growing plant, dark green foliage. Medium tall stiff stems. 
One of the best of the red peonies.

holds its color without burning throughout the life of the flower. 
Medium tall plant, strong slender stems. Blooms in late mid¬ 
season. Rose fragrance.

popular flower.

The flower is a perfect rose type, large and globular, very sym¬ 
metrical in form and of a creamy white color. Plant of good 
growth, medium tall and heavy dark green foliage. Early mid¬ 
season. A variety that should be in every planting, although some 
years if weather conditions do not suit, it fails to produce flowers 
of the best quality, but other years its flowers are so fine that 
it more than compensates for occasional disappointments. 
9.2 GRACE LOOMIS, (Saunders), A very fine late blooming clear 
white, semi-rose type flower, carried on fairly stout stems. A 
fine variety to extend the length of the blooming season.
