George W. Peyton (Nicholls 1938) 9.43 A late, flesh colored peony of outstanding 
merit. We have grown this fine peony for the past few years and have been 
much impressed with it. Mr. Peyton is an acknowledged authority on peonies. 
We think you will like it sufficiently well to add it to your collection. There is 
a pinkish-blush tone in the flower that adds to its beauty. Fully double, good 
stems, medium height. $5.00 
Gov. Fuller (Thurlow 1930) 8.66 Large, shell pink. Deeper in center. Very attrac- 
tive. Strong stems. $2.00 
Grace Batson (Sass 1927) 8.88 A midseason, medium pink variety that has met with 
most favorable acclaim by peony fanciers, Full double, good strong stems that 
hold flowers erect. Mr. Sass has originated some fine peonies in the past and 
considers this one of his good originations. $1.50 
Grace Kelsey (Kelsey 1935) Double, midseason, a bewitching shade of pink that 
Mr. Kelsey says is almost identical with Mrs. Livingstyun Farrand. Flowers large, 
fragrant and holds color well. Huge sive. Good stiff stems, holding the flower 
perfectly erect. Mr. Kelsey named this variety in honor of his wife and if it 
were not a good peony it would not have 1eceived that honor. $10.00 
Grandiflora (Richardson 1883) 8.8 One of the latest pecnies to bloom in the garden and 
for that reason very desirable to extend the season. A bright pink, double, flat 
bloom, that attains a very large size. The fragrance is very pronounced, but 
not particularly pleasing, according to our standard of smell. 
$1.00 
Guidon (Nicholls 1941) A lilac pink of good depth that Col. Nicholls selected from 
his many seedlings for introduction. Too new to have a rating but it should 
have a good one. You will hear more of this in the future and it should be 
shown at future peony shows more generously. Only a limited number to be 
offered this year, $5.00
