LAURA DESSERT (Dessert)—8.8 
Although this is known as a yellow peony, yet un¬ 
less its owner cuts the unopened buds and brings 
them indoors he will not find a particle of yellow 
in the Moom because the sun absorbs all the yellow 
very quickly after the petals are opened. It is al¬ 
most exactly like the variety Primevere which was 
originated by Mr. Lemoine. Very few experts can 
select a bloom of one variety if it is placed among 
a dozen blooms of the other. I regard Laura Dessert 
as having slightly better stems. Do not neglect to 
place bags over the buds and then take the flowers 
indoors before the bags are removed.

LE CYGNE (Lemoine)—9.9 
This very large, very beautiful white peony has the 
highest rating of any variety in the world. When 
it is perfectly grown it is as beautiful as the best 
Jubilee I have ever seen. Every peony lover wants 
it and every peony lover should have it.

LIBERTY BELL (Neeley) 
The stems of this splendid double variety carry the 
large pink blooms perfectly. The petals have much 
more than ordinary substance and the flowers at 
certain stages have a rather remarkable depth. Each 
blooming season it has grown in my favor.

LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm)—8.9 
The Peony Manual published by the American Peony 
Society contains a beautiful color picture of this 
variety opposite page 65. It is the best of the 
varieties originated by Mr. Gumm which I have yet 
seen. Its color is a deep even rose pink and it is a 
full double peony of the rose type.

This very attractive double peony has a brilliant
