Therese (Dessert).  9.8.  A very large somewhat loosely built flower with long narrow pointed petals.  The plant is of medium height with strong stems.  As a rule, it will produce large typical flowers, even on one year plants, if they are allowed to bloom.  The plant is wonderfully productive of blooms of the largest size and most ravishing beauty.  Beholding Therese for the first time, people stand spellbound before its revelation of beauty.  It can truly be said that there is no peony more beautiful.  It stands the equal of Le Cygne, Solange, and Kelway’s Glorious.  The color is a uniform light violet rose shading to lilac white at the center.  With 71 voting, this variety rated 9.8.

Brilliant bright pink with exquisite lavender tints, center of flower lighter.  Rose type.  Fragrant midseason bloomer.  Large, yet exquisitely lovely.  One of the most beautiful peonies in existence.  Has probably won more prizes at peony shows than any other variety.  One of the high numbers among peonies and cheap at the price.  Each $3.50
