Double Varieties 
varieties which is the highest rating I place on any 
of my peonies. However I do not yet advise its pur¬ 
chase for it may not be worth as much as I am ask¬ 
ing for it. If next year it should be less beautiful I 
will reduce my price. There is an element of gambling 
in the buying and selling of new varieties.

VICTORY CHATEAU THIERRY (Brand)—8.9 
This very large and very beautiful new pink peony 
has received, I believe, more commendations than 
any other of the new peonies from Mr. Brand’s gar¬ 
den. I, also, am glad to sound its praises. In addi¬ 
tion to its show room value, which is very great, 
I believe its value on the landscape will be even 
greater. A row of thirty plants in full bloom in my 
own garden gave me the same kind of thrill which 
a landscape gardener delights in receiving when he 
looks over his plantings in his customers’ gardens.

WALTER FAXON (Richardson)—9.3 
A medium-size variety with the most attractive pink 
color in the whole peony world except that in the 
variety Mrs. Livingston Farrand. Its stems are strong 
enoug;h to carry the blooms gracefully and its out¬ 
standing color makes it a great favorite with garden 
visitors. I believe that when grown in clumps, it 
will draw as much attention as some of the taller 
landscape varieties. The very large size of many of 
the blooms of this variety at the Rochester Show 
leads me to believe that it will respond to the use 
of its favorite fertilizer.

W. F. TURNER (Shaylor) 
This is Shaylor’s best red variety. It is taller than 
Philippe Rivoire and for that particular reason has 
value on the landscape. Its color is known as dark 
crimson and it shows yellow stamens.

WILL McClelland (Shaylor) 
A medium sized pink bloom. Double, showing red 
carpels at the center. The color is a beautiful shade 
of pink which does not entirely fade out in the sun¬ 
shine. There are few laterals and I believe that its 
usefulness is in landscape work.
