This Year's Cottage Gardens Introductions
It is our pleasure to introduce this year five Peony seedlings originated by Mr. Abraham Nieuwenhuizen.
Mr. Nieuwenhuizen was one of the leading Peony growers in the Netherlands and when he came to America, in 1921, he left many of his seedlings in the care of relatives. After joining the Cottage Gardens organization in 1928, we induced Mr. Nieuwenhuizen to bring his best seedlings over to this country for our observation and we believe that the five varieties we are introducing this year will prove of great interest to Peony Fanciers, Professional Growers, and amateur gardeners.
Smiles—Unusually large flower. Stem tall and erect, does not need support. Outside petals light mauve with a regular collar of yellow petaloids, darker at the base. Center petals broad and of the same color, gracefully built flower, very full and double. Midseason to late...$15.00 Each
