Pastel (Nicholls 1941) Here is a charming peony very aptly named. Color a fine 
salmon pink. This is one of the new ones and little known to the general public.

rated, but we predict that the rating will put it in a class with the good ones. 
The pleasing, delicate coloring is most attractive. $5.00
