Abstract

A new variety of peony plant having medium sized midseason blooms combining a near perfect rose-type peony flower form with beautiful soft Venetian pink colors and above average lasting qualities both on the plant and as cut flowers. The blooms are carried on strong, weather-resistant stems and the foliage of the plant is clean and attractive which enhances the total reliability and dependability of this variety over a wide geographical area.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new peony plant was discovered by applicant at his breeding grounds in Arlington Heights, Ill., this plant being a seedling of Mons. Jules Elie × W. L. Gumm (both unpatented) resulting from a cross made by applicant in the course of breeding efforts carried on by him at Arlington Heights, Ill., with the objective of producing improved, fully double, rose-type peony flowers on plants having stiffer, stronger and more weather-resistant stems and a reliable yearly performance in a wide geographic area.
Observation of many generations of asexually propagated plants of this new plant, produced by applicant and under his direction at Arlington Heights, Ill., has shown that its distinctive and advantageous characteristics are carried intact from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Because of its apparent market value as a garden flower, production of this new variety on a commercial scale is now being carried on, by means of root division, at Arlington Heights, Ill., and at production grounds at Champaign, Ill.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new variety of peony plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows a full view of the blossom of the new plant, the colors shown being as nearly true to that of the living flower as it is reasonably possible to obtain through conventional professional photographic procedures.

The following is a detailed description of applicant's new variety of peony plant with color specifications according to the R.H.S. Colour Chart published at London, England, by The Royal Horticultural Society with the collaboration of the British Colour Council, the observations hereinafter set forth having been made at Arlington Heights, Ill., in the late Spring of 1976.
