Double Varieties 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert)—9.4 
In 1935 and again in 1937, this beautiful peony had 
more charm in its form and in its color than any 
other peony in my garden. This was because during 
its blooming season, the sky was overcast and the 
sun did not take from it the most beautiful pink 
color carried by any peony. But with bright sunshine 
this variety is pure white and shows its beautiful 
pink colors only when the opening buds are com¬ 
pletely covered by thick paper bags which are not 
removed until after the stems are cut and the flowers 
carried indoors.

THE DISC (Sass) 
This is a new variety to me and may be as good as 
Auguste Dessert, which it somewhat resembles. It may 
also turn out to be a still better variety, but I will not 
advise its purchase till I get another year’s observa¬ 
tion.

TRAGEDY (Hollis)—8.0 
A late, tall, red, double peony whose quality and 
color in some years are equal to those in Philippe 
Rivoire. It is, however, not so reliable a variety as 
Philippe Rivoire and should not be purchased to sup¬ 
plant that variety.

TRAIL’S END (Neeley) 
This splendid fluffy landscape variety opens a soft 
pink and changes to white when fully opened. The 
fact that the rain passes through the loosely ar¬ 
ranged petals increases its landscape value. It has 
my recommendation.

VICTOIRE DE LA MARNE (Dessert) 
A large red double peony with an unusual sheen of 
violet which places it in a different class from any 
other red peony. A striking bloom of this variety 
was selected as the best red double peony at the 
Rochester National Peony Show last year. I believe 
that this variety is somewhat scarce as it was diffi¬ 
cult for me to find stock of it after it was found to 
be a prize winning variety. I have very little to 
offer.

VICTOR’S CROWN (Neeley) 
This very light pink peony anproaches the variety 
Mrs. J. H. Neeley in quality, beauty, and value. In 
very bright weather with full sunshine when its 
color changes to white it retains its very beautiful 
pink center and for that reason it may be more valu¬ 
able even than the other variety. It is a show 
variety, a landscape variety, and is also most ex¬ 
cellent for interior decoration. It is one of my 5 X
