earlier. From correspondence witli A. 

 Dessert. 



There liiis l)cen some confusion con- 

 cerning liii Fiancee and albillora, and 

 many growers are selling tlie former 

 variety under tlie latter name, hut tJie 

 true priiniti\e albifiora is much inferior 

 to the variety La Fiancee. Albillora is 

 a lower grower, with snuiller bloom, not 

 nearly so free a bloomer as l^a Fiancee. 



dined to blight like Fdouard Andre, 

 with which it has sonu^times been con 

 fused. Kubra triumphans is a much 

 looser bloom, nearly single, and more of 

 a crimson than Atrosanguinea. Jussieu 

 does not exist as a distinct variety, but 

 is a synonym of Atrossinguinea; the 

 same is true of Atrosanguinea superba. 



Fulgida has been sent to the ]>lots as 

 Deh-udiei by some growers, but Fulgida 



Tree Peony Queen Elizabeth. 



]t is. however, really La Fiancee which 

 iisuaily occurs under the name of albi 

 flora in this country. 



The bloom of Mnie. Teissier is very 

 similar \n Mnie. Forel; however, it is 

 slightlv larger and borne nu sliorter 



stems. , . , , , 



There is .-i variety being sold under 

 the name of Aurora, which is a bright 

 pink rose type, the exact identity .d 

 which is unknown at present. '1 here is 

 :,lso a varietv originated by -Mr. Dessert 

 in ir»Ol known as Aurore. which should 

 not be confused with Aurora. it does 

 uot o.cur. however, in the Coinell jdots 



lOxcuiisite is similar to albillnr.i and 

 .lapan Single \Vliite, but ha^ a mm,, up 

 right habit. 



Some growers rejiort Ifiibens a< nearly 

 semi .loulde on Avell-established jdant-. 

 ])rodu.-ing blooms somewhat similar m 

 form to Slarie ,Iac(|uin. 



I'etile b'eiice is ludicved to be similar. 

 if n<d iilentiral with 1 1 iinNli-cUa i. 



Fallas iniglil safidy br exi.c.-trd 1(. dc 

 voloi. into a 1;ill doiibb^ in years to 

 come. 



There has 1 <•• n smne .•oiitii-ion be 

 tween Kdoiianl Andre and Deladie. 

 This is an inferior \:ni<'1y in i\v\\ way 

 comiiared with l>el:n lie. 



Atrosanguinea lias l>een soinrwliat 

 .•OMfus<'d with similar varieties, as it 

 l,:is been sent In the i oinell ploi- un- 

 ,|,.r tlH' naiiH' of Delarlin. .Imssmt and 

 ,„),ra triumphans. It ditVers from 1 >r 

 lacliei in habit. The latter is a vry up 

 riglit grower, whih' .Vtrosnngiiin.'a i- 

 si.reading. Delachei has a moro r,nu 

 pact bloom and does md show the st;i 

 mens as plainlv as At ros.ingnmea. I>i' 

 lachei is also a few days later. Atro 

 sangiiine;i is a taller grower and md m 



has a very much more silvery reflex, is 

 iiid nearly so comp.act in lilooni, Avitli 

 \ isilde stamens, and has smaller and 

 lighter green foliage than Delachei. 

 The season is the same and the habit 

 similar. The buds of the two \ai'ieties 

 before t'ading are nearly the same color, 

 ios\' magenta. 



Faust lias ;i rather \aiiable lilooin. 



Sometimes it takes on more of a bi ^ib 

 shape, with crown nearly lacking. 



La Fiancee should not be conf' ,m 

 with the single white La Fiancee or ji. 

 nated by Dessert in 1902. 



Duchess de Nemours should not i;,. 

 confused with Duchesse de Nenm is, 

 originated by Guerin, which from !i,. 

 description in the catalogue of its or .;i 

 nator is a clear violet, lilac center, ■•.] 

 has been greatly confused in this c i 

 try with Fdulis superba. 



There seems to be some confu- ;; 

 concerning Papaveriliora, as less t' n; 

 half the donations sent for trial A^ - 

 correct. 



Solfatare has been confused by so 'h' 

 with Due de Wellington. 



Although Mons. Kousselou and Coi 'i' 

 de I'aris were sui)positiv(dy origina- ■.] 

 as two distinct varieties by Guo <,, 

 they siM'in identical as they ajipear m 

 the trade today. From correspomiei. i' 

 with A. Dessert. 



There seems to be more confusi rii 

 over Fdulis superba than any other, a ^1 

 it has been sent to the Cornell jilots ■m 

 der twenty tlir(>e ditl'erent names; asl 

 in some cases Fdulis superba has ounii- 

 under three or four dillerent nan s 

 from a single nursery. 



Laron James Eothschild is very sum 

 lar to Formosa rosea. 



Some growers are selling a deep p'.i k 

 under the name of Mine. Lreon, wlii ii 

 is incorrect. A. Dessert described t'hs 

 in ]8(5."i, taken from Guerin 's catalogin', 

 as flesh color, white ceiitoi;. slightly >i'l 

 lowish. 



Golden Harvest is similar to Jcai!;'c 

 d'Arc as regards bloom. The latte;- s 

 somewhat larger and is produced oi: i 

 taller jdant. 



Augustin d 'Hour has not (juite -" 

 compact a bloom as Felix Crousse n' 

 Aictor Hugo, and is possibly not so :'''D 

 a bloomer. The color of all three ii' 

 these varieties is similar. I'ossil ^y 

 Felix Crousse is a little more brilli;iMt 

 than the other two. ' This \ariety h:is ;i 

 more jirominent collar than Vi< r 

 Hugo or Felix Crousse. 



Ville de Nancy has bei'u confused v 

 some Avith Marechal \'aillant, but 'J c
