HERBACEOUS DOUBLE PEONIES, continued 
SOLANGE. Lemoine. 9.7. This color is 
rather difficult to properly describe. Gen¬ 
erally speaking, it is a white, but on first 
opening is of a color which were you to take 
a bowl of cream, add a dash of coffee, and 
could gather and mix in the rosy glow of a 
morning sunrise, you would get pretty near 
to the effect which this flower gives. It is 
not, however, a prolific bloomer as we can 
use this term in connection with some va¬ 
rieties, and its one weak point is a stem of 
insufficient stoutness to hold up its remark¬ 
ably solid, heavy bloom. Late. $2.50. 
SOUV. DE L’EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE. 
Calot. 7.6. Rich, clear, brilliant pink with 
silvery reflex. This is one of the clearest 
deep pink Peonies without a trace of purple 
or lavender. Very large, full flower. Mid¬ 
season. $1.00. 
SOUV. DE LOUIS BIGOT. Dessert. 9.1. A 
distinct salmon-pink with excellent form 
and good strong stems. Midseason. $3.00. 
STANDARD BEARER. 8.5. Dark old-rose, 
overlaid with a violet sheen of opaque, 
glistening carmine. Very large, well-formed 
blooms are borne on short, stout stems. 
Very free blooming and excellent foliage. 
Agreeable fragrance. Early. $1.50. 
STRASSBURG. 8.4. Pale old-rose and lav¬ 
ender-pink. Very large flower of fine form 
with the outer petals curved gracefully 
around the center that is filled with showy 
yellow stamens. Midseason. $2.00. 
SUZANNE DESSERT. Dessert & Mecbin. 
7.7. A clear china-pink with silvery bor¬ 
dered petals. Very distinct, “silky” bloom. 
Midseason. $1.00. 
THERESE. Dessert. 9.8. A wonderful blend¬ 
ing of translucent pink, lavender, and old- 
rose. This is undoubtedly Dessert’s great¬ 
est accomplishment. In addition to its 
excellent flower qualities, it is a profuse 
and sure bloomer every year and every 
bloom is perfectly developed. Midseason. 
$ 2 . 00 . 
TOURANGELLE. Dessert. 9.4. Not exactly 
a pink and not a white, but a blending of 
delicate shades of pearly white to a pale 
apple-blossom-pink. Unusually refined 
flowers borne on long, graceful stems. 
Should be allowed to open indoors. Late. 
$ 2 . 00 . 
TRIOMPHE DE L’EXPOSITION DE LILLE. 
Calot. 7.8. A bright, fresh pink with out¬ 
side petals marbled with carmine. Beauti¬ 
fully imbricated flower of perfect form. 
Midseason. 75 cts. 
UMBELLATA ROSEA. Dessert. 7.4. Deli¬ 
cate rose-pink guard-petals; center petals 
straw-yellow, with tufts of light pink. 
Blooms abundantly on stiff, upright stems. 
Fragrant. Very early. 75 cts. 
VENUS. Kelway. 8.3. An even color of 
seashell-pink. Perfectly formed blooms are 
borne on very tall, erect, sturdy stems. 
Midseason. $1.50. 
VICTOIRE DE LA MARNE. Dessert. 8.2. 
The color is described by the introducer as 
a violescent pink, but borders closely on 
red. Showy yellow stamens mingle beauti¬ 
fully with this color. Very large blooms on 
strong stems. Fragrant. Midseason. $2.00. 
WALTER FAXON. Richardson. 9.3. An 
outstanding coral-salmon-pink, distinct 
from any other Peony color in existence. 
Does not bloom freely every year, but is 
certainly a variety that should be included 
in every collection of fine Peonies. Fra¬ 
grant. Late. $3.00. 
WEISBADEN. Goos Koenemann. 8.2. A 
bright, fresh pink opening to a pale old- 
rose. Flowers are produced very freely on 
young plants. True stock of this distinctive 
variety is very scarce. Late. $2.50. 
WILLIAM F. TURNER. Shaylor .. 8.4. A 
very dark crimson with a blackish sheen 
mingled with stamens. The plant is excep¬ 
tionally vigorous and free blooming. Late. 
$2.50.
