Souvenir de Louis Bigot. (Dessert, 1913.) 9.1.
Double type; large; midseason. Vivid rose-pink, brightening to shell-pink in the center, all petals slightly lighter at the edges; mildly fragrant. Medium height; floriferous; strong stems. Good foliage.
Close to the Walter Faxon color group in that it has no trace of the mauve and old-rose shades which are characteristic of many pink varieties. It is one of the cleanest and brightest colored peonies grown.
"Possessing a shade desirable in peonies."—Christman.
"A real treasure. Its effect in the garden is nothing short of gorgeous."—Mrs. Edward Harding.
"One of the most attractive peonies I have ever seen."—Boyd.

Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies
Solange. (Lemoine, 1907.) 9.7.
Double type; large; late. Compact, globular form, opening slowly and not acquiring full development for several days; cream-white, with a suffusion of buff and pale salmon-pink; very faint, unpleasant fragrance. Medium height; moderately floriferous; stems and foliage of average quality, dark green with reddish green veins.
A favorite variety of unusual tint about which peony writers have become most enthusiastic. The form of the bud is cramped and tight and it lacks grace. Its great merit is its color. See color illustration.
"When well grown it has perfect form"—Brand.   
"Well-developed flowers are often very good in form"—Saunders.
"Invariably in the prize-winning classes."—Christman.
"With many it is a greater favorite than Le Cygne. In a class by itself."—Little.
Its only fault is a somewhat defective stem."—Fewkes.
Sometimes has tight buds and fails to open. Coloring is beautiful and distinct."—Boyd.
