Kelway’s Glorious (Kelway 1909) 9.56 This peony is aptly named, as it is a glorious 
creation and a most popular white. There is a creamy diffusion in the depth of 
the flower, and occasionally there will be a few crimson edges on center petals. 
Strong, roselike fragrance. Free flowering with strong stems. A peony that is 
much sought after and admired. $3.00 
La Lorraine (Lemoine 1901) 9.17 One of the finest whites we have for the show 
table or garden planting. Cream white when first opening, with a faint touch 
of salmon pink. A very fine flower of excellent form on strong stems. A very 
free bloomer and always ranks among the very best at our annual exhibitions. 
Clean stock must be secured for best results. $2.50 
Laura Dessert (Dessert 1913) 8.8 When first opening, this variety is pale pink in 
bud, opening cream or pale yellow, becoming white, This is not a full double 
but an anemone type that many people prefer. This variety could well be 
classed with the yellow group sometimes offered. While not yellow through- 
out, the large center of yellow carpels gives it that general appearance, Moderate- 
ly fragrant. $2.00 
Le Cygne (Lemoine 1907) 9.42 One of the highest rated whites, tinged ivory when 
opening. Full double, very early blooming variety. Moderately fragrant. Fo- 
liage large, dark green. For years this was the highest rated peony. Will be 
found in any large planting. $3.00 
Louis Barthelot (Doriat 1927) 8.70 This is a sulphur white variety that is not in general 
commerce. A more detailed description to follow as soon as we can check variety 
in the field. $3.00 
Lois Kelsey (Kelsey 1934) While this variety is listed as a double we would not 
class it as such. A midsezscn, flat flower, with long, narrow, deeply cut petals 
extending from the center like rays of the sun. Something out of the ordinary 
if you prefer odd peonies, as it is distinctly unusual. Has the appearance of a 
flower not fully transformed or constant, although it does come the same every 
year. Looks something like a cactus dahlia. Pure white in color: $2.50 
Marie Lemoine (Calot 1869) 8.5 A late, very large, double white, with shades of 
crimson on some of the edges of petals. The whole flower is strongly suffused 
with yellow from hidden staminodes. Very fragrant. Rather dwarf growing 
habit. Be sure to secure clean healthy roots for results, Considerable unhealthy 
stock of this variety has been disseminated. $1.00 
Marilla Beauty (Kelsey 1940) A new 
beauty not yet rated officially. A 
large blush-white double of be- 
witching loveliness. A late bloomer 
of rare charm. The blush coloring is 
more pronounced toward the center 
of bloom, radiating to a lighter shade. 
We saw the original plant of this 
variety and it was breath-taking. 
It’s iust one of those varieties you 
feel that you must have in the gar- 
den. A wonderful show bloom that 
will hold its own with the elite of the 
peony world. The large, broad 
petals have wonderful substance.
