A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties
Pink Varieties
Judge Berry (Brand).  8.6  This immense, delicate pink flower is the very best of its season.  It comes so early that it is seldom seen on exhibition.  However, at the Des Moines show it appeared in five of the winning collections.  The bud is pink, and as the petals open farther and farther, it becomes a flat pink disc, of surpassing beauty.  It is often seven or eight inches in diameter.  The petals are narrow, long and fringed, with some stamens intermingled.  The flower has a pleasing fragrance.  Coming at the very beginning of the peony season, when most varieties are of small or medium size, this immense flower has a peculiar distinction, and will be wanted by every peony buyer who wishes a really good early pink.  The demand for this variety is so great that we never have a large stock on hand.  Mrs. McCullagh, of Gatos, California, wrote us as follows: “Judge Berry, less than a year old, bore five superb flowers, and we thought it among the most beautiful I had.  I think it is wonderful.”
