Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
This peony is well known and extensively grown for the com- 
mercial market. Has proved a most satisfactory introduction 
and for nearly 60 years has been a source of real satisfaction 
to peony growers throughout the land. To the novice amateur 
or professional alike, it always delights and behaves most exem- 
plary. Full double type, very large and very early. Light rose

quisite refinement. 
MOTHER’S DAY (Kelsey, 1936) Each $10.00 
Double, midseason, very tall, clear white. This is an excep- 
tionally 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 comparison 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-purchasers of the entire origina- 
tor’s stock.

bust, vigorous grower and abundant bloomer. The largest red 
peony. This variety is comparatively scarce and is offered by 
few growers.

Shell pink and white. 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) Each $1.50

The flower resembles Phyllis Kelway and is one of the finest 
of all peonies for use in decorative work in making up large 
baskets or vases of flowers. A distinctive band of golden sta- 
mens light up the entire flower and these stamens enclose a 
rosebud, cup-shaped center of large incurving petals. Magnifi-

stems holding the flowers erect. This variety possesses charm 
of high order. 
MRS. FRANK BEACH (A. M. Brand) (9.0) Each $1.00 
A deep ivory white coming into bloom late in the season. The 
flower is large, flat, perfect rose type with long narrow, laci- 
niated petals of the same lacy effect as in Jubilee. Mrs. Frank 
Beach is a glorified Jubilee but is not handicapped by a weak 
stem. This variety develops a flower true to type on a yearling 
plant. The blooms are profuse and sweetly fragrant. One of the 
best of all white peonies. 
MRS. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (Franklin) (9.38) 
Each $4.00

form and color combining to make it most attractive. A good

still stand. Large double type. Late blooming variety. Dark, 
deep bright pink with long, narrow petals of good substance.

tion. We have only a limited amount of stock to offer this year.

scription of this variety will be compiled after this blooming 
season. 
MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A. M. Brand) (9.0) Each $1.00 
A tall, very late deep pink with exceedingly strong heavy 
stems and large green foliage. The petals are long, broad, point- 
ed, and of great substance. A fragrant flower of true rose type. 
When you think the peony season is over, Mrs. John M. Kleitsch 
comes along to top off the season. Too late to appear in many 
shows, but won first prize as the best flower in the entire show 
At oteebaulein 1928. 
MBS. J. V. EDLUND (J. V. Edlund) (9.5) Each $3.00

ing off the tie with Hansina Brand at the Toronto National 
Show, this flower was awarded best flower in the show. It is 
a late large pure white that is in bloom with Blanche King, 
Genevieve, Mrs. A. M. Brand, and Mrs. Frank Beach. It is one 
of the very finest of all peonies.
