WHITE PEONIES 
A. B. Franklin (Franklin 
1928) *-9.27 A very 
light blush when first 
opening, fading white. 
Very lovely flower of 
beautiful form that has 
a place with the finest 
peonies produced. A 
Gold Medal winner and 
very worthy of that 
distinction. We _ have 
watched this peony since 
its introduction in 1928 
and can find no fault 
with it in any way. 
Late bloomer. $5.00

A. B. C. Nicholls (Nicholls 1937) 9.45 Col. Nicholls considers this one of his very best 
introductions. It is a lovely, double, late white, with a hint of pink and a de- 
cided orange glow at the base of petals. Stock of this variety very scarce. This 
origination will be eagerly sought after when better known and more exten- 
sively planted. $4.75 
Alice Harding (Lemoine 1922) 9.36 Double type, large midseason white. Very im- 
posing appearance. Even rounded guard petals of delicate flesh-pink, flushed 
darker on the reverse, surrounding a cupped center of long, irregular petals of 
creamy white. Some stamens concealed in the center of flower. Very fragrant. 
Stems and foliage good. One of the finest French originations. $4.00 
Alsace Lorraine (Lemoine 1906) 8.8 Pure white, tinted with cream and buff. Double, 
large. Late midseason. Petals of a wavy texture, very symmetrically arranged 
in circular form. Very attractive, and makes a splendid landscape subject. 
Don’t pass this one up. $1.50 
Antoniette Heim (Kelsey 1939) Double white. Very similar to River Mist but colored 
a bit more. Good, strong grower. Late. $5.00 
Avalanche (Crousse 1886) 8.7 Double type, large, late, midseason variety. A blush- 
white of waxy texture with a faint pink center and very narrow crimson edges 
on a few of the center petals. A compact, generally incurved flower with the 
tops of the outer petals recurved from its ball-like center. Slight fragrance. 
This is a standard cut flower variety and extensively grown. $1.00 
Ball O’ Cotton (Franklin 1920) 8.8 As the name implies, this peony gives the im- 
pression of a large ball of cotton. Double type, large, late-midseason. Petals 
incurved, overlapping at first, forming a large, compact white ball. Later, the 
enormous outer petals unfold and the evenly graduated inner petals form a 
rose-like center of crisp texture. There is a faint lemon tint in the center when 
fully open. Fragrance mild and sweet. Strong stems, foliage good.’ Excellent 
habit for garden use. $3.00
