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 
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 lily 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. 
$1.50 
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 
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
