Gleam of Gold (Sass 1937) A double, midseason variety. White guard petals with 
yellow petals intermingled in the collar. Good, strong stems. The narrow petals 
in the center are very brilliant deep-yellow, lighting up the flower and giving 
the bloom a very attractive appearance. The flowers are very large. Its name is 
adequately descriptive of its general color appearance. A lovely and most de- 
sirable origination. $4.00 
Harry F. Little (Nicholls 1933) 9.42 Very large white with a faint blush of pink in 
the inner petals. When at its best a faultless flower. Awarded the Gold Medal 
of the American Peony Society for excellence. This variety not as well known as 
it should be, as the stock has been difficult to obtain. We are co-purchasers of 
the originator’s entire stock. None for sale this season. Will have a good stock 
next year. 
- Isolene (Lemoine 1916) 8.3 Anemone type. Large, midseason. Guards cup-like, 
fading lighter. Has center tuft of canary-yellow, fading to almost white, marked 
with prominent crimson spots. $1.00 
James Kelway (Kelway 1900) 8.7 Double, very large. Opens a very faint pink fad- 
ing to almost white with age, but still retaining a slight flush on outer petals. 
Foliage good. Stems tall. $1.00 
John M. Good (Welsh 1921) 9.3. A large, midseason double. Outer petals very large, 
graduating smaller and smaller toward a flat open center which does not show 
stamens or carpels. Outer petals very pale pink at first, shading to ivory white 
or pure white in the center, illumined by a yellowish tint in the depths of the 
flower. Richly fragrant, tall, vigorous, stiff stems. Light green foliage. Requires 
some time to get fully established to have it at its best. $1.75 
Kelway’s Glorious (Kelway 1909) 9.56 This peony is aptly named, as it is a glorious 
creation and a most popular white. There is a creamy diffusion in the depth of 
the flower, and occasionally there will be a few crimson edges on center petals. 
Strong, roselike fragrance. Free flowering with strong stems. A peony that is 
much sought after and admired. $3.00 
La Lorraine (Lemoine 1901) 9.17 One of the finest whites we have for the show 
table or garden planting. Cream white when first opening, with a faint touch 
of salmon pink. A very fine flower of excellent form on strong stems. A very 
free bloomer and always ranks among the very best at our annual exhibitions. 
Clean stock must be secured for best results. : $2.00 
Laura Dessert (Dessert 1913) 8.8 When first opening, this variety is pale pink in 
bud, opening cream or pale yellow, becoming white. This is not a full double 
but an anemone type that many people prefer. This variety could well be 
classed with the yellow group sometimes offered. While not yellow through- 
out, the large center of yellow carpels gives it that general appearance, Moderate- 
ly fragrant. $2.00 
Le Cygne (Lemoine 1907) 9.42 One of the highest rated whites, tinged ivory when 
opening. Full double, very early blooming variety. Moderately fragrant. Fo- 
liage large, dark green. For years this was the highest rated peony. Will be 
found in any large planting. $3.25. 
Lois Kelsey (Kelsey 1934) While this variety is listed as a double we would not 
class it as such. A midseason, flat flower, with long, narrow, deeply cut petals 
extending from the center like rays of the sun. Something out of the ordinary 
if you prefer odd peonies, as it is distinctly unusual. Has the appearance of a 
flower not fully transformed or constant, although it does come the same every 
year, Looks something like a cactus dahlia. $2.50
