Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:

LA FONTAINE. la-fo»-tenn'. (Lemoine, 1904.) 8.4.

Double type; large; late midseason. Large guard petals and an incurved globular center; light old-rose-pink, with a pale violet tone, approaching lavender; a few center petals edged with crimson; notably fragrant. Tall; floriferous; strong stems. Good, distinct, light green foliage.

A flower of delicate texture and distinct color, very different from Dessert's La Fontaine which is a red variety. Good for both garden decoration and cutting.

"Very large flowers develop a high crown. Delicate fragrance. Shy bloomer." —Boyd.
