blush-white, with a carmine touch on the edge of some of the central petals.

lighter colored peonies. King Midas, however, was awarded the American 
Home Achievement Medal on account of its rose form, which is rare among 
reds. The plant is a model of perfection. The strong, straight stems carry 
medium sized perfectly rose formed, brilliant red full double blooms. It was

in all the shows. Considered the most popular red peony because of its

been in a generous mood. Besides the pleasing color, which is rich, practically 
unfading, baby pink, she gave the bloom great size and perfect rose form. 
Then, as the final touch, she added a Sweet Rose Fragrance. Highly regard- 
ed by experts. $8.00
