 very pleasing shade of mauve-pink. A strong grower, it produces an abund- 

 ance of bloom on stout stems well above the foliage. A valuable addition to 

 any collection. Price, field-grown roots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.

The flowers of this type are very large, averaging eight inches across when well grown. 



The petals are broad and ribbon-like, the center shows, adding an artistic charm, 



closely resembling the semi-double Paeonies in appearance. They bloom 



profusely, have long stems and so are specially fitted for cut flower 



decoration in addition to their value for garden use.
