Luxor (Sass 1935) An early, double variety. Immense white with true bomb center 
of pale yellow which soon fades to white after opening. Good stems of medium 
height, $3.00 
Marie Jacquin (Verdier) 8.3. Loose, double type, large, midseason variety. Guard 
petals are broad and white, enclosing an almost perfect white water lly 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. 
$1.00 
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. 
$15.00 
Mary Auten (Auten 1933) 9.41 This is a late, flesh white peony of much merit. Mr. 
Auten considers this one of the best of his many originations and named it in 
honor of his daughter. Stock still scarce and the demand should greatly exceed 
the supply. $7.50 
Mary B. Vories (Vories 1924) 9.07 A very lovely double midseason, Large, creamy 
white with a great deal of class. Fragrant. An excellent, lovely white that is 
outstanding. . $2.50 
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. 
$1.25 
Mont Blane (Lemoine 1899) 8.4 Double type, early midseason, very large. Open 
white with creamy center, developing almost to a globular form and proceeding 
to become a flattish, large cylindrical flower with a faintly pink center and a very 
few very fine red lines on some of the central petals. Faint fragrance. Medium 
height and strong stems. Ruddy foliage. $2.00 
Mosnglow (Rosefield 1939) Double, late midseason. General color is white with a 
pale glow of moonlight spreading over the entire flower. Wide petals ‘of beautiful 
form. Plant very neat in appearance. A flower of exquisite refinement. $6.00 
Mother’s Day (Kelsey 1936) Double, midseason, very tall, clear white. This is an 
exceptionally fine peony and one of the best we have seen. A gem of the first 
water. It is impossible to view this peony without being greatly impressed with 
its beauty and stateliness. We consider this a glorified Elsa Sass, if such a com- 
parison is possible. This will not be offered until next year. We are the co- 
purchaser of the entire originator’s stock. ‘
