Double Varieties 
A. B. FRANKLIN (Franklin) 
Mr. Franklin is more fortunate than several other 
peony growers who have given their names to peonies 
of their own origination. This one is a large, white 
variety, full double, opening a beautiful blush-pink 
and eventually changing to pure white. It was se- 
lected at the Rochester National Peony Show as the 
most distinguished exhibit for which it won the Boyd 
Memorial Prize and was, I believe, the very first of 
the eight varieties placed in the Court of Honor, a 
distinction which came to only seven other varieties.

ADONIS (Sass) 
This double peony has the very delicate shades of 
pink and yellow which we find in the variety Mrs. 
J. H. Neeley, Hans. P. Sass and other very much 
sought after peonies. My observation has been that 
the colors hold better in Adonis than in Miss Salway 
which for years was the best example of this par- 
t:cular coloring.

ALICE HARDING (Lemoine)—9.5 
The very first plant of this variety came into bloom 
the morning on which the first American soldiers 
marched through Mr. Lemoine’s home city, Nancy, 
France. He gave it the name Amitie Americaine 
(love for America), which was later changed. 
An extremely large cream white full double rose 
shape variety with very strong stems. The only 
variety which ever sold at $200.00 per root. Excellent 
for cut flowers and for landscape. It has my highest 
recommendation.
