other about a week later. These plants are graceful and 
unusual. The flowers, which are only moderate in size,. 
resemble beautiful white anemones. They are slightly 
nodding and are borne on rather tall stems. The foliage 
is fern-like and very handsome. Sold as a strain only, 
the plants in each group being all closely alike. 
Albiflora x Otto Froebel 
The plants cover themselves with gaily held flowers 
in some new and fresh shades of pink, charming for cut- 
ting or the garden. 
Hope. Semi-double, an exquisite flower, of an intense 
pure rose color, absolutely free from mauve, a color 
rare in herbaceous peonies. Comes sometimes full dou- 
ble. 
Charity. A clear bright pink semi-double, darker than 
Hope, almost a cherry red, with a peculiar silky sheen. 
Birthday. The sensation of the group at the Boston 
Show, 1935. Like a huge pale pink Shirley poppy in 
color and form, slightly fringed at the edges. Single. 
Anniversary. (1941) Fringed flower. Like Birthday, but 
darker in color. Very attractive. 
Fidelity. A lovely salmon flesh color. Single. 
Verity. The palest of the group; light flesh pink. Single. 
Very tall and fine. 
Valor. Bright clear pink, semi-double. Large bloom. Tall 
upstanding plant. Not for sale, 1942. 
Mercy (formerly Patience). Beautiful salmon rose cup. 
Single. Very attractive. 
Amity. First class certificate, Washington, 1929. Lovely 
light rose pink single. 
Victoria Lincoln (formerly Victoria). The handsomest of 
ths group, so far. Clear pink. Large full double when 
established. Magnificent. 
Honor. (1941) Especially good single bright pink cup. 
Good Will. (1941) One of the last in bloom of this 
strain. Almost double; bright rosy pink. 
Spring Song. (1941) Beautiful pale creamy salmon 
single. 
Albiflora x lobata 
This race of hybrids contains many beautiful pink and 
red colors we have so long desired in the Chinese peonies— 
flesh, cherry, salmon, coral and rose pinks to clear bright 
crimsons, with no hint of purple and never a bad color 
in all the hundreds that have bloomed. I think this is 
the most brilliant and effective strain of hybrid peonies 
yet produced.
