VICTORY (Thompson 1945). Too new for official rating, but we predict it will be among the 
highest-rated peonies we have. We are not alone in this opinion. First introduced and sold 
in 1945. This peony is now planted in many sections of the country, and we expect to get most 
satisfactory reports on its performance. A full double exquisitely formed flower of pure white 
with no markings. Opens a2. deep ivory, deepening to pink tones toward the center of the 
bloom. Good, stiff, strong stems with remarkable substance of the petals that is equaled by a 
few and excelled by none. Grows 42 to 45 inches in height. One of the most outstanding 
creations in recent years. Due to the extreme excellence of this variety and scarcity of stock,
