The young plants will appear the following spring, and will produce varieties equal in every way to the named kinds. Lutea, a deep golden yellow single tree peony, was discovered a few years ago in the mountains of Yunnan by the Abbe Delavay. Crosses from this were made by Lemoine with other tree peo- nies. One of them, La Lorraine, was exhibited by me at the American Peony Society's show in Philadelphia and was given a special award of merit. Its blooms, six inches in diameter, are fully double and are a deep yellow. A new Lutea hybrid is Souvenir du Maxima Cornu, a deeper color with a shading similar to that in the Mme.

Next in poiiit of interest and season of bloom are Lemoine's Witt- manniana hybrids, produced by crossing the pale yellow Wittmanniana, itself a rather difficult species to grow, with Chinensis, resulting in types of strong, vigorous growths, with handsome deco- rative foliage and large single flowers. There are four of them: Avante Garde, pale rose; Le Printemps, creamy yellow; Mai Fleuri, white shaded salmon; and Messagere, sulphur white.

There is a white one, Officinalis Alba Plena, and a beautiful large-flowered pink one, Rosea Superba, besides a number of named single and double ones not com- monly seen.
