A List of Fifty of the Best Inexpensive Varieties
Pink Varieties
Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine).  9.0.  Pink.  Here is another variety that is always found in the show room.  It is such a well-known peony that it seems unnecessary for us to say that it should be in every garden.  It is semi-rose in type.  It comes into bloom late mid-season.  The color is an apple blossom pink with each petal silver tipped.  The fragrance is agreeable.
