■DUKE DE WELLINGTON, (Calot, 
1859). Large, sulphur white bloom, fra¬ 
grant, vigorous grower, free bloomer. 
* FELIX CROUSSE, (Crousse, 18 81). 
Large, globular, brilliant red, strong, vig- 
ourous grower, free bloomer, mid-season, 
extra good. One of the most desirable red 
varieties.

Enormous, globular bloom, often 7 to 9 
inches in diameter, on strong 3 to 4 foot

variety is probably one of the finest white 
Peonies grown. Many inferior sorts have 
been sent out for this one. One nursery¬ 
man told me that they had bought and had 
growing in their nursery six different 
whites under the name of Festiva Maxima. 
I have the true tall variety (big white).
