Marilla Beauty (Kelsey 1940) A new 
beauty not yet rated officially. A 
large blush-white double of be- 
witching loveliness. A late bloomer 
of rare charm. The blush coloring is 
more pronounced toward the center 
of bloom, radiating to a lighter shade. 
We saw the original plant of this 
variety and it was breath-taking. 
It’s iust one of those varieties you 
feel that you must have in the gar- 
den. A wonderful show bloom that 
will hold its own with the elite of the 
peony world. The large, broad 

petals have wonderful substance.

Le Cygne 
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. $5.00 
Mary E. Nicholls (Nicholls 1941) This variety too recently introduced to be officially 
rated A grand white peony similar to Kelway’s Glorious and any peony that 
ean achieve that distinction has really gone places. Col. Nicholls is a keen 
judge of peonies and has chosen this one as outstanding. You will be fortunate, 
indeed, if you get one for your collection. Stock is still scarce but we will be 
able to accept orders for a limited number. $20.00 
Mel Gedge (Kelsey 1937) For those who worship bigness, this flower satisfies that 
ambition. A huge, milk-white double that unfolds into a charming globe of 
loveliness. Rarely do you see such size and beauty so skillfully combined. Early, 
midseason bloomer. $5.00 
Miss Innocence (Kelsey 1936) Double, flesh white flowers. Fragrant. Dainty 7” 
blooms, loosely formed. Broad outer petals becoming smaller and incurved as 
they reach the center bloom. Perfectly formed, early midseason bloomer. $5.00 
Mother’s Day (Kelsey 1936) Double, midseason, very tall, clear white. This is an 
exceptionally fine peony and one of the best we have seen. A gem of the first 
water. It is impossible to view this peony without being greatly impressed with 
its beauty and stateliness. We consider this a glorified Elsa Sass, if such a com- 
parison is possible. The long wiry stems and the clear white charmingly shaped 
blooms that come in profusion every year make this an ideal cut-flower. We are 
the co-purchaser of the entire originator’s stock. $10.00 
Mme. Jules Dessert (Dessert 1909) 9.4 Double type, very large, midseason. Long, 
smooth petals of flesh white. A few stamens show in the depth of the flower. 
Tall, very floriferous. Lovely to look at. $1.25 
Mrs. A. B. Franklin (Franklin 1928) 9.28 A large double, pure white, compact, rose- 
type bloom of much beauty and refinement. Much like a large white rose. A 
sturdy, upright grower. Late bloomer and winner of many awards, including 
First Class Certificate of A. P. S. $3.00
