PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 37 A very delicate pale hydrangea- each. Pure white with crimson flakes In color it is In the Rose type all of the parts are changed to almost or quite uniform petals, like a rose. If not quite full it is called a Semi-rose. If the reader can keep the forms in mind he will be able to better picture the varieties described. My list of Peonies is a select one, with at least three-fourths of the most highly recommended sorts. There are many hundreds of Peonies, with many inferior, and a short first-class list has its advantages. Carnea elegans has a perfect rose type flower, with broad petals of a clear flesh- color. Fall and midseason. $i each. Charles Toche is of a globular rose type of fair size; early; clear violet-rose, a most exquisite shade. The plant is rather dwarf but free flowering. 75 cts. each. Due de Wellington is a very large bomb type Peony, with white guard petals and sulphur center; very fragrant; tall. A vigorous grower and a very fine variety. 50c. ea. Duchess of Teck is a brilliant rose-colored Peony of the rose type, the back of the petals fiery, edges of petals changing to silvery white. $1 each. Edulis Superba is a large, loose crown type and early. In color a bright mauve- pink. Rather tall and a strong grower. Very fragrant. 50 cts. each. Festiva Maxima is a large, globular, rose type. The outer petals are tinted lilac when opening, while the center is pure white, with little crimson flecks. 50 cts. each. Fragrans. This is a solferino-pink sort, with very long, stiff stems and of free- flowering habit. Under electric light it is almost exactly American Beauty rose color, and is remarkably fragrant as well. Jeanne d'Arc varies from a bomb to a crown in type. Tall, strong, and fragrant. Guards pale lilac-rose, collar creamy white, center pale lilac-rose. A very fine flower at its best. 75 cts. each. Louis Van Houtte is a semi-rose type of medium size. Color carmine-rose, with fiery reflex; fragrant; late. $1 each. Madame Calot is very large and of the rose type, pink; tall, a strong grower; early and fragrant. 75 cts Madame Crousse is a crown type of medium size in the center. Midseason. One of the best. $1 each. Marie Lemoine is a late sort of medium height but a strong grower, pure white with cream-white centers. Quite fragrant. 75 cts. each. Modeste Guerin is a tall, very strong-growing Peony of bomb type. It is a fine grower, with a light solferino-red flower; late midseason. When open at first, the bomb is low and flat, but develops into a high center. A fine sort. 75 cts. each. Modele de Perfection is a large and compact rose type. The guards and collar are light violet-rose, the high center darker. Below medium height, g~ good grower, and fragrant. Late. $1 each. Solfaterre is a full bomb but .later a crown develops. The guards are milk-white, the center sulphur. One of the two sorts that are nearest yellow. With age it becomes sulphur-white. A freshly opened flower is a dream of beauty for one who loves soft cream and sulphur shades. Quite fragrant; midseason; a little weak in stems. 75 cts. ea. Tenuifolia is of altogether another type of Peony. The foliage is bright green and as finely cut as a fern. The dazzling crimson flowers are set down in the foliage much as the love-in-the- mist flower is. Short-stemmed but brilliant. Very early. 50c ea. I can make up wide collections for any customer wishing them, charging the usual retail prices. Peony Festiva Maxima
