Frances Willard (Brand 1907) 9.1 Double, large, midseason. Opens a very pale 
pink, changing to white, with a yellow suffusion in collar. Shows faint red 
lines on edge of some center petals. Mildly fragrant. A variety that will give 
satisfaction each year. Heavy dark foliage. $1.50 
Frankie Curtis (Vories 1924) 9.3 This variety gives the impression of a. white 
= Standard Bearer as it is of rather dwarf habit. Flowers full double, opening a 
faint pink fading to white. Guards broad and evenly rounded, surrounding a 
high, globular, chrysanthemum-like center of incurved petals. Free flowering. 
Heavy dark green foliage. $2.50 
Fred W. Pratt (Kelsey 1935) Double. Pure white outer petals, inner petals yellow, 
overcast with pure white. Earlier than Primevere, which it resembles. Deeper 
shade of yellow at base ot petals. Anemone center. $3.00 
Galathee (Lemoine 1900) 8.1 Double white. Large and very late. Flesh white with 
pink center. Very fragrant. $1.50 
Gleam of Gold (Sass 1937) A double, midseason variety. White guard petals with 
yellow petals intermingled in the collar. Good, strong stems. The narrow petals 
in the center are very brilliant deep-yellow, lighting up the flower and giving 
the bloom a very attractive appearance. The flowers are very large, Its name is 
adequately descriptive of its general color appearance. A lovely and most de- 
sirable origination. $4.00 
Golden Dawn (Gumm 1923) 8.58 <A late, midseason double. White guards and 
bright yellow center. Stems excellent. One of the best ‘near yellows.” We 
most emphatically disagree with the statement in the Peony Manual that it is 
impossible to distinguish this variety from Primevere or Laura Dessert. We 
have a grave suspicion the party writing up the description of Golden Dawn 
in the manual did not have the true variety before him. A novice could dis- 
tinguish the identity between Golden Dawn and Laura Dessert. The former 
variety has longer central petals and is fully double, while Laura Dessert and 
Primevere are both anemone type. Laura Dessert has a brighter, more pro- 
nounced yellow center and does not fade as quickly. The same is true ot 
Primevere. $2.00 
Harry F. Little (Nicholls 1933) 9.42 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. $4.50 
Ivory Brooch (Kelsey 1943) 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 carved brooch of ivory. Formation very uncommon. 
The bloom always has a bud-like appearance. $4.00 
James Kelway (Kelway 1900) 8.7 Double, very large. Opens a very faint pink fad- 
ing to almost white with age, but still retaining a slight flush on outer petals. 
Foliage good. Stems tail. $1.00 
John M. Good (Welsh 1921) 9.3 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 petals very pale pink at first, shading to ivory white 
or pure white in the center, illumined 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. $1.75
