Double Varieties 
PHYLLIS KELWAY (Kelway)—9.0 
In my judgment, this is one of the great peonies 
of the world. It is semi-double with a very bright 
shade of pink which carries well on the landscape 
and which does not fade out entirely even in the 
brightest sunshine. It has many laterals and it blooms 
through a very long season. It is one of the few 
peonies which has my unqualified recommendation 
as a variety to take to the National Peony Show 
and also as a landscape variety.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE (Brand) 
This excellent late pink peony is very near the 
same color as Blanche King. The stems are strong 
and of sufficient strength to hold up the large 
blooms so that this variety is both a prize winner 
and a landscape variety.

PRESIDENT WILSON (Thurlow)—9.3 
For many years I have believed this to be the very 
best double pink variety from the famous Thurlow 
garden. Its color is beautiful, the size is splendid 
and the stems, after being properly disbudded, will 
hold the main blooms gracefully.

PRIMEYERE (Lemoine)—8.6 
This variety is known as The Yellow Peony but if 
you wish to display your Yellow Peony to your 
friends, you must follow these instructions carefully. 
As blooming time approaches, procure from your 
grocer a dozen or more brown paper bags at least 
6 inches long, also at least as many very small rub¬ 
ber bands which are small enough to encircle two of 
your fingers and not drop off. When the growing 
buds expand enough to show some white or pink 
between the outer green cover petals, you should 
immediately cover the bud with one of the paper 
bags, and use the rubber band to hold the bag in 
position. At least once each day visit the plant and 
clasp each bag. If you can feel that the petals are 
expanding the bag, then cut the stem, carry the bud 
indoors, place the stem in a vase filled with water, 
after which remove the bag and find your genuine 
Yellow Peony. The pink guard petals will bleach 
white but the inner petals will retain the attractive 
yellow color for several days.

PRIAM (Sass) 
This is a new variety for my garden and I am 
pleased with it. It is an early semi-dwarf, red, double 
variety, and all veteran peony growers know that we 
do not have too many of them.
