Many of the older varieties of Peonies have been discarded 
and sometimes we overlook good qualities which have made 
these varieties so well liked in the past. The varieties listed 
in this series will not produce individual blooms for the show 
table, but they do make a pretty effect in the garden. 
Edith Lyttleton (Kelway), quite an early and free blooming 
variety of large, globular form. Coloring a beautiful 
deep shell-pink with light satiny tips. | 
Edouard Andre (Mechin 1874), medium-sized blossoms of 
7.1 asatiny crimson maroon, with rich golden center. Mid-
