JAPANESE PEONIES 
FUYAJO (9.2) Each $1.00

petals dark, rich mahogany red, center petaloids same color, 
tipped chamois. 
GLOWING EMBERS (Kelsey, 1936) Each $5.00 
Japanese type. Early midseason. Rose color guards, lighter on 
edges. Self staminodes with a tiny spark of white on the tips. 
All one color except the tips of white. Guards crimped and 
cupped. 
GOBLIN (Auten, 1931) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Bright red, center petaloids tipped and streaked lighter. Mid- 
season. A free bloomer; tall stiff stems. 
GOLD STAR (Kelsey, 1938) Each $5.00 
Midseason Japanese type. Pale pink guard petals with yellow 
staminodes. 
GOLDEN ARROW (Nicholls, 1941) Each $1.50 
Deep red. Staminodes red tipped with yellow arrowheads. 
GOLDFINCH (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
Japanese type. Pale pink guards with pale yellow center. One 
of the yellowest centers to be found in the garden. Feathers 
slightly. Flowers large. Shown on page 17, Bulletin No. 91, as a 
double, which is incorrect. 
HAKODATE (9.0) Each $3.00 
Cup-shaped petals of white with central cushion of yellow. Late. 
HARVEST MOON (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
A midseason Japanese variety that is somewhat similar to Shay- 
lor’s Sunburst. Cupped white guards and yellow staminodes. 
This is a very choice variety and blooms at the same time as 
Isani Gidui, which it closely resembles, with the exception that 
the cluster of staminodes of Harvest Moon are more compact. 
A great favorite, and rightly so. 
INSTITUTEUR DORIAT (Doriat, 1925) (8.85) Each $1.50 
We consider this one of the very good Japanese types of peo- 
nies. It is most interesting and worth while. Color a fine red, 
and each petal tip is tinted white, making a very novel effect 
as well as pleasing combination of color. 
ISANI-GIDUI (9.3) Each $2.00 
The most beautiful white Japanese peony. Very large. Two 
rows of petals of pure white with center of rich buff.

prices. 
KATE BARRY (Nicholls, 1938) Each $4.50 
A late midseason soft mauve pink of a most pleasing shade, 
with orange staminodes. Grows quite tall and the flowers are 
held erect on good stems. 
KAGAWA (Kelsey, 1935) Each $3.00 
Japanese type. Dark rose-pink. Guard petals pink, surrounding 
a ring of yellow staminodes, edged rose, which are also inter- 
mingled, and twisted with overlapping large petals of lighter 
pink. Early. Medium size. 
KATHALO (Kelsey, 1934) Each $2.00 
Not yet rated. The orchid of peonies. Japanese type. An exotic 
blending of shades of pink and yellow, rather difficult to ade- 
quately describe. A vigorous grower. Very tall. Stock still 
rather limited. One to put on your want list. 
KING OF ENGLAND (Kelway, 1902) (8.6) Each $1.50 
Japanese type, very large, early midseason variety. Guards sym- 
metrically cupped, of a dark red shade between crimson and 
maroon with a dull gloss; center of incurved buff staminodes 
streaked with dark rose-pink. There seems to be more than one 
variety sent out under this same name. 
KOBE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
Japanese type. Rose-pink guards. Straw or buff colored in- 
curved staminodes, backed with rose. Center ball shaped. Barly. 
Interestingly different. 

IWO (Nicholls, 1946) Each $3.00 
No. 145. Guards medium rose pink, staminodes yellow suffused 
with pink and carpels tipped white. A good Jap that is interest- 
ing and pleasing. 
KUKENI-JISHI (Origin unknown) (9.09) Each $2.00 
Japanese type, large, early midseason. The delicate flesh pink 
guard petals are large, smooth and evenly rounded; of unusual 
substance, possessing a satin sheen. Pale rose shading on out- 
side of petals. The center is a full tuft of yellow staminodes 
with narrow tips richly edged with deeper yellow. Very strong, 
tall grower. Foliage is heavily ruffled. 
KUROKI (Kelsey, 1935) Each $2.00 
NR. Japanese. Midseason. Medium pink. Fine rosy pink guards 
with narrow white staminodes suffused with pink and red car- 
pels tipped with coral pink. Dise pink. Very good stems. A 
good Jap. 
LA PINJA (Kelsey, 1939) Each $4.00 
Large pink Jap. Staminodes yellow tipped. Midseason. Inter- 
esting. 
LARGO (Vories, 1929) (8.98) Each $6.00 
A lovely, soft medium pink Japanese type with a center of 
prominent yellow staminodes. While introduced in 1929, it is 
not as well known as it should be for it is a splendid intro- 
duction worthy of a place in any fine planting of peonies. Has 
much class and the substance of the petals is exceptionally firm. 
LETO (Neeley, 1930) (8.84) Each $3.00 
Japanese. Midseason. White. Large flowers with white guards, 
rather broad staminodes yellow fading white deeply notched and 
fringed. Carpels tipped white. Tall and upstanding. Excellent 
for the garden. 
MARY MOY (Roberts, 1930) Each $7.50 
NR. Japanese. Midseason. Medium pink. Medium sized rose 
pink guards with long, narrow staminodes, yellow suffused with 
pink. Carpels tipped light pink and dise pink. Quite an un- 
usual flower and a very attractive one. A fine subject for the 
garden. Very scarce. We surely like this one. 
MARGARET ATWOOD (8.7) Each $1.50 
Broad petals of pure white are cupped around a mass of golden 
yellow stamens, giving a charming effect.
