TRUE YELLOWS 
After long years of patiently waiting and many false alarms, two all yellow 
herbaceous peonies have been placed on the market this year. 
Claire de Lune, (White, 1954). This is a pale yellow single of great beauty 
and charm. It has a good plant of fair height and blooms early, with the earliest 
of peonies. Its stamens are orange and stigmas pale pink. It took over four thous- 
and trials to produce it from a cross of Mlokosewitschi and Mons. Jules Elie and, 
so far, it is the only plant that lived from this cross. The entire stock of this for 
sale this year, was sold as soon as announced at $30 a root. Its disseminators are 
Gilbert H. Wild and Son, Sarcoxie, Missouri. 
Oriental Gold. Rumors have persisted for many years that there was a full 
double yellow herbaceous peony somewhere in Japan. Finally, Mr. Louis Smirnow, 
8 Elm Court Drive, Sands Point, L. I., N. Y. succeeded in locating a few plants 
of it. It is a double, lemon yellow with a few hidden stamens. The plant is medium 
height and has medium sized blooms, opening in midseason. The entire plant is 
different from any other ever found. Its roots are yellow and the foliage a light 
yellowish green which grows somewhat darker with age. Mr. Smirnow expects to 
have a few roots for sale this fall at $150.00 each.
