 Color Tyrian-rose; guards slightly flecked with 

 crimson; quite floriferous. At a reception held 

 in Springfield, a lot of Linne cut with three and 

 a half foot stems placed in a vase four feet in 

 height was more admired than any variety dis-

 Peony blooms used. It is a wonder. 50 cents.

 the Peony enthusiast raves over, and well he 

 may. 35 cents.
