The Fleece (Kelsey 1936) A big, full petaled, fleecy double white with green gold 
at base of petals. Flowers are very large and fragrant. Stems strong, with light 
green foliage. Medium height. A strong contender for first honors among the 
whites. Received Honorable Mention at the A. P. S. Syracuse show. $6.00 
Thura Hires (Nicholls 1938) Large petaled white with a heavy overlay of lemon 
yellow. Late midseason bloomer. When first opening the yellow is decidedly 
apparent. In another year we will have a fine stock of this variety to offer, direct 
from the originator’s garden. A very lovely creation that you will want to add 
to your collection. $7.50 
Titania (Kelsey 1936) Very large glistening white with yellow stamens. Semi- 
double. Some full double. $5.00 
To Kalon (Kelsey 1936) Double late-midseason. A pure white of real exhibition 
quality. Mr. Kelsey’s description follows: “Gold, overlaid with silver and wrought 
into a perfect arrangement of petals, that’s To Kalon. It is distinctive on account 
of the golden tones coming from the depth of the flower. Bloom, large rose 
formation, midseason, semi-dwarf, good strong stems with dense foliage to the 
ground.” Mr. Kelsey chose the Greek name To Kalon, meaning “The Beautiful.” 
$10.00 
Trinket (Nicholls 1941) Double, midseason. A small glistening white with deep 
yellow underglow. Stiff stems. Medium height. Truly a gem. We have a fine 
stock of this variety to offer our customers. $3.00 
Victory (Thompson 1945) Too new for official rating, but we predict it will be 
among the highest-rated peonies we have. We are not alone in this opinion. 
First introduced and sold in 1945. This peony is now planted in many sections 
of the country, and we expect to get most satisfactory reports on its performance. 
A full double, exquisitely formed flower of pure white, with no markings. Opens 
a deep ivory, deepening to pink tones toward the center of bloom. Good, stiff, 
strong stems with remarkable substance of the petals that is equaled by a few 
and excelled by none. Grows 42 to 45 inches in height. One of the most out- 
standing creations in recent years. Due to the extreme excellence of this variety 
and scarcity of stock, the price will remain high for a number of years. 
$20.00 
Ward Welsh (Neeley 1929) 8.73 A double, late, ivory white that is very attractive. 
Some years it does not open freely and this fault is reflected in the rating it 
carries. Late opening varieties are often damaged by thrip infestation which is 
no fault of the flower. $3.00 
White Beauty (Auten 1931) A very lovely midseason double, exquisitely pearly 
white in color. Stems are strong and the bloom is freely produced. Very aptly 
named. Stock still scarce. This is a lovely creation and worthy of any fine 
planting. $1.50 
White Delight (Auten 1935) Very early double white. Has a very marked rose 
fragrance. A most pleasing introduction by Mr. Auten and very aptly named. 
$2.50 
White Shrine (Kelsey 1936) Double white with dashes of red. Outside petals pure 
white. Central petals pink and yellow with greenish tints at base. Early. $4.00 
White Water (Kelsey 1942) Very large, open petaled white. -A row looks like the 
spume on the Niagara Rapids above the falls. Good stems. Golden glow at base 
of petals. 8’ blooms not uncommon. Satisfying both in bigness and beauty. 
Large enough to suit all; beautiful enough to suit the most critical. $8.00
