WHITE JAPANESE PEONIES 
Isani-Gidui (Origin unknown) 9.3 The high rating of this beautiful white Jap speaks 
well for its popularity. Very large, midseason variety, with two rows of broad, 
rounded, smooth guard petals of pure white. Center is a rounded mass of thin | 
staminodes of rich buff-yellow. Carpels green, tipped pale yellow. Moderately 
tall. Foliage intensely crinkled. Splendid bloomer; vigorous grower. One 
you will want in your garden without fail. This variety and Toro-no-maki are 
twin whites that are outstanding and really worthwhile. You can’t go wrong 
with either. $2.00

nese type, midseason bloom. Color, white, with a blush cast at first, Yellow

Takaradama (Origin unknown) 8.7 Here is a grand white Japanese variety for your 
garden. A fine growing, large, broad petaled white with a lemon-yellow center. 
A good grower and you will find it a most worthy addition to your planting. 
$1.25 
Toro-no-maki (Origin unknown) 9.0 <A very lovely, white Japanese variety with a 
prominent yellow center. Very similar to Isani-Gidui, but we have always con- 
sidered it a stronger grower. Petals have great substance and are of heavy 
texture, Strong grower with stiff stems and a most worthy addition to any 
peony planting. $2.00 
Yeso (Origin unknown) 7.7 A very interesting and attractive white, with tints of 
yellow in its makeup. Strong, upright grower that adds greatly in producing a 
charming landscape effect. Flowers excellent for floral work.

LIGHT PINK JAPANESE PEONIES 
Alma (Shaylor 1916) 8.5 A midseason Jap type of medium size. Color is a light 
pink, darker on the edges and in the middle petals, paling to white at base. 
Center is formed of incurved, narrow, canary-yellow petaloids and greenish- 
yellow carpels. Strong stems of medium height, with good foliage. Sometimes 
feathers in center. $1.50 
Apple Biossom (Origin unknown) 7.7 This rating was given in 1925, and we 
feel that it is not fair to the variety, as in our estimation it deserves a some- 
what higher rating. Also Known under the Japanese name Rei-kai-zan. Very 
aptly named, -for it is a true apple blossom pink. Very dainty and good to look 
at. Plant has good growing habits and is medium in height. Good, free bloomer. 
$1.50 
Kathelo (Kelsey 1934) Not yet rated. The orchid of peonies. Japanese type. An 
exotic blending of shades of pink and yellow, rather difficult to adequately de- 
scribe. A vigorous grower. Very tall. Stock still rather limited. One to put 
on your want list. $3.00 
Kukeni-Jishi (Origin unknown) 9.09 Japanese type, large, early midseason. The 
delicate flesh-pink guard petals are large, smooth and evenly rounded; of un- 
usual substance, possessing a satin sheen. Pale rose shading on outside of
