KATHARINE HAVEMEYER (Thurlow)—9.0 . 2.50 
This large, double, light rose-pink peony blooms in 
midseason. It is considered one of the very, very 
good Thurlow varieties on account of its beautiful 
color and rosebud center. It has strong stems, good 
foliage, and deserves its high rating. 
KELWAY’S EXQUISITE (Kelway) ... 75 
This beautiful pink peony has very graceful stems. 
It blooms early in the season and when there are 
no severe storms it holds its blossoms above the 
ground. 
KELWAY’S GLORIOUS (Kelway)—9.8 . 2.00 
1 have been growing this most excellent white dou¬ 
ble peony for twenty-two years and it is the most 
reliable peony in its blooming habit in my garden. 
Its blooming season is long, the quality of the petals 
is excellent and it deserves the very high place 
it has attained in the peony world. It was the best 
selling white variety in my garden last year. 
KELWAY'S QUEEN (Kelway)—8.8 . 2.00 
This pure pink peony has been in very strong de¬ 
mand for the past twenty years. It retains its place 
by the beauty of its color and the quality of its 
petals. 
LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF (Kelway)—9.1 . 1.00 
This variety has tall strong stems and carries the 
large center blossoms excellently in the garden. 
Its petals fade until they are only blush pink, but 
before they drop from the stems these flowers are 
surrounded by the fresh opening deep pink buds 
on the laterals and for a few days the effect is very, 
very beautiful. This variety was the first one sold 
at $25.00. 
LA FAYETTE (Dessert)—7.8 . 50 
This pink double peony has very strong stems and 
at its introduction it had more of what is now 
known as the Walter Faxon color than any of the 
older varieties. It is still a very useful landscape 
variety and has greater value in the cutting garden. 
LA FRANCE (Lemoine)—9.0. 1.00 
This tall variety blooms in late midseason with large 
flowers of delicate pink on strong stems. 
LA LORRAINE (Lemoine)—8.6. 1.50 
This is a pure white variety and is most beautiful 
just before the last petals have opened into the 
bloom. The petals have good substance and size 
and the open flower gives the impression of extra 
high quality. 
LAST ROSE (Sass)..... 1.50 
Very late. Large, rather loose flowers of shining 
pink. This is one of the very last peonies to bloom 
and yet it always opens well for us every year. 
Tall strong stems, very free blooming. (From intro¬ 
ducer's description ). 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert)—8.8... 1.50 
Although this is known as a yellow peony yet 
unless its owner cuts the unopened buds and brings 
them indoors he will not find a particle of yellow 
in the bloom because the sun absorbs all the yellow 
very quickly after the petals are opened. It is al¬ 
most exactly like the variety Primevere which was 
originated by Mr. Lemoine. Very few experts can 
select a bloom of one variety if it is placed among
