Wilton Lockweod (Shaylor 1917) 8.8. Double type, very large, midseason. variety. 
The bloom is extremely large and the color a light-rose pink. Outer petals 
opening cupped, but relaxing with age, showing a long, incurved center, marked 
with prominent red splashes. Illumined throughout by the bright yellow glow 
from the concealed stamens. Tall growing; good foliage. A very desirable 
peony. $2.00 
DARK PINK PEONIES 
Auguste Dessert (Dessert 1920) 8.7 This double type peony is composed of big, 
round petals, symmetrically graduated to a loose center which shows a few 
stamens; each petal edged with a narrow, silvery border.’ An established plant 
will show several shades of color when in bloom. When first opening the flower 
might rightly be classed as a very light red or deep pink. With each passing 
day the flower lightens until it is an extremely light pink, making an interest- 
ing subject for the border. The silvery edging makes the flower distinctive. A 
violet, or lilac rose, is commonly described as the color of this variety. 
$1.50 
Blanche King (Brand 1922) 8.9 Deep, dark pinks are always admired in the garden 
planting and Blanche King fills the bill completely in this respect. The flower 
is very large, symmetrical and true rose type. A glowing, deep pink that holds 
its color in the field or garden. Very late bloomer and a consistent winner at 
our National Peony Shows in this color class. $4.50 
Cathie Ann (Auten 1942) Not yet officially rated. A double, late-midseason variety 
of deep rose-pink. Flower is held rigidly erect on tall, stiff stems. Ideal for 
cut flowers. $20.00 
Claire Dubois (Crousse 1886) 8.7 Bright rose-pink, with considerable blue in its 
composition; almost a mauve pink. This color pales toward the tips of the 
petals, whose serrated edges give the flower a crisp appearance. Odor is not 
pleasant. Very full, rose-type bloom on strong, stiff, stems. Moderately tall. 
Foliage dark green. A good, standard variety that behaves well in the garden. 
$1.00 . 
Ella Christiansen (Brand 1925) 9.0 No matter how many peonies you have already 
planted, you will find this a worthy addition. The color is a pleasing dark pink, 
not as deep as Blanche King. Petals are long, narrow and heavily serrated on 
the edges. Flower first opens cup shaped and then assumes a flat posture. A 
most dependable variety and irresistibly appealing to the eye. Should be more 
widely known and grown. $3.00 
Gloriana (Neeley 1919) 9.06 Double, late-midseason, extra large, deep violaceous 
pink. Sometimes classed as an orchid pink. The rating puts this in a class with 
the better varieties. $2.00 
Jeannot (Dessert 1918) 9.2 A pale, rose-pink, deepening to old rose in the center, 
with a distinct overcast of pale violet. Slightly fragrant. Very late; medium 
height, free flowering on stiff stems. $1.50 
Lady Kate (Vories 1924) 8.85 A very late blooming pink and unquestionably one 
of the very best late ones. The flowers are graceful, rose type, on tall, straight 
stems. The color is a sparkling Paul Neyron pink and is much admired by all 
who see it. $2.00 
Lake O’Silver (Franklin 1920) 8.6 A full double with soft rose petals, silver tipped, 
suggesting the white-edged waves upon a lake. Very large petals and anthers 
throughout. A rather loose, flat bloom coming in mid-season. Specimen bloom 
measure 7.to 8 inches in diameter. 3 $1.25
