Pink Varieties
La Lorraine (Lemoine).  8.6.  La Lorraine is a large flower nicely rounded in form with great broad petals beautifully arranged.  The color is a soft even shade of creamy pink.  We think this is a flower that is not really appreciated.  In our opinion it is one of the choicest of all peonies and we believe it should rate well above nine.  This was the judgment formed by us when we first saw the flower and we have never had reason to change our opinion since.  We have seen blooms of La Lorraine so beautiful that when shown together with magnificent blooms of Le Cygne, Therese, Kelway’s Glorious and Mme. Jules Dessert they showed up just as well as these wonderful sorts.  In fact, we think La Lorraine as good a flower as any of these.
