as possible, and be content with seeing only a portion of 
the list any one year. This year some of the double pinks 
and whites were in their glory. Mary Auten on two year 
plants was just about all one could ask for in a flesh white 
peony, and what a glorious bouquet it made in the house! 
White Beauty, Prudence and Manoah showed their great 
delicacy and charm. Pink Solange gave enormous bloom 
on two year plants, in form an exact duplicate of old 
Solange, but a genuine pink shade. I wonder what it 
will do in Duluth, where old Solange is so very fine. Old 
Hundredth is not as large as Grace Loomis, but the center 
petalage is better, and there is distinctly more yellow in its 
creamy cast.
