White Peonies
Marie Jacquin (Verdier) Loose, double type, large, mid-season variety. Guard petals are broad and white, enclosing an almost perfect white water lily center that is very attractive. There is a large cluster of yellow stamens in the center of bloom. Medium height and a profuse bloomer. Under good cultivation, the bloom is nearly double. Without disbudding, it produces a splendid decorative effect, as the flowers come in large clusters. Must be disbudded for show flowers. Delightful and exciting floral arrangements. $1.50

A List of Fifty of the Best Inexpensive Varieties
White Varieties
Marie Jacquin (Verdier).  8.3.  White.  A flower with the purest white guards; then a collar of yellow stamens which surround a row of shorter pure white petals, which in turn enclose a tuft of yellow stamens, giving the flower a pronounced water-lily effect.  This is one of the most dainty peonies in the entire list.  Its stems are erect and a clean light green as is also the foliage.  The flowers are held perfectly erect.  The flower is semi-double and on young plants it often comes a beautiful single.
