Peanies 
HENRY SASS (Inter-State, 1948) Each $5.00 
A new Hans Sass peony that we have been growing for three 
years. Without question it is one of the finest white peonies 
we have ever seen. It is a large pure white, high built, perfect 
form; truly magnificent. Tall, strong stems, healthy grower, and 
a free dependable bloomer every year. A sensation here at 
Sarcoxie and we predict it will win blue ribbons at the shows. 
HARGROVE HUDSON—See page 11 for color illustration, descrip- 
tion and price. 
HARRY L. BURDEN (Neeley, 1930) (8.93) Each $2.00 
A double, midseason, light rose pink that is much admired in 
our planting. Very good form with good strong stems, with 
the added inherent quality of being a free bloomer. This at- 
tribute makes it well worth while. 
HARRY L. RICHARDSON (8.69) Each $1.00 
A good fragrant bright crimson. 
HARRY F. LITTLE (Nicholls, 1933) (9.42) Each $4.50 
Very large white with a faint blush of pink in the inner petals. 
When at its best a faultless flower. Awarded the Gold Medal 
of the American Peony Society for excellence. This variety not 
as well known as it should be, as the stock has been difficult 
to obtain. We are co-purchasers of the originator’s entire stock. 
HAZEL KINNEY (A. M. Brand) (9.0) Each $1.00 
I can still remember this beautiful flower as it appeared on the 
plant the first time. The form was so superb and the color so 
pure; it impressed us at once as a flower of great promise 
which it since has proved. A great show flower when displayed 
alongside the very best. True rose type. Color a delicate clear 
Hydrangea pink. Medium height plant; clean, light green foli- 
age; late midseason; a prolific bloomer. (Originator’s descrip- 
tion.) 
HENRY AVERY (Brand, 1907) (8.8) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
This variety has always been interesting to us. A double type, 
large, late. Guards and well defined crown a bright, light pink 
with a collar of creamy petals tinted yellow at base. Mild, 
pleasing fragrance. Good stems and foliage. A very attractive 
and lovely creation. 
HENRY WEBSTER (Franklin) (9.13) Each $2.00 
Large, full rose type. A pleasing shade of red. Strong grower 
and good bloomer, holds flowers high, very strong rose fra- 
grance. One of the sweetest we know. Late midseason; 36 
inches. 
HERMIONE (8.8) Each $1.00 
Large clear pink blooms on tall stems. Very good. 
HESPANOLA Each $1.00 
Deep cerise pink, fragrant, late, good plant. 
HIAWATHA (Franklin) (8.85) Each $3.00 
Very large, not quite full double rose type, dark red, good stems, 
clean foliage, vigorous, late, 36 inches. Very attractive form; 
none like it. 
HUMEI CARNEA Each 50c, 3 for $1.25 
Rose type, early midseason. Very large bloom, clear flesh tinged 
rose. In color this is quite distinct and immediately attracts 
attention.

Seedling 156. Midseason, very dark red. Fully double. Petal 
arrangement like Philippe Rivoire. Rose formation. Pleasant 
odor. Shows some purple in the red. Holds color well. Strong 
stems. 
IDEAL (Franklin) (8.90) Each $3.00 
Very large, full rose type, dark pink. Stiff stems with good foli- 
age, grand; late, 34 inches. A real acquisition to the dark pinks. 
INSPECTOR LAVERGNE (Doriat, 1924) (8.67) Each $1.00 
Here is a flower with much appeal. A double type early and 
globular crimson flower with frilled petals in the center. Stems 
are long and straight. A very pleasing addition to our list of 
reds. Makes a fine show flower. 
IRVING FLINT (Kelsey, 1935) Each $10.00 
Late midseason, double pink. Richly fragrant and lovely. Re- 
sembles Le Cynge in form. Medium sized bloom. Light green 
foliage. Holds form and color remarkably well. Rich both in 
color and odor. 
ISOLENE (Lemoine, 1916) (8.3) Each $1.00 
Anemone type. Large, midseason. Guards cup-like, fading light- 
er. Has center tuft of canary yellow, fading to almost white, 
marked with prominent crimson spots. 
IVORY BROOCH (Kelsey, 1943) Each $4.00 
Double, ivory white. Outer petals tightly incurved over a closely 
packed center. As the flower matures these outer petals still 
retain their slightly crimped and incurved formation. The total 
effect is a medallion-like bloom, resembling a curved brooch of 
ivory. Formation very uncommon. The bloom always has a 
bud-like appearance. 
JAMES KELWAY (8.7) Each 75c 
Immense flowers of dainty flesh pink, changing to flesh white, 
with a golden reflection from the almost hidden stamens that 
is most effective. Early midseason.

pink, slightly tinged purple and shaded salmon at the base of 
petals; changes to silvery white. A variety of exquisite and 
delicate coloring.

toward tips of petals. Early bloomer. Tall, strong stems. 
JOHN M. GOOD (Welsh, 1921) (9.3) Each $1.50 
A large midseason double. Outer petals very large, graduating 
smaller and smaller toward a flat open center which does not 
show stamens or carpels. Outer petal very pale pink at first, 
shading to ivory white or pure white in the center illuminated 
by a yellowish tint in the depths of the flower. Richly fragrant, 
tall, vigorous, stiff stems. Light green foliage. Requires some 
time to get fully established to have it at its best.

White with yellow tones at base of petals. Medium height. Pos- 
sesses great charm. Late midseason. 
JUBILEE (Pleas, 1908) (8.9) Each 75c

row, and loosely arranged, giving a feathery effect. Stems long 
but weak. Midseason. 
JUDGE BERRY (Brand, 1907) (8.6) Each $1.00 
Delicate flesh pink, much like Eugene Verdier. Very large flat 
blooms. Strong grower and free bloomer. Beautiful. Very early. 
JUDGE SNOOK (Good & Reese, 1930) (9.23) Each $5.00 
A late midseason variety that is one of the worthwhile origina- 
tions 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. 
JUDY BECKER (Sass, 1941) Each $5.00 
Late. Full rose rich dark red, rather dwarfy. Those who grow 
this states it is one of the finest of all reds.

Very late. Pure white with faint blush tint. Tall. Fragrant. 
JUNE BRILLIANT (Auten) Each $2.50 
Late, full double red. Very brilliant, held aloft on slender wiry 
stems. Bloom trim and a bit flat, not fragrant. Lasts a long 
time when cut. Side by side it sells as well as Philippe Rivoire 
to vistors to our fields, even at a higher price.
