Each $1.50, 3 for $3.00 
One of the finest whites we have for the show table or garden 
planting. Cream white when first opening, with a faint touch

LAST ROSE (Sass, 1930) (8.93) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Late, deep pink, in fact it is one of the latest to bloom in the 
garden, carrying the blooming season several days beyond nor- 
mal. Fully double. 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert, 1913) (8.8) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
When first opening, this variety is pale pink in bud, opening 
cream or pale yellow, becoming white. This is not a full double 
but an anemone type that many people prefer. This variety 
could well be classed with the yellow group sometimes offered. 
While not yellow throughout, the large center of yellow carpels 
gives it that general appearance. Moderately fragrant. 
LAURA ELLEN (Kelsey, 1936) Each $6.00 
Light rose. Informal double. 8-inch blooms. Rather dwarf grow- 
er. Good stems. Early midseason. Much the color of Judge 
Berry but a shade darker. More dwarf growing and stronger. 
Very large flowers. 
LAURA KELSEY (Kelsey, 1941) Each $10.00 
Fully double, midseason, long pointed buds that open out large, 
fluffy, delicate light pink flowers fading lighter with ivory tints 
at base of petals, some tipped and other splashed with carmine. 
Blooms simply immense, 71% to 8 inches in diameter. A very 
charming flower with strong stems. A variety that should be 
added to every collection. Defies wind and driving rain due to 
stiff stems. 
LAURA TREMAN (Nicholls, 1943) Each $6.00 
Double midseason, large blush with fine form. Medium height. 
This is a new one, little known. 
LAURA VORIES (Vor) 
Flesh white, pink center. 
LE CYGNE (Lemoine, 1907) (9.42) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
One of the highest rated whites, tinged ivory when opening. 
Full double, very early blooming variety. Moderately fragrant. 
Foliage large, dark green. For years this was the highest rated 
peony. Will be found in any large planting. 
LIGHTS OUT (Kelsey, 1934) Each $2.50 
Large, rose pink, double. The very last to bloom in the garden. 
Due to its lateness the peony season is considerably lengthened. 
Its outstanding feature is its extreme lateness. 
LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm, 1921) (8.95) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Fully double. Large, midseason, fluffy flower of medium rose 
pink. Attains a large size. Outer petals are very large and ruf- 
fled, set edgewise to accommodate the great number of over- 
crowded center petals. Center petals arranged in whorls. Base 
of the petals show a chamois shade. Tall, vigorous grower with 
most pleasing fragrance. Stems strong and stiff. 
LILLIAN WILD Each $3.00, 3 for $7.00 
Very large; delicate flesh becoming pure white; compact rose 
type flowers; midseason; blooms freely. In common with other 
very large varieties, it takes three years for it to reach its max- 
imum size. One of our favorites. 
LITTLE BUFFALO (Kelsey, 1939) Each $2.50 
Miniature, semi-double. Pink. Very interesting due to its dwarf 
growing habits. Slender red stems. Early midseason bloomer. 
LOIS KELSEY (Kelsey, 1934) Each $1.50 
A midseason, flat flower with long, narrow, deeply cut petals 
extending from the center like rays of sun. Something out of 
the ordinary if you prefer odd peonies, as it is distinctly unusual. 
LONGFELLOW (Brand, 1907) (9.0) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Mr. Brand has brought out many fine reds, but none finer than 
Longfellow. A double, midseason, bright crimson, intensified by 
golden yellow stamens near center. Like many reds, it is lack- 
ing in fragrance. Does not fade and is most satisfactory for 
cutting as well as garden decoration. Medium height, good foli- 
age and a free bloomer. 
LORA DEXHEIMER (Brand, 1913) (8.4) Each $1.00 
Double type, large midseason variety. Bright crimson showing 
a light midrib on outer petals. Center incurved, concealing a 
few stamens, medium height, stiff stems, good foliage. This is 
another of the good reds Mr. Brand has originated. Very bright 
red of color. 
LOREN FRANKLIN (Franklin) (9.03) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
Very large, full rose type, dark pink with stiff stems and foliage 
to the ground. Very good, fragrant, late, 3 feet. First Class Cer- 
tificate, A. P. S., Chicago, 1933. 
LORNA DOONE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
NR. Double. Midseason. Medium pink. Rather loose built 
medium pink double. Flat flower. 
LOTTIE DAWSON REA (John L. Rea, 1939) Each $10.00 
Double, midseason. A very trim flower of light pink with ex- 
quisite tints. Received Honorable Mention Certificate of the 
A. P. S. Stock still very scarce and too new to be officially 
rated. We believe this one will make a real cut flower variety.
