Mrs. John M. Kleitsch (Brand 1925) 9.0 A tall, stately, deep pink that comes very 
late in the season. Due to this fact, it is better suited for locations where the 
June sun does not get too torrid. The petals are long, broad and pointed and 
of exceptional substance. Full rose type and pleasingly fragrant. It brightens 
up the garden after most of our favorites have thrown off their decorative and 
colorful robes for the season. $2.50 
Old Forge (Kelsey 1936) Rose pink, double. High built crown. Medium sized flowers 
on long, strong stems. $2.00 
President F. D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 8.85 A full double, late, tall, deep pink 
variety that is taking its place among the elite in peonydom. We find this a 
splendid, sturdy grower, and flowers are borne on strong, stiff stems. Foliage a. 
dark green. A variety you will admire in your garden. $5.00 
Rosada (Nicholls 1942) Late midseason. Very large and tall, wide petaled, full double 
of medium rose pink. Honorable Mention Certificate by A.P.S. A very desirable 
acquisition for any fine peony collection. $5.00 
Rosalie (Auten 1927) 8.78 Here is a little gem for your garden that can occupy a 
space where a tall-growing variety would not be satisfactory. As the name 
implies, it has the appearance of a large rose. Has some stamens, but they are 
well hidden in the depth of the bloom. Full double, medium-sized bloom. 
Clear, rose color, $2.50 
Rose Glory (Otis 1940) Double, large, rose colored flower. A new color departure. 
Fragrant, early-midseason. Semi-dwarf. Good, strong stems. Stock very scarce 
“and little available. $15.00 
Rose Fluff (Kelsey 1938) Double. Very large rose-pink. Late, mid-season variety. 
Wonderful for those who like a strong rose shade of pink. $5.00 
Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine 1906) 9.0 A double, late-midseason variety that is much 
in demand as a florists’ variety. The dark rose-pink color, with petals edged a 
trifle lighter, gives an attractive appearance. Was originated in 1906, but still 
is a very popular variety, as it carries in storage very well. Also will be found 
in large collections on the show table competing with more recent originations.

Spring Beauty (Nicholls 1933) 8.43 A very early, huge, rose pink bloom that has 
much appeal as it opens the season in the large double varieties. We like this 
one very well and think you will. Much admired by visitors in our garden. $2.50 
Strassburg (Goos & Koenemann 1911) 8.4 Double, very large, midseason blooming 
variety. Giant outer petals forming a hollow-centered flower of fine form and 
great size. Pale old-rose or lavender-pink, illumined by yellow stamens in the 
center of the flower, and a pale yellow base on most of the petals. Tall, strong 
stems. An effective flower for shows, also fine for landscape effect. $1.00 
The Nathans (Kelsey 1937) Large, rose-pink double. Semi-dwarf. Pleasing fra- 
grance. Broad outer petals. Center closely twisted and overlapping. $2.50 
RED PEONIES 
Adolphe Rousseau (Dessert & Mechin 1890) Here is an old, tried and true variety 
that can be depended upon. Double type, very large, midseason, lustrous red 
shaded maroon, showing yellow stamens and light red stigmas in center. Stems 
strong and vigorous. Odor not pleasing as is the case with most reds. Fine for 
arrangements. Holds up well. $1.50
