BARONESS SCHRO...Read MoreEDER (Kelway). A very fine, white Peony which, when it first opens, has a pink sheen over it which gives it the appearance of being covered with a very dainty silk veil. The blooms are full rose shape, the quality of the petals is excellent, and the flowers are of such excellent quality that they can well be exhibited at any National Peony Show. It has an extremely long blooming season, and we regard it as one of the best Peonies in the world, both for use on the landscape, and for cut blooms, and we particularly recommend it to men and women who are just begining to make a Peony collection, and who are in doubt as to what varieties to purchase. $1.50
