Probably the best red and semi-double in commerce today. Only 
a few stamens, and they well hidden. Brilliant clear dark red; 
the color holds. On tall stiff stems. Won first at 1941 National

color and when better known will be more generally grown. 
Stock limited. 
THURA HIRES (Nicholls, 1938) Each $5.00 
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 va- 
riety to offer, direct from the originator’s garden. A very lovely 
creation that you will want to add to your collection. 
TINY TIM (Kelsey, 1941) Each $2.50 
Miniature, semi-double, light pink. Very interesting. The flower 
is formed like the old familiar variety Marie Jacquin. Early 
midseason. Bloom ranges in size from 1% to 3 inches. Fine for 
arrangements. 
TITANIA (Kelsey, 1936) Each $5.00 
Very large glistening white with yellow stamens. Semi-double. 
Some full double. 
TO KALON (Kelsey, 1936) Each $10.00 
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-dwartf, good strong stems with dense foliage to the ground.” 
Mr. Kelsey chose the Greek name To Kalon, meaning “The 
Beautiful.” 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert, 1910) (9.4) Each 75c 
Flesh pink tinged with salmon; exquisitely delicate in shading. 
Large flat flower of rose type. One of the finest and most de- 
sirable peonies. In same class with Kelway’s Glorious and Mme. 
Jules Dessert. Strong grower and free bloomer. Very fragrant. 
Midseason. 
TRINKET (Nicholls, 1941) Each $3.00 
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. 
TRIUMPHE DE EXPOSITION DE LILLE (Calot) 
Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Shell pink, minutely splashed with violet-rose; guard petals fade 
almost white. Large, compact flower of rose type. Strong grow- 
er, very free bloomer. Not a new one, but very desirable, and 
should rate higher. Midseason. 
UMBELLETTA ROSEA (Des.) Each 50c 
Pink; early. 
UNCLE REMUS (Auten, 1931) Each $1.00 
Very dark, large, loose, semi-double red. Very tall plant. 
VENUS (Kelway, 1888) (8.3) Eachavoc 
Pale hydrangea pink. One of the very best. 
VICTORY (Thompson, 1945) Each $20.00 
Too new for official rating, but we predict it will be among the 
highest rated peonies we have. We are not alone in this opin- 
ion. First introduced and sold in 1945. This peony is now plant- 
ed in many sections of the country and we expect to get most 
satisfactory reports on its performance. A full double, exqui- 
sitely formed flower of pure white with no markings. Opens 
a deep ivory, deepening to pink tones toward the center of the 
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 outstanding crea- 
tions in recent years. Due to the extreme excellence of this va- 
riety and scarcity of stock, the price will remain high for a 
number of years. 
VINA MAE (Kelsey, 1934) Each $2.00 
This is a lovely creation of a light shell pink with lavender cast, 
fading to almost white. Flat flowers, semi-double, rose pink. 
Very decorative. Color holds well. Petals cupped. It has always 
been admired in our garden. Foliage is very robust and flowers 
are produced in profusion. Our stock direct from the origina- 
tor’s garden. 
VIRGINIA PFEIFFER (Pfeiffer, 1932) 
Deep pink. Early. 
VESPER (Kelsey, 1935) Each $5.00 
Anemone type. Pink guards. Ivory staminodes, tinted pink. 
A striking color combination. Large and showy. Very attractive 
in the garden. 
VICTORY CHAUTEAU THIERRY (Brand, 1925) (9.24) 
Each $4.00 
A very lovely double, large, midseason, bright, clear pink that is 
pleasingly fragrant. Strong, erect stems, rather dwarf. The 
blooms are exceptionally large under ordinary cultivation and 
make an outstanding display in the show room. The petals are 
rather loosely formed so that it always opens freely. 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
WALTER FAXON—See page 17 for full color illustration, descrip- 
tion and prices. 
WARD WELSH (Neeley, 1929) (8.78) Each $3.00 
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. 
W. E. BLANCHETTE (Bra.) Each $6.00 
Very large red. 
WESTHILL (Little, 1938) (9.15) Each $6.00 
Double, early, very large, full light pink. Mr. Little has intro- 
duced but few peonies but they are all good ones as he was 
one of our most outstanding judges of the peony. 
W. F. CHRISTMAN (Franklin, 1921) (8.8) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
True rose type of delicate shell pink; rose fragrance; mid- 
season.
