Frances Willard (Brand 1907) 9.1 Double, large, midseason. Opens a very pale 
pink, changing to white, with a yellow suffusion in collar. Shows faint red 
lines on edge of some center petals. Mildly fragrant. A variety that will give 
satisfaction each year. Heavy dark foliage. $2.00 
Frankie Curtis (Vories 1924) 9.3. This variety gives the impression of a white 
Standard Bearer as it is of rather dwarf habit. Flowers full double, opening a 
faint pink fading to white. Guards broad and evenly rounded, surrounding a 
high, globular, chrysanthemum-like center of incurved petals. Free flowering. 
Heavy dark green foliage. $2.00 
Golden Dawn (Gumm 1923) 8.43 A late, midseascn double. White guards and 
bright yellow center. Stems excellent. One of the best “near yellows.” We 
most emphatically disagree with the statement in the Peony Manual that it is 
impossible to distinguish this variety from Primevere or Laura Dessert. We 
have a grave suspicion the party writing up the description of Golden Dawn 
in the manual did not have the true variety before him. A novice could dis- 
tinguish the identity between Golden Dawn and Laura Dessert. The former 
variety has longer central petals and is fully double, while Laura Dessert and 
Primevere are both anemone type. Laura Dessert has a brighter, more pro- 
nounced yellow center and does not fade as quickly. The same is true of 
Primevere. $2.00
