A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties
White Varieties
Enchanteresse (Lemoine).  8.9.  White.  A very tall growing variety with clean light green stems and foliage.  Blossoms are of the very largest, pure rose type, petals broad, long, and notched at the edges.  Guards a pure creamy white splashed with crimson with occasional faint tracings of crimson on the central petals.  Wondrously beautiful in the bud stage especially when the great pure white buds hang suspended half opened for several days.  When it does finally open, it becomes an immense chaste creation of almost unbelievable beauty.  We understand that this is not a good flower for the south as it is very late and does not open well, but the farther north it is grown, the better it becomes.  As grown with us, it is rated far too low.  It is surely entitled to a rating of 9.2.
