Avalanche (Crousse 1886) 8.7 Double type, large, late, midseason variety. A blush- 
white of waxy texture with a faint pink center and very narrow crimson edges 
on a few of the center petals. A compact, generally incurved flower with the 
tops of the outer petals recurved from its ball-like center. Slight fragrance. 
This is a standard cut flower variety and extensively grown. $1.00 
Ball O’ Cotton (Franklin 1920) 8.8 As the name implies, this peony gives the im- 
. pression of a large ball of cotton. Double type, large, late-midseason. Petals - 
incurved, overlapping at first, forming a large, compact white ball. Later, the 
enormous outer petals unfold and the evenly graduated inner petals form a 
rose-like center of crisp texture. There is a faint lemon tint in the center when 
fully open. Fragrance mild and sweet. Strong stems, foliage good. Excellent 
habit for garden use. $3.00 
Baroness Schroeder (Kelway 1889) 9.0 A double white tinted flesh pink. This pink 
will disappear as flower opens leaving it a pure white. Tall, strong stems and 
one of the best cut flowers we have. Much in demand by commercial growers.

staminodes of clear yellow at the extreme center, produces a charming and dis- 
tinct yellow and white effect. $1.50

satisfactory. Should make a good commercial variety as well. $4.00

remarkable class. Another “must have.” $4.75
