Mrs. Edward Harding (Shaylor 1918) 9.3 A large, midseason double that has had a 
great deal of publicity due to the fact that it was originally introduced at $100.00 
per division. A number were sold at that price. Medium height, free flowering, 
stiff stems, excellent foliage. Due to most intensive propagation by the origina- 
tor, the vitality of this variety was weakened and got off to a rather bad start. 
Took several years to make complete recovery. $1.50 
Mrs. Frank Beach (Brand 1925) 9.0 A very large, late, creamy white flower, fully 
- double. Plant is rather dwarf growing, but the stems are stiff and sturdy, hold- 
ing the flower erect. A very good addition to any planting of the better peonies. 
$3.50 
Mrs. J. V. Edlund (J. V. Edlund 1929) 9.1 A wonderful show flower, large pure 
white of perfect form. A hard one to beat on the show table and a runner up at 
annual peony shows for highest honors. As a show flower it is unsurpassed. 
Although introduced some years ago stock is still scarce due to heavy demand. 
Fragrant. This variety always prominently displayed at Minnesota peony shows, 
its native state of introduction. $6.50 
Nancy Nicholls (Nicholls 1941) A grand white with a pink suffusion at the center 
of bloom that is most artistic. Here is a variety really worth while and we are 
indeed fortunate in having a good stock to offer direct from the originator’s 
garden. This is one of the new, fine peonies still unrated. Watch for it at the 
shows and you will be impressed with its beauty which is very appealing. $8.00 © 
Nell Shaylor (Shaylor 1919) White and gold perhaps adequately describe this variety 
as far as color is concerned. Rather a dwarf grower and exceedingly floriferous. 
Flower rather roughly formed. $1.00 
New Era (Franklin 1939) Not yet officially rated. This can be termed a pure white 
Mons. Jules Elie, which it resembles. On the broad, rounded, white guard 
petals rest a giant white “mum.” Guards are prominent as the flower opens, but 
the central bomb brightens and expands to form a perfect Mons. Jules Elie in 
glistening white. Midseason bloomer. $3.00 
Nimbus (Andrews 1923) 9.03 Double, full deep flower of palest rose fading to white. 
Late bloomer. Tall growing. A very distinguished flower. This will make a 
fine addition to any peony planting. $2.00 
Nina Secor (Secor 1921) 9.0 Double type; medium to large; midseason. Pure white 
with yellow glow in depths. Fine crimson edge on a few of the central petals. 
Guard petals are splashed with maroon. Average height. Very floriferous. 
Foliage narrow, incurved and dark green. Stems need support for best results. 
$1.50 
Odile (Doriat 1928) 9.1 Double, late midseason. Ltrge 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 
Party Gown (Kelsey 1942) Very large, flesh white double. Full petaled rose forma- 
tion. Profuse bloomer on strong stems. Faintly fragrant. To see it in full 
bloom makes it a “must have.” ‘You can be most liberal in the use of super- 
latives on Party Gown and not fully describe it. Loveliness well dressed with 
freshness and charm. $5.00
