"Bigger Peonies"
The following varieties are all varieties I have raised from seed. I have tested them all for a good many years and I believe they are all worthy of a trial in your gardens. I do not have very large stocks of them and there are not very many plants of each to be sent out this year.
Anne Bigger — This very large medium pink flower is very smooth in color and always opens. The flower is very heavy and the stem is strong enough to hold it up unless a heavy rain hits, then some of them will go down. It makes a very pretty bud and the foliage is medium dark green.
