yellow with paler filaments. A very lovely flower that is simply stunning in the 
garden and landscape. $2.00

type. Color, a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut flower, as it has

impression on peony lovers. A midseason double, perfectly formed blush pink

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 9.4 The rating on this peony has gradual- 
ly climbed, attesting to the worthiness of this beautiful creation. We believe 
this to be one of Mr. Franklin’s most outstanding contributions to the peony 
world. The flower is artistically formed, with extremely long, loose petals ox 
soft pink. A splendid grower with excellent blooming habit. Its huge size, 
form and color combine to make it most attractive and it will grow in popularity 
when better known. A grand exhibition bloom. Awarded gold medal 1948 $5.00

lighter to center. Late. Tall and fragrant. $3.00 
Mrs. Harry F. Little (Little 1936) 9.27 A late, flesh-pink that is very enticing and 
most desirable for any good planting of peonies. Stock very scarce at present 
and we only have a limited amount to offer. A more complete description of 
this variety will be compiled after this blooming season. $12.50 
Mrs. Livingston Farrand (Nicholls 1935) 9.36 We consider this one of the most out- 
standing originations, as far as color is concerned, that has been introduced 
in many years. A double, late-midseason variety. Large, well formed flowers 
of the purest pink yet seen in Chinensis peonies. A really sensational flower 
that is outstanding in the showroom or home garden. If Col. Nicholls had only 
originated this one variety, he would have left to posterity a living monument 
to his genius. Very fortunately, he has brought out several equally outstanding 
creations, some of which we are offering you in our list, and others will appear 
when available in some quantity. $10.00
