flower. Midseason. Fragrance slight but pleasant. Strong 
stems. Vigorous and floriferous. Medium height. Num¬ 
ber 2.$15.00

Mrs. Livingston Farrand. The color is true pink of con¬ 
siderable depth. Rose shape. Large. The stems are slender 
but are strong and wiry; they lean after a storm but hold the 
bloom above the ground better than most of the strongest 
ones. It has no competitor as a pink Peony and others agree 
that it is the most beautiful Peony yet produced. The stock 
is very limited. SILVER MEDAL, A.P.S., and the American 
Home Achievement Medal, 1936..$60.00
