HYBRIDS BETWEEN CHINESE TREE 
PEONIES and P. LUTEA or P. DELAVAYI 
Souvenir de Maxime Cornu (Henry, 1919). I can offer a 
few strong field plants of this European hybrid. Pale 
yellow shot and edged with red, giving an almost orange 
effect. Enormous double flowers. Very free bloomer. 
Stems rather too weak to hold up the massive blooms.
