Abstract
A new variety of peony lactiflora distinguished by a profuse production of medium sized flowers with petalage of the Japanese type providing large, white, rounded, and smooth guard petals surrounding a large central mass of yellow stamenoids, the flowers being further distinguished by the unusual appearance of white petaloids at the center of the bloom and by a high degree of peony fragrance. This plant is of medium height with average strength, a rapid growth rate and abundant clear green foliage, and a mid-season blooming habit.
Description
My new variety of peony plant is a seedling of Charlies White (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,684) × Bowl of Cream (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,451) resulting from a cross made during the course of breeding efforts carried on by members of my family in our nursery at Arlington Heights, Ill., with the object of developing new peony varieties having strong, stiff, weather resistant stems and blooms of pleasing colors and color combinations.
This new plant was observed by me to have interesting and unusual blossom characteristics, quite different than those of its parents, and my propagation of this plant by root division, through successive generations at Arlington Heights, Ill., has demonstrated that its distinctive characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Commercial scale propagation of this new peony plant is now being carried on at production grounds at Champaign, Ill., and at Arlington Heights, Ill.
This new variety of peony plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows two face views of the flower. The left hand view shows the newly opened bloom and the right hand view shows the form and petalage character of the mature, fully opened flower. The colors shown are as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new peony plant variety with the color designations being according to the R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, with collaboration of The British Colour Council, the observations having been made at Arlington Heights, Ill., during the flowering season of 1976.

This plant, in many respects, has characteristics like those of its seed parent, Charlies White (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,684), and its flower resembles that of Lotus Queen (unpatented). The most distinctive feature of this plant, however, is the flower which exhibits large, white and rounded guard petals which surround a most pleasing central mass of yellow staminodes at the very center of which unusual white petaloids generally appear. This blossom coloration, in combination with the clean green foliage, provides a most pleasing garden subject.
