Single Peonies 
ANGELUS (Auten, 1933) (9.17) Each $5.00 
Very large, soft, even light pink single on fine plant. Generally 
considered the best light pink single. Took ribbon as best pink 
single, 1941 National Peony Show. 
ARCTURUS (Auten, 1933) (9.30) Each $2.00 
Extremely rich, clear dark red single, color holds. Tall, stiff 
stems. One of the earliest. Took first at 1941 National Show 
over President Lincoln. Top notch in every way. 
BLACK HAWK (Auten, 1933) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Very dark red single; early. Foliage and stems dark red until 
near blooming time. Distinct tone. 
CORNIE MOORE (Kelsey, 1934) Each $5.00 
A deep, single red (garnet), with a glossy sheen. Flowers large 
and showy. Plant strong; a vigorous grower with red stems. 
Foliage dark green. Here is a fine, outstanding single that will 
be freely grown when better known. There is room for good 
singles and this is one of them. 
COUNTRY DANCE (Auten, 1931) Each $1.00 
Midseason. White. Single. 
DAINTY (Nicholls, 1941) Each $2.50 
Early single. Light silvery pink. Very large flower. Attractive 
and desirable. This is one of the new ones that we predict will 
go places when better known. 
EARLY MORN (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
Single, rose pink. Very early bloomer. A good pink that should 
be well received. 
FORTUNE TELLER (Auten, 1936) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Light red. Large bloom carried with distinction. For those who 
like the American Beauty shade, this is one of the best. 
GOPHER BEAUTY (Franklin, 1933) Each $2.50 
Single, early, very bright red. A very attractive color that is 
most pleasing. Mr. Franklin devoted most of his attention to 
doubles, but did bring out a few outstanding singles to his 
credit. This is one of them. 
HABANERA (Auten, 1930) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Light red, edges fade lighter. Very large bloom on large, tall 
plant; fine landscape effect; very early. Stems brilliant red 
before blooming. 
HELEN (Thurlow, 1922) (9.0) Each $1.00 
Single type, early. Double row of broad, round, shell-like pink 
petals with a mass of golden stamens in center. Foliage dark 
green. This is a very dainty variety, and is grand for landscape 
effect. Flowers also excellent for floral arrangements. 
IMPERIAL RED (Hans P. Sass, 1932) (9.5) Each $1.50 
A midseason variety first called Imperial Pink. The color is 
rosy red or very deep pink. Produces an immense flower borne 
on very heavy stems. A pale pink, semi-double, has been found 
masquerading under this name. 
INCA (Nicholls, 1941) Each $2.00 
Bright scarlet rose single. We have a good stock of this fine 
single peony and we feel it is a worth while addition to your 
planting of single peonies. Rarely seen in peony plantings or 
at peony shows due to the scarcity of stock. 
JOSETTE (Brethour, 1937) 
Late. Pale pink. Splendid form and color. 
KASKASKIA (Auten, 1931) (9.07) Each $1.00 
Dark red single, not as dark as Arcturus, but just as fine. Color 
holds. Early. One of the best. 
KEWANEE (Auten, 1930) (9.07) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Early medium dark red single, brilliant and unfading. Has 
proved itself in many places. Fine plant. 
KICKAPOO (Auten, 1931) (9.17) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50

fine as Arcturus, clear and unfading.

Late. Blush white with delightfully crinkled petals. The best 
late of its color. 
LA SALLE (Auten, 1931) (9.08) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Another Auten origination of merit. Color light red. A very fine 
landscape variety. Well worth a place in any garden. Stock 
rather limited. 
LE JOUR (Shaylor, 1915) (8.6) Each $1.50 
What a lovely white single this one is. Early, very large, with 
two rows of long, wide, overlapping petals. Center a broad ring 
of golden yellow stamens, a group of reddish carpels tipped 
darker and having a pink line at base. Tall, free bloomer. 
Stands erect with good foliage. 
LUCKY DAY (Auten, 1934) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Deep pink single, opening rather violaceous, but soon changing 
to a pleasing cast. Valuable for landscape because it lasts 
longer than most singles. 
MAN O’ WAR (Brand, 1936) (9.33) Each $2.50 
Single, early bloomer. Very large, bright red. Strong stems. 
Very showy. Makes a splendid showing in the garden planting.

Early medium dark red single in a different tone. Medium 
height, stiff stems. 
PINK BONNET (Kelsey, 1935) Each $3.50

varieties. Petals are mostly cupped and shaped like a tulip. 
PICO (Freeborn, 1934) Each $10.00
