$1.50 
Odile (Doriat 1928) Double, late midseason. Large white sphere with lilac tinted 
center. This is a fine peony and make no mistake about it. Worthy of any 
garden planting and it is also a fine show flower. Another fine French origina- 
tion. $5.00 
Primevere (Lemoine 1907) 8.6 One of the near yellow Chinensis peonies that hy- 
bridizers have been working on for years to obtain a real, full, double yellow. 
Anemone type of medium size. Midseason bloomer. The flower is rather flat, with 
creamy white cupped guards, rarely showing spots of red. Center composed of 
short, narrow petals of canary-yellow, becoming light with age. Fragrant. Good. 
dark green, rather coarse foliage. When well grown from good, healthy stock, 
stems are ample to hold the bloom erect. $1.25 
Rare China (Kelsey 1935) A semi-double midseason variety. A lovely flower of 
blush white with five or six rows of guard petals surrounding a large center of 
yellow stamens, charmingly arranged like a beautiful China plate with a touch 
of red and gold in the center. Seems to grow more beautiful daily. Resembles 
Minnie Shaylor in general makeup. wes $8.50 
Snow Ball (Franklin 1935) 8.95 Double, late kee riety. A perfect ball of 
white. Very dependable and desirable. You will like this one. $2.50 
Solange (Lemoine 1907) 9.27 Here is a beauty that takes a long time to make its ap- 
pearance from the opening bud. The petals are so densely packed, they produce 
the effect of two or three flowers trying to develop from one bloom. Color 
creamy white with a suffusion of buff and pale salmon pink. It takes so long 
to open that unfavorable weather often spots the bloom. It is so beautiful that 
additional precaution would pay big dividends in charm and beauty of the 
finished bloom. As with many of the Lemoine varieties, this one must be observed 
for healthy stock. Listed with the very finest peonies grown due to its distinct 
coloring. $2.00 
Thura Hires (Nicholls 1938) Large petaled white with a heavy overlay of lemon 
yellow. Late midseason bloomer. When first opening the yellow is decidedly 
apparent. In another year we will have a fine stock of this variety to offer, direct 
from the originator’s garden. A very lovely creation that you will want to add 
to your collection, Only a limited amount to offer this season. $5.00 
To Kalon (Kelsey 1936) Double late-midseason. A pure white of real exhibition 
quality. Mr. Kelsey’s description follows: “Gold, overlaid with silver and wrought 
into a perfect arrangement of petals, that’s To Kalon. It is distinctive on account 
of the golden tones coming from the depth of the flower. Bloom, large rose 
formation, midseason, semi-dwarf, good strong stems with dense foliage to the 
ground.” Mr. Kelsey chose the Greek name To Kalon, meaning ‘“‘The Beautiful.” 
None for sale this year. 
Victory (Thompson 1945) Too new for official rating, but we predict it will be 
among the highest-rated peonies we have. We are not alone in this opinion. 
First introduced and sold in 1945. This peony is now planted in many sections 
of the country, and we expect to get most satisfactory reports on its performance. 
A full double, exquisitely formed flower of pure white, with no markings. Opens 
a deep ivory, deepening to pink tones toward the center of bloom. Good, stiff, 
strong stems with remarkable substance of the petals that is equaled by. a few
