A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties
Pink Varieties
Lillian Gumm (Gumm).  A new flower of very outstanding qualities.  A flower is indeed good when it is repeatedly singled out from hundreds of varieties in the field.  We recently had about twenty plants of Lillian Gumm growing in a field of about two acres which contained many different varieties of the best sorts.  When this variety came into bloom there was something so attractive and distinct about its color that it was singled out as one of the most beautiful peonies in the entire field.
Lillian Gumm is a very large flower, globular in form, rose type, with great broad petals, and a cupped center.  The color is a uniform apple blossom pink with more brilliant shadings at the base of the petals.  We believe this to be one of the truly coming flowers.
