Marie Jacquin (Verdier) 8.3 Loose, double type, large, midseason variety. Guard 
petals are broad and white, enclosing an almost perfect white water lily center 
that is very attractive and appealing. There is a large cluster of yellow stamens 
in the center of bloom. Medium height and a profuse bloomer. Under good 
cultivation, the bloom is nearly double. Without disbudding, it produces a 
splendid decorative effect, as the flowers come in large clusters. Must be dis- 
budded for show flowers. Delightful and exciting for floral arrangements.

Marie Lemoine (Calot 1869) 8.5 A late, very large, double white, with shades of 
crimson on some of the edges of petals. The whole flower is strongly suffused 
with yellow from hidden staminodes. Very fragrant. Rather dwarf growing 
habit. Be sure to secure clean healthy roots for results. Considerable unhealthy 
stock of this variety has been disseminated. $1.00 
Marilla Beauty (Kelsey 1940) A new beauty not yet rated officially. A large 
blush-white double of bewitching loveliness. A late bloomer of rare charm. 
The blush coloring is more pronounced toward the center of bloom, radiating to 
a lighter shade. We saw the original plant of this variety and it was breath- 
taking. It’s just one of those varieties you feel that you must have in the 
garden. A wonderful show bloom that will hold its own with the elite of the 
peony world. The large, broad petals have wonderful substance.

Milton Hill (Richardson 1891) 9.0 Large, late double, very light shell-pink, with 
‘some flowers showing a few red blotches on the central petals. Faintly fragrant. 
Strong stems. Excellent foliage, medium height and very free bloomer. Just a 
little temperamental, but a really fine variety when at its best.

Mrs, A. B. Franklin (Franklin 1928) 9.28 A large double, pure white, compact, rose-

Mrs. A. M. Brand (Brand 1925) 9.04 Full double type, very large,. A clear, white 
flower of splendid form. Guards broad, and slightly differentiated; center com- 
posed of broad, graduated petals of remarkable substance. This is a late bloom- - 
ing variety and pleasingly fragrant. Awarded Gold Medal of the A.P.S. in 
1923, and many awards since that time. $4.00 
Mrs. Frank Beach (Brand 1925) 9.0 A very large, late, creamy white flower, fully 
double. Plant is rather dwarf growing, but the stems are stiff and sturdy, hold-

be absent. : $2.00

Flower rather roughly formed. ~ $1.00
