to Baroness Schroeder.

mine touch. Large, perfectly formed flower. Semi-rose type. 
Strong grower and free bloomer. One of the best of the Brand 
seedlings. Late midseason. 
FRANCOIS ORTEGAT (6.7) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50

for red. Midseason to late.

Solange color. 
FRANKIE CURTIS (Vor) (8.94) Each $1.00 
A large delicate white. Very free flowering. Stiff stems and 
known as the “White Mons. Jules Elie.” 
FRANKLIN'S PRIDE (Franklin) (9.45) Each $2.50 
Very large full rose type, even pink, stiff stems, vigorous with 
leathery foliage, good bloomer, fragrant, late, 38 inches. Re- 
ceived Blue Ribbon at N. W. Show, Minneapolis, 1931. Much 
admired. An improved Walter Faxon. 
FRED W. PRATT (Kelsey, 1935) None for sale this year 
Double. Pure white outer petals, inner petals yellow, overcast 
with pure white. Earlier than Primevere, which it resembles. 
Deeper shade of yellow at base of petals. Anemone center. 
FRONTIER (Kelsey, 1941) Each $10.00 
Large light pink, double. Very late. Very full petaled massive 
bloom and pink in color. This is a variety of considerable 
merit. Particularly valuable on account of the lateness of the 
variety which considerably extends the blooming season. A 
“honey,” and you will want to add it to your collection. 
GALENA (Auten No. 2491) Each $1.50 
An entirely new shade, mulberry, or maybe very deep rose. 
Bomb type, late, on tall stiff stems, with low foliage; a perfect 
plant for commercial cut-flowers, much admired by many peo- 
ple. It is not fragrant, but has exceptional substance. Recom- 
mended for the northern half of the peony belt only. 
GARDEN PRINCESS (Neeley) (9.1) Each $1.00 
A rich silvery soft light pink fading to white. Outer petals 
large and uniformly rounded, making a flower of pleasing form. 
Golden stamens intermingled with center petals add charm to 
the flower. Vigorous, tall growing, midseason. 
GEORGE W. PEYTON (Nicholls, 1938) (9.43) Each $5.00 
A late flesh colored peony of outstanding merit. We have grown 
this fine peony for the past few years and have been much im- 
pressed with it. Mr. Peyton is an acknowledged authority on 
peonies. We think you will like it sufficiently well to add it to 
your collection. There is a pinkish blush tone in the flower that 
adds to its beauty. Fully double, good stems, medium height. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor, 1908) (8.9) Each $1.00 
Pale rose pink, with a few flecks of crimson. Very large, flat 
flower. Strong grower. One of the finest. Late midseason. 
GIGANTEA Each $1.00 
Lilae rose pink, early, good. 
GINETTE (Dessert, 1915) (8.6) Each 75c 
Very soft flesh pink, shaded salmon. Frequently flecked with 
carmine. Large, imbricated cup-shaped flower. Fragrant. Free 
bloomer in clusters. 
GLEAM OF GOLD (Sass) Each $1.00 
White with a broad yellow collar, creating an exquisite combi- 
nation of gold and white. 
GLORIANA (9.06) 
A large and distinct rose pink. 
Each $1.00 
GOLDEN DAWN (Gumm, 1923) (8.43) 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
A late, midseason double. White guards and bright yellow cen- 
ter. Stems excellent. One of the best ‘near yellows.” 
GOLDEN HARVEST Each 50c 
Pink and yellow. 
GOVERNOR FULLER (Thurlows and Stranger) (8.66) 
Each $4.00 
Large globular flowers of fresh shell pink, shading somewhat 
deeper toward the center with a cupped effect. Fragrant. Late. 
GRACE BATSON (Sass, 1927) (8.88) Each $1.50 
A midseason, medium pink variety that has met with most fa- 
vorable acclaim by peony fanciers. Full double, good strong 
stems that hold flowers erect. Mr. Sass has originated some 
fine peonies in the past and considers this one of his good 
originations. 
GRACE GEDGE (Kelsey, 1934) Each $5.00 
Fully double, cream-white flush with a delicate shade of pink. 
Late bloomer. A flower of exquisite refinement. Resembles 
Nick Shaylor in color. 
GRACE KELSEY (Kelsey, 1935) Each $10.00 
Double, midseason. A bewitching shade of pink that Mr. Kelsey 
says is almost identical with Mrs. Livingston Farrand. Flowers 
large, fragrant and holds colors well. Huge size. Good stiff 
stems, holding the flower perfectly erect. Mr. Kelsey named 
this variety in honor of his wife and if it were not a good 
peony it would not have received that honor. 
GRACE LOOMIS (9.2) Each $1.00 
A very handsome, large, late fragrant white with lemon tints 
reflected in the center. 
GRACE OTT (8.56) Each $1.00 
A compact dark crimson flower. 
GRANDIFLORA (Richardson, 1883) (8.8) Each $1.00 
One of the latest peonies to bloom in the garden, and for that 
reason very desirable to extend the season. A bright pink, 
double, flat bloom, that attains a very large size. The fragrance 
is very pronounced, but not particularly pleasing, according to 
our standard of smell. 
GRANDIFLORA NIVEA PLENA (Lemon, 1824) (8.1) 
Each $1.00 
Double type, very large and early. Guards large, faintly pink 
becoming white. Ball-like center of small pale yellow petals 
fading white. Prominent red markings. Sweetly fragrant. 
GROVER CLEVELAND (Terry) (8.2) | Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Dark crimson. Fine flower, upright stems, medium height. Ex- 
tra good for garden effects. Late. 
GUIDON (Nicholls, 1941) Each $5.00 
A lilac pink of good depth that Col. Nicholls selected from his 
many seedlings for introduction. Too new to have a rating, 
but it should have a good one. You will hear more of this in 
the future, and it should be shown at future peony shows more 
generously. A limited number to be offered this year. 
HANSINA BRAND (Brand, 1925) (9.04) Each $3.00 
A lovely, glistening flesh pink with a salmon reflex shading 
toward the base of petals. This variety has been a consistent 
winner at national and local peony exhibitions and is most de- 
pendable, giving a splendid performance every year. A late 
bloomer, and as the flowers fade they resemble a_ perfectly 
formed specimen of Solange; it never fails to produce fine flow- 
ers. A ‘must have” for any fine planting of peonies. 
HANS P. SASS (H. P. Sass, 1939) (9.19) Each $2.00 
Mr. Sass has brought out some outstanding peonies, and when 
he selected one to bear his name it is quite evident it must 
have been desirable in every way. A very large, late, rich satin 
blush white, suffused shell pink, illuminated with an inner glow 
that is indescribable with words. Must be seen to fully appre- 
ciate its beauty and refinement. A very consistent and free 
bloomer.
