PINK PEONIES—Continued 
9.2 JEANNOT (Dessert) 
A large, high built, round flower of rose type with a cupped center. 
A delicate lavender-pink, with salmon-pink shadings at the base of 
the petals. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.6 JUDGE BERRY (Brand) 
This is a fine delicate pink coming into bloom with that very early 
deep pink, Edulis Superba. Its attractive, large flat flowers are of 
excellent color and texture. Coming at the beginning of the Peony 
season, when most varieties are of small or medium size, this im¬ 
mense flower has a peculiar distinction, and will be wanted by every 
Peony buyer who wishes a really good early light pink. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.0 JUNE DAY (Franklin) 
We think June Day is one of the very best of Mr. Franklin’s intro¬ 
ductions. A flower of striking beauty, light flesh with lavender 
shadings on the edge of the central petals. Pleasing fragrance, up¬ 
right grower with dark green foliage. At the 1935 Boston National 
Show, June Day was one of the outstanding flowers of the entire 
show A Brand Division $2.00 
9.0 KATHARINE HAVEMEYER (Thurlow) 
Originator’s description: “Large, rose type, flesh-pink in color; 
guard petals broad and rounded, somewhat notched at the ends. 
Center petals narrow and fringed. Full, high center. Sweet fra¬ 
grance. Midseason to late. Honorable Mention, American Peony 
Society, London, Ontario, 1922.’’ Of all of Thurlow’s Peonies, 
which we regard very highly, Katharine Havemeyer is one of the 
best. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 KELWAY'S QUEEN (Kelwoy) 
This is a distinct Peony, both in flower and plant. At one time 
the stocks of this variety were badly mixed, but when the true 
variety is once seen, there can be no mistake. It is a large, compact, 
rose type flower of uniform mauve, with center flecked crimson. 
A tall strong grower, and a very profuse bloomer. Late midseason. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
9.1 LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF (Kelway) 
An immense, loosely built flower with great broad rounded petals. 
A pale blush-pink, fading to white, with yellow stamens. When 
not disbudded, the central flower is loosely double, of a rather flat- 
tended, circular form; central petals touched with carmine. A beau¬ 
tifully formed flower; sweet scented. Very floriferous. Very showy. 
Opening after the central flower, the side flowers come semi-double, 
saucer-shaped, showing stamens. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.2 LA FEE (Lemoine) 
A scarce variety, seldom seen in any garden. Plants tall with but 
few stalks to the plant. Long, narrow, sharply pointed foliage. 
Flowers very large, loosely built, with long narrow petals sharply 
notched at the edges. Guards mauve-rose. Collar creamy white. 
A beautiful mottling of different shades of pink. Strikingly beau¬ 
tiful, both in the field and show room. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.5 LA PERLE (Crousse) 
A beautiful soft shade of old-rose-pink with a spicy fragrance. The 
bud is especially clear, making a good cut flower. A midseason 
variety. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.1 LAKE O' SILVER (Franklin) 
This is a light pink silver-tipped variety, with golden anthers prom¬ 
inently showing throughout the flower. The central petals are a 
darker pink. The bloom is very large, often 7 to 8 inches in diam¬ 
eter on established plants. It is an extremely free bloomer. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
9.0 LA FRANCE (Lemoine) 
Very large, true rose type. A uniform apple-blossom-pink with 
crimson splashes on the guards. This flower during those years 
when it is at its best is one of the most outstanding of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
8.9 LAVERNE CHRISTMAN (A . m. Brand) 
A very large deep pink of varied shadings. The plant is tall and a 
vigorous grower. This variety received an Award of Merit at St. 
Paul, Minnesota, in the National Show held during 1923. Very 
late. Because of scarcity of stock we have been unable to offer this 
beautiful variety for several years. But with a nice stock again built 
up we can send out some fine roots. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.8 LILLIAN GUMM <Gumm) 
Late midseason. A new flower of outstanding qualities, good enough 
to be repeatedly singled out from hundreds of varieties in the field. 
Very large, globular in form, rose type, with great broad petals, 
and a cupped center. Color uniform apple-blossom-pink with more 
brilliant shadings at the base of the petals. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 LOVELINESS (Hollis) 
Very late. Produces very large, flat Hydrangea-pink flowers; blooms 
of wonderful beauty. It is Hollis’ best Peony. Plants tall with 
heavy foliage and stems strong enough to hold the immense blooms 
erect. The flowers, a uniform shade of pink, make wonderful show 
flowers. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.7 LUETTA PFEIFFER (Brand) 
Very large, semi-double, pinkish white. Foliage, large and clean; 
stems long and stout. Immense blooms are produced in great pro¬ 
fusion. Petals are long, broad, of great substance; a pure Hydran¬ 
gea-pink interspersed with golden stamens and some splashes of 
red. Blooms early. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.7 MADELON ( Dessert) 
A beautiful silvery pink, among the latest of Dessert's originations. 
Petals imbricated and slightly touched with carmine. A splendid 
late variety. A new Peony from France carrying that peculiar 
charm always to be found in the Dessert selections. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
8.9 MARIE CROUSSE (Crousse) 
A very attractive flower. Color very delicate shell-pink bordering on 
salmon; stiff, upright stems. Fragrant. Midseason to late. A splen¬ 
did variety, distinct in color from any other pink you may have. 
A most desirable sort for distant effect. Such a clear pure self 
color—it attracts the eye, even when blooming among a hundred 
different pinks. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 MARTHA BULLOCH (Brond) 
Very tall, very large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. We 
must judge Peonies not alone by individual taste but by perform¬ 
ance over a long period. The great Peonies receive the awards at 
the large shows. The Northwest Peony Show is staged alternate 
years in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Outside of the National Show, 
it is the largest Peony Show in America, taken year after year. 
Here Peonies of all varieties are shown at their best by expert 
showmen. The class that brings out the best flowers is the class 
that calls for ten vases, one each of ten varieties, three blooms to 
a vase. Into this class go the ten best vases of each exhibitor. 
Martha Bulloch is almost invariably in the exhibit that wins first. 
Bright old-rose-pink; center of lighter rose, and pink. Roselike 
fragrance. Tall, straight stems. Immense blooms. The most beau¬ 
tiful Peony of its size. A Brand Division $2.00 
9.0 MILTON HILL (Richardson) 
A very beautiful flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resem¬ 
bling Walter Faxon. Seen in the show room in first class form, this 
variety is impossible to beat in its color. It received a rating of 9.0 
with sixty-three voting. This is absolutely one of the finest of all 
Peonies. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.5 MME. EMILE GALLE ( Crousse) 
A delicate seashell-pink with touches of heliotrope and lavender. 
A very late variety resembling Tourangelle. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.4 MME. JULES DESSERT ( Dessert) 
One of the finest of all Peonies—flowers very large, well formed, 
with long broad petals. Blooms held rigidly erect on good straight 
stems of medium height. Color a creamy white, lighted with buff 
and salmon shades. A few golden stamens appear to beautify an 
already beautiful flower. Always among the main prize winners at 
the great shows. A Brand Division $1.50 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. Large and peculiarly beautiful in formation. 
The broad guards and half of the petals turn outward, gracefully 
downward, then up. Next is a distinct band of golden stamens as 
in Phyllis Kelway. Lighting up the entire flower, these stamens 
enclose a rosebud, cup-shaped center of large incurving petals. 
Color a Walter Faxon pink. Magnificent in the show room. One 
of the finest of all Peonies for use in decorative work such as the 
making up of large vases, etc. A Brand Division $2.00
