ers salmon rose, almost double.

little shade.

P. LUTEA AND P. DELAVAYI 
Paeonia lutea is the wild yellow tree peony from Southern 
China. Flower 2 to 38 inches across like an enlarged 
buttercup, with a lily-like fragrance; foliage fern-like, 
very handsome. A beautiful and unusual plant. 
Paeon‘a Delavayi is very closely allied to P. lutea. Its 
flowers are a dark mahogany red. The two species 
intercross with extreme ease, producing hybrids in 
which the flowers vary in color from reddish yellow to 
a rather deep orange red. Beautiful for cutting, resem- 
bling French anemones in a totally new set of colors. 
I have many plants of these intermediate forms, but 
very little stock of the dark red Delavayi.

PEONIES and P. LUTEA or P. DELAVAYI
