showing in mingled petaloids. Semi-double in construction, often sporting solid rose red 
flowers. Late flowering and very hardy. Foliage long narrow medium green. Growth sym-

Hermes Sport No. 2. (Beauty of Holland, Jenny Lind). In 1932 this Sport of Hermes 
was sold to me under the name of Jenny Lind in Alabama from Overlook Nursery. It has all 
the desirable characteristics of the Hermes family and is outstandingly beautiful. 
Lady Van Sittart Variegated. A beautiful variegated form of Lady Van Sittart. Identical 
habit of growth. Same flowering period. Foliage deep glossy green, deeply serrated twisted. 
Hermes Sport No. 3. (Jenny Lind). This third Sport of Hermes resembles the Varie- 
gated Lady Van Sittart in color, but is of the same loosely peony form as are all the other Hermes. 
No definite name has been adopted for this fine variety. Several nurseries are listing it as 
Jenny Lind. 
Hermes Sport No. 4. An exceptionally handsome Sport of Hermes, with flowers pink with 
white margin at edges of petals. It does not have the usual stripes found in Hermes. I found 
a branch on a small Hermes plant in 1936. It is not yet available. Orders booked this season 
for next season’s delivery on grafted plants only.

the latter. Foliage large rounded waxy. Growth slow sturdy upright. Origin not known 
to me.
