ter passing to a clear paper-white with age. Tlie globular, 
compact type of bloom of this variety makes it easily dis¬ 
tinguishable from all others; probably the finest of all white 
reonies. Each. $6.50. 
139 MADAME EMILE LEMOINE 
(Lemoine. 1S09.) M. Lemoine thought enough of this 
rooiiy to honor it with his wife^s name. Extra large, full. 
Imbricated round flower, each petal overlapping the other, 
giving the whole flower a very unusually distinctive, even 
shape; color on first opening glossy white, overlaid with a 
sheen of tender satiny-pink, covered with minute lilac dots. 
When fully blown, pure white. A variety you want to linger 
with: strong grower and free bloomer; rare and beautiful. 
Each. 90 cents; dozen, $10.00; hundred. $75.00. 
113 MADAME JULES DESSERT 
(i^os.sert, 1009.) Very large imbricated flower. White,

few carmine stripes. Exquisite shade, a varietv of absolute 
superiority. Each, $4.50. 
212 MARIE CROUSSE 
(Crousse, 1S02.) Enormous, very full, globular flowers 
on long, strong stems; color, soft flesh with a salmon reflc.x

I’eony. Each, $1.76; dozen. $18.00. 
62 MARQUIS C. LAGERGREN 
(Des.scrt. lOll.) One may count the red varieties of 
I’eonies that have merit on the fingers of both hands. M. 
Dessert, of Chenonceaux. has been fortunate in the past in 
producing some of the finest reds, for which we owe him our 
thanks. In presenting us with Marquis C. I.agergren he has 
probably added his choicest red son. F^aigc. bright vel¬ 
vety-crimson; very lirilliant and showy with distinct silvery 
border: .•itroug stems; profuse bloomer. Each, $2.50. 
203 MIGNON 
(Lemoine. lOOS.) Kose type, late. This variety has 
many of the same good characteristics as the famous vari¬ 
ety Solunge. Very large, perfectly form.-d flowers with 
broad, imbricated petals; soft light rose passing to amber- 
cream: fragrant: growth very vigorous; has all the good 
points. Each. $2.76. 
250 MILTON HILL 
(Uichardson.) This is a wonderful I’eoiiy. Might well be 
described as a glorified Grandiflora. About the same color 
only much larger in size. A sea-sliell-pink. One of the very 
finest varieties in existence. Each. $5.00.
