"Bigger Peonies"
The following varieties are all varieties I have raised from seed. I have tested them all for a good many years and I believe they are all worthy of a trial in your gardens. I do not have very large stocks of them and there are not very many plants of each to be sent out this year.
Westerner — Jap. and one of the finest. It will grow 3 feet or more high. The flower is very large light pink with a very stiff cushion of staminoids that are bright yellow. It has never feathered for me. It is lighter pink than Tomate-Boku, almost as large and 2½ times taller. Plant and root are clean and it is a good grower. Midseason. Per Division — $10.00 Net
