itiii —ilKl>K\ woiiAVKR—(Brand, 1918.) Rose 
type; very late. One of the most unique and 
at the same time one of the most fascinating 
of I’eoriles. Were it not for the fact that you 
must cut the flowers from Peony plants one 
would almost think he were cutting Rose 
huds when he cuts Helen Wolaver buds from 
the bush, so striking is the resemblance of 
this variety when in the bud to the bud of 
the Rose. It does not come to perfection until 
grown on four-year-old plants, when the re¬ 
sults are wonderful. Prominent stiff sea-shell 
pink, guard petals more or less splashed with 
a deeper pink, together with generally two 
rows of the next inner petals clowly drawing 
away and leaving a compact Rose-bud shaped 
center. Rose scented. Taken all in all, the 
most beautiful X^eony of recent years.

the good knight bearing this name the Peony 
wins our favor. Tall, stately, carrying its 
blooms on straight, firm stems. Its radiant, 
ruby-red petals alternating with rows of 
golden stamens, giving us in well-established 
plants a high built flower of semi-rose type 
and great beauty. Good foliage and sturdy 
growth. •

«J)I—MABEL CLARE—(Pleas, 1916.) Semi-rose
