PEONTIES 
RUTH CLAY (Kelsey 1935) What shall we say about this fine red peony? When we visited Mr. Kel- 
sey’s gardens, we were greatly impressed with it. Double, early, midseason. A rich living red 
that is different. Watch for this variety at the shows. It is a truly outstanding red that 
should be in every choice collection of peonies. No matter how many red peonies you have, 
you will find Ruth Clay different. Watch for this one as it is really fine.......... Each $15.00
