A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties
White Varieties
Ball o'Cotton (Franklin).  8.8.  White.  We can use all the good new whites in peonies that we can get and this is one of the good ones.  Ball O’Cotton is one of the finest new whites that have been brought out in some time.  The flowers are globular in form, entirely transformed, and of the purest white.  Ball O’Cotton wherever shown has caused very favorable comment and is now looked upon as an outstanding white.  At the Northwestern Peony and Iris show for 1927 held at Faribault, the largest and finest show ever put on by this association, it won first prize in the class of twenty best blooms of white.
