Peonies 

SNOW BALL (Franklin, 1935) (8.95) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
Double, late midseason variety. A perfect ball of white. Very 
dependable and desirable. You will like this one. 
SNOW BROOK (Kelsey, 1936) ‘Each $5.00 
Double, flesh white. A symmetrical dome of clean, neatly ar- 
ranged petals. Slightly fragrant. It is big if you measure it in 
any way, particularly in height. Makes a spot in the garden 
that you will return to time and again. 
SNOW WHITE (Little, 1938) Each $6.00 
A very tall, midseason medium sized bloom of pure white. 
Awarded American Home Achievement Medal for outstanding 
merit. Stock extremely scarce. 
SOLANGE (Lemoine, 1907) (9.7) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Here is a beauty that takes a long time to make its appearance 
from the opening bud. The petals are so densely packed, they 
produce the effect of two or three flowers trying to develop 
from one bloom. Color creamy white with a suffusion of buff 
and pale salmon pink. It takes so long to open that unfavorable 
weather often spots the bloom. It is so beautiful that additional 
precautions would pay big dividends in charm and beauty of the 
finished bloom. Listed with the very finest peonies grown due 
to its distinct coloring. 
SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert, 1913) (9.1) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Dark rose pink, rather opaque in texture. Fragrant. Strong 
stems. Effective in the garden and an exhibition bloom. Very 
large and double. Midseason. 
SPRING BEAUTY (Nicholls, 1933) (8.43) 
Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
A very early, huge rose pink bloom that has much appeal as it 
opens the season in the large double varieties. We like this 
one very well and think you will. Much admired by visitors in 
our garden. 
STARBRIGHT (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
Double white. Flowers not large but charming. A very worth 
while variety. 
STILLMAN (Kelsey, 1937) Each $3.00 
Cupped shape white with white guards. Very neat yellow center 
of narrow petals. 
SUMMER GLORY (Franklin) Each $3.00 
A large medium pink which silvers into a very attractive and 
showy flower. Strong stems, medium height; a superb garden 
and landscape variety. 
SUSAN B. WHITE (Brand, 1933) (9.05) Each $2.00 
Midseason. Dome shaped, pure white; creamy tones and green 
tints at the base of the petals. Stamens light up the flower. 
TAR BABY (Auten, 1931) Each $1.00 
Very dark red, semi-double; so dark the purple in it shows. 
Good height, medium size. 
T. E. CARPENTER (Brand, 1942) Each $8.00 
Double, late, pure ivory, heavily shaded yellow with sometimes 
a hint of blush. Rounded petals arranged in perfect circles. 
Color very similar to that of Solange. Looks like a real find. 
Stock extremely limited. 
TEMPEST (Auten, 1931) Each $2.50 
Probably the best red and semi-double in commerce today. Only 
a few stamens, and they well hidden. Brilliant clear dark red: 
the color holds. On tall stiff stems. Won first at 1941 National 
show over Longfellow, being much finer in color. 
THE DISC (Sass) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Late rose red on tall sturdy stems, having perfectly round disc- 
shaped flowers. 
THE FLEECE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $4.00, 3 for $10.00 
A big, full petaled, fleecy double white green gold at base of 
petals. Flowers are very large and fragrant. Stems strong with 
light green foliage. Medium height. A strong contender for 
first honors among the whites. Received Honorable Mention at 
A. P. S., Syracuse show. 

THE MIGHTY MoO. (Wild, 1950) Each $2.50 
This is another seedling of ours that could have been named 
SHOW OFF as that is what it does. It certainly makes a show 
of red. Fully double with a rich, lively, velvety red color. The 
flower grows on long stems and is a wonderful keeper. In our 
displays here it has held up better than any other variety. It is 
full of yellow stamens which to many people adds to its beauty. 
However, if you do not like yellow stamens in a flower, do not 
order this variety as it has a large amount of them. We think 
it is well worth the price asked. 
THE NATHANS (Kelsey, 1937) Each $2.50 
Large, rose pink, double. Semi-dwarf. Pleasing fragrance. 
Broad outer petals. Center closely twisted and overlappin 
THERESE (Dessert, 1904) (9.8) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Satiny pink, changing to lilac-white in the center; glossy reflex. 
Enormous, compact, rose type, later developing a high crown. 
Erect, strong grower.
