Irving Flint (Kelsey 1935) Late-midseason, double pink, Richly fragrant and lovely. 
Resembles Le Cygne in form. Medium sized bloom. Light green foliage. Holds 
form and color remarkably well. Rich, both in color and odor. $10.00 
James Boyd (Thurlow 1919) 8.9 Double type. Large and late. Flesh-pink, tinted 
cream and buff in center. Blush white with age. Delighful fragrance. Upright 
habit with stiff stems. A very good peony. $1.50 
Judge Berry (Brand 1907) 8.6 Very large and double, light-rose pink of an even 
shade with flesh tones in center, brightened by vivid yellow stamens in center 
and collar of flower. Medium height. One of Mr. Brand’s very good introductions 
but due to its early blooming season, rarely seen at peony shows. Slight 
fragrance. $1.50 
Judge Snook (Good & Reese 1930) 9.23 A late midseason variety that is one of the 
worthwhile originations as indicated by its rating. The bloom is large and by 
some it is listed as cream white. This is doubtless the result of fading of the 
true color when first opening. $5.00 
June Day (Franklin 1920) 9.0 Large midseason double. Light, old-rose pink, with 
white outer petals graduating to a fine symmetrical rose bud center, showing 
an occasional crimson marking. Good fragrance but mild. Medium height, 
vigorous, free flowering. A very desirable addition to any peony planting. $1.50 
Katharine Havemeyer (Thurlow 1921) 9.0 Double type, large midseason. Color is a 
light rose-pink with a tint of old rose. Mild rose fragrance. Average height, 
excellent stems and very floriferous. Awarded Certificate of Honorable Mention, 
London, Ont., June 16, 1922. $2.50 
Lady Alexandra Duff (Kelway 1902) 9.1 A lovely creation, much admired in any 
planting. To get very satisfactory results, do not disbud too generously, as the 
lateral buds will greatly prolong the season of bloom. Of course, if they are 
desired for show purposes, they must be disbudded. Blooms are borne in 
clusters, and with smaller, saucer shaped side flowers. Stems strong; foliage 
abundant. Very artistic. $1.50 
Lancaster (Kelsey 1937) Medium pink, double. Semi-dwarf, midseason. Large, 
heavily petaled, stiff stems. $8.00 
La Perle (Crousse 1886) 8.5 Double, large, midseason. Light old-rose pink. Slightly 
darker toward center. This is a most dependable variety. Fine show flower. 
$1.50 
Laura Kelsey (Kelsey 1941) his variety was formerly named Myra Hess. Fully 
double, midseason, long pointed buds that open out large, fluffy, delicate light 
pink flowers, fading lighter with ivory tints at base of petals, some tipped and 
others splashed with carmine. Blooms simply immense, 71% to 8 inches in diam- 
eter. A very charming flower with strong stems. A variety that should be added 
to every collection. A limited number to be offered this season. Defies wind 
and driving rain due to stiff stems. $15.00 
Laura Treman (Nicholls 1943) Double midseason, large blush with fine form. Medium 
height. This is a new one, little known and we are fortunate in having a fair 
stock direct from the originators gardens. $5.00 
Laverne Christman (Brand 1925) 8.91 We believe this variety should have a higher 
rating. When Mr. Brand made his outstanding display of $50 peonies at the 
National Peony Show in St. Paul, Minn., in 1923, Laverne was given the liberty 
of selecting one to bear her name. She chose this variety, which resembles a 
very good Therese in color, form and general makeup, but comes into bloom
