cies are purplish in color, somewhat nodding and not 
much to look at, but of botanical interest. 
arietina alba. A very beautiful early species. Flowers 
with a silky sheen. A fine variety. 
cretica. Probably a form of P. arietina. Grayish green 
foliage, light pink flowers. A nice plant and very 
early. 
decora alba. Another fine early blooming plant. 
Emodi. The Himalayan peony. Very tall, with nodding 
white flowers and extremely handsome foliage. A 
beautiful species. 
macrophylla (tomentosa). A very large-leaved species 
from the Caucasus region. Flowers white; one of the 
first of all peonies to bloom. 
Mlokosewitschi. The only truly yellow herbaceous peony 
and one of the most beautiful of hardy plants. A 
very early and abundant bloomer. Although not al- 
ways certain to succeed, it should at least be tried 
in every garden. 
obovata alba (Japan). This is the wild peony of Japan 
and is a pleasant little plant of no very conspicuous 
charm. It occurs also with pink flowers, and is then 
no better. 
officinalis lobata. You may call this simply Paeonia lo- 
bata if you wish. This too is a variable plant from 
seed. The precious form of it has flowers of a bril- 
liant vermilion color and seems to be almost identi- 
cal with the English plant offered under the name 
Sunbeam. 
officinalis Ophia. A very good light red single form of 
officinalis. This would be a good plant to use for 
crossing. 
officinalis Otto Froebel. The authenticity of my plants is 
very doubtful. My stock seems to be identical with 
what is now called by Barr & Sons officinalis Charm- 
er. In any case the flowers are single, of a good pink 
color, and the plant has proved of great value for 
hybridizing. Its seedlings do not run quite uniform in 
color. / 
‘triternata. Very early. Light mauve pink flowers. Foli- 
age waved. <A plant worth having. 
Veitchi. Closely related to anomala. Flowers similar in 
color. 
Willmottiae. A very beautiful white-flowered species 
from Western China; one of the earliest of all peo- 
nies; large handsome foliage. Very rare. 
Woodwardi. A lovely pink form of Veitchi. 
Woodwardi alba (Beresowskyi). As far as I can see, the 
species Beresowskyi is a white form of Woodwardi; 
at least that is what my plants are. This is a very 
beautiful dwarf plant with flowers like anemones.
