Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:
MONS.DUPONT.(Calot, 1872.) 8.3.
Double type; large; late midseason. White with a yellow glow from buried stamens, and very conspicuous crimson blotches on central petals; strong fragrance. Tall; very free-blooming; stiff stems. Excellent foliage.
A very distinct sort, of cupped form with a collar composed of tufts of petals arranged in little whorls. The crimson spots are exceptionally vivid and give it considerable resemblance to Boule de Neige, which blooms earlier.
