*Armandine Mechin (Mechin 1880) 7.2 .25 .15 .12 
Early Midseason Double Type Red 
Very rich red. Medium size. Medium height; 
very profuse bloomer. This variety flowers earlier than 
Felix Crousse and is excellent for commercial cut-flowers. 
A fine flower and deserves a much higher rating. 
Auguste Dessert (Des. 1920) 8.7 .50 .40 
Midseason Double Type Intensely Pink 
Each petal edged with a narrow silvery border. 
Large. Medium height; fairly prolific bloomer. A strik¬ 
ing sort of unusually vivid color and wheel-like form. 
Augustin d’Hour (Calot 1867) 7.8 .30 .20 
Late Midseason Double Type Solferino-Red 
Dark but brilliant, with silvery reflex. Very large. 
Tail; free bloomer. One of the really good—and reliable 
reds which deserves to be rated higher. Very popular. 
Avalanche (Crousse 1886) 8.7 .25 .15 .12 
Late Midseason Double Type Blush-White 
Very narrow crimson edges to a few petals. Large. 
Medium height; good bloomer. A very popular white 
variety suitable for commercial cut-flowers and general 
planting. Extra strong grower. 
Ball O’Cotton (Franklin 1920) 8.8 .50 .40

liable in many localities. 
Baroness Schroeder (Kelway 1889) 9.0 .30 .20 .15 
Late Midseason Double Type Pale Flesh-White 
Tinted cream, outer petals shaded faint pink. 
Very large. Tall; floriferous. One of the finest and most 
reliable Peonies in existence and since the price has be¬ 
come low, it is being largely planted for commercial cut- 
flowers- Extra keeper in storage.

Midseason Double Type Cherry Red 
Very bright cherry red. Large. Free bloomer. 
Tall. A striking plant from the time it shows above 
ground until killed by frost. For producing spots of 
brilliant color in the garden it cannot be excelled. 
Claire Dubois (Crousse 1886) 8.7 .30 .20 .15 
Late Double Type Bright Rose-Pink 
Almost mauve-pink. Very large. Moderately
