Jim, with our new introduction, HARGROVE HUDSON.

This is the first peony we have ever introduced. We think it 
quite good. It is here pictured in color. A large flower of fine 
form, soft light pink. Medium in height. It is a good grower 
that produces many fine flesh or light pink flowers. The outer 
petals are a shade darker than the rest of the flower.

ble of bewitching loveliness. A late bloomer of rare charm. The 
blush coloring is more pronounced toward the center of bloom, 
radiating to a lighter shade. We saw the original plants of this 
variety and it was breath-taking. It’s just one of those varieties 
you feel that you must have in the garden. A wonderful show 
bloom that will hold its own with the elite of the peony world. 
The large broad petals have wonderful substance.
