TORPILLEUR (Dessert, 1913) - Jap. - Red - Midseason. Medium height. Slightly fragrant. Japanese type, large. Deep rose-red or light crimson guards, held horizontally around a large cluster of staminodes of the same color tipped pink and yellow; pale green carpels with red tips and a pink base; slightly fragrant. Strong growth; floriferous. Excellent foliage. Frequently "feathers" in the center. A very distinct variety, particularly in the way the guard petals are arranged. M.

TORQUEMADA (Kelway, 1895) - Double - Pink - DISCARDED - Midseason.

TOURANGELLE (Dessert, 1910) - Double - Light Pink - Late. Medium height. Pleasant fragrance, mild.

Rather small foliage. A handsome, very richly colored flower which requires time to develop to its best form. Needs support if used for decoration in the garden. "The color might better be described as a pale apple-blossom pink. At its best Tourangelle is one of the most beautiful of all peonies." Saunders. "Not a very strong grower. Stems inclined to be weak." - Boyd. M.
