Toro-no-maki (Origin unknown) 9.0 <A very lovely, white Japanese variety with a 
prominent yellow center. Very similar to Isani-Gidui, but we have always con- 
sidered it a stronger grower. Petals have great substance and are of heavy 
texture. Strong grower with stiff stems and a most worthy addition to any © 
peony planting. . $2.50

pink, darker on the edges and in the middle petals, paling to white at base.

yellow carpels. Strong stems of medium height, with good foliage. Sometimes - 
feathers in center. $1.50 
Apple Blossom (Origin unknown) 7.7 This rating was given in 1925, and we 
feel that it is not fair to the variety, as in our estimation it deserves a some- 
what higher rating. Also known under the Japanese name Rei-kai-zan. Very 
aptly named, for it is a true apple blossom pink. Very dainty and good to look 
at. Plant has good growing habits and is medium in height. Good, free bloomer.
