ater

 Jacquin only, as it was originated and 

 published as such four to fourteen years 

 before it appeared under the afore- 

 mentioned synonyms.

 flora, which was originated by Guerin

(Iramlifiora alba laciniata is in reality 

 grand iflor.'i carnea plena, and should

 nated by Lemoine in 1899.
