Seedlings Produced by Our Own Grower.
Out of the hundreds of seedlings we have watched blooming in our testing grounds for ten years or more, only four have reached the high standard of perfection which we have set as our ideal of really good peonies.
They have not been on the market long enough to be widely disseminated so that when the rating was made by the American Peony Society very few collectors had them in their gardens.
La Hollande (1918)—Late; rose type. A uniform color of deep blush pink without tinting or shading. Tall erect grower with marvelous stems and deep green foliage, which is quite large. The flower is very double and is composed of excellent lasting substance so that it retains its form and color for days in the field in addition to being a remarkable keeper if cut in bud state and opened indoors. Blooms are of unusual formation, as they seem to be made up of several individual small rosettes resembling a double Hollyhock and all held together in the center by a large rosette and surrounded with shell-shaped guard petals. Very prolific bloomer, a three year old plant having ten to twenty massive flowers. There is no other variety similar in any way and everyone should have it in their collection.
