Laura Kelsey (Kelsey 1941) - This variety was formerly named Myra Hess. Fully 
double, midseason, long pointed buds that open out large, fluffy, delicate light 
pink flowers, fading lighter with ivory tints at base of petals, some tipped and 
others splashed with carmine. Blooms simply immense, 7% to 8 inches in diam- 
eter. A very charming flower with strong stems. A variety that should be added 
to every collection. A limited number to be offered this season. $15.00 
Lulu Little (Little 1938) Late midseason, light pink. Mr. Little, who originated this 
variety, is one of our most able peony authorities and a noted judge of peonies, 
selected :this variety from his seedlings and gave it his daughter’s name; 
something he would not have done had the peony not possessed real merit. Stock 
very limited. Will not be offered until next year. 
Marietta Sisson (Sass 1933) 9.02 Midseason, light pink double. A very loosely built 
flower that is very attractive. Stems good and held rigidly erect. Another of 
the good Sass originations. $3.50 
Minerva (Sass 1930) 8.94 Symmetrical white flowers with a hint of pink that is 
very entrancing and lovely. This variety might properly be classed with the 
whites as the pink is not very pronounced. Flower is large and has good 
substance. $2.00 
Minnie Shaylor (Shaylor 1919) 8.9 Semi-double type, large, midseason variety. This 
is a charming flower with several rows of fluffy, crepe like petals of clear, light 
pink, serrated at tips near center. Stamens very prominent. Anthers golden 
yellow with paler filaments. A very lovely flower that is simply stunning in the 
garden and landscape. $2.00 
Minuet (Franklin 1931) 9.19 It richly deserves this rating. Very large, full rose 
type. Color, a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut flower, as it has 
splendid keeping qualities. A recent introduction of Mr. Franklin that has re- 
ceived numerous awards and a variety that has truly outstanding merit. 
$4.50 
Mme. Emile Galle (Crousse 1881) 8.5 Double type, large and late. Very large, rose 
pink which’is more strongly defined in the center and without crimson markings. 
Fair rose fragrance. Very delicate color and texture. Medium height and free 
flowering. Good stems and foliage. $1.50 
Modella (Betscher 1920) 8.8 Double type, large, midseason variety. Uniform light- 
pink guards, wide and evenly rounded, distinctly differentiated from the short, 
irregular, creamy collar that surrounds the broad petals which graduate to a 
cupped or rose-bud center. Delicate, sweet fragrance. Medium tall, upright, 
strong stems. Good healthy foliage. $3.00 
Moonstone (Murawska 1942) Here is a recent origination that has made a favorable 
impression on peony lovers. A midseason double, perfectly formed blush pink 
that is especially attractive in transmitted light. Its name indicates its coloring. 
Stock still very limied. Very much worth while. $10.00 
Mrs. Livingston Farrand (Nicholls 1935) 9.36 We consider this one of the most out- 
standing originations, as far as color is concerned, that has been introduced 
in many years. A double, late-midseason variety. Large, well formed flowers_ 
of the purest pink yet seen in Chinensis peonies. A really sensational flower 
that is outstanding in the showroom or home garden. If Col. Nicholls had only 
originated this one variety, he would have left to posterity a living monument 
to his genius. Very fortunately, he has brought out several equally outstanding 
creations, some of which we are offering you in our list, and others will appear 
when available in some quantity. $20.00
