“Blowers from the Wilds of Missouri” 
PEONIES 
FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse, 1881) (8.4) 
Each 75c 3 for $2.00 
A dependable, attractive red that has given satisfaction for many 
years. A variety that will stand the test of time for as many 
years as Felix Crousse has, surely must be good. A great com- 
mercial variety, and holds in storage with the best of them. 
Color is brilliant crimson, of even tone and silky luster. Late 
midseason bloomer and for that reason it has added value. Foli- 
age good, but the stems are not as strong as we would like. 

FESTIVA MAXIMA (Miellez, 1851) (9.3) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
The old reliable white. A massive, early double white with crim- 
son markings. One of the most generally planted peonies in 
cultivation. This variety was originated years ago, but its 
sterling qualities in habit of growth and blooming make it most 
desirable. 
FIREPLACE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.50 
Double, very dark red. Medium sized blooms. Slightly lighter 
at tips of petals. Flat formation. Very unusual. (Originator’s 
description.) 
FLORENCE NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1938) Each $5.00 
Late midseason variety. A lovely white with a pinkish center, 
general effect blush. Stock is still exceedingly scarce. Not yet 
rated but we predict that it will be up in the 90’s unless we are 
greatly mistaken. 
FLORENCE MACBETH (Sass) (9.2) Each $1.00 
An immense rose type flower of a soft LaFrance pink. The 
petals are broad, of much substance, and have a crinkled effect 
that is very distinct and beautiful. The plant is a strong, vigor- 
ous grower with strong stems. A very fine pink. 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (Brand, 1907) (8.1) 
Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Pure white, with delicately arranged petals. Very late. 
FONTENELLE (Rosenfield) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
A good cut-flower; red; midseason. 
FOOTLIGHTS (Kelsey, 1938) Each $4.00 
A large, double Mons. Jules Elie type. Broad, pure white, outer 
petals surrounding a closely packed ball of narrow overlapping 
and entwined petals, enlivened by a golden glow that shines 
through from the depths. Total effect, a soft golden glow. 
FRANCES HERNDON (Pfeiffer, 1932) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Deep rose; fragrant; yellow stamens showing through the pet- 
als. Medium tall; free bloomer; midseason. 
FRANCES SHAYLOR (Shaylor, 1915) (8.6) 
Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Glistening white with short yellow petals scattered through the 
wider white ones. Very large globular flowers, similar in form 
to Baroness Schroeder. 
FRANCES WILLARD (Brand, 1907) (9.1) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Opens blush white, changing to pure white. Has occasional car- 
mine touch. Large, perfectly formed flower. Semi-rose type. 
Strong grower and free bloomer. One of the best of the Brand 
seedlings. Late midseason. 
FRANCOIS ORTEGAT (6.7) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Deep crimson. Almost as full as Felix Crousse. Good bloomer 
for red. Midseason to late. 
FRANK E. GOOD (Good and Reese) Each $1.00 
Solange color. 
FRANKIE CURTIS (Vor) (8.94) Each $1.00 
A large delicate white. Very free flowering. Stiff stems and 
known as the “White Mons. Jules Elie.” 
FRANKLIN'S PRIDE (Franklin) (9.45) Each $2.50 
Very large full rose type, even pink, stiff stems, vigorous with 
leathery foliage, good bloomer, fragrant, late, 38 inches. Re- 
ceived Blue Ribbon at N. W. Show, Minneapolis, 1931. Much 
admired. An improved Walter Faxon. 
FRED W. PRATT (Kelsey, 1935) Each $3.00 
Double. Pure white outer petals, inner petals yellow, overcast 
with pure white. Earlier than Primevere, which it resembles. 
Deeper shade of yellow at base of petals. Anemone center. 
FRONTIER (Kelsey, 1941) Each $8.00 
Large light pink, double. Very late. Very full petaled massive 
bloom and pink in color. This is a variety of considerable 
merit. Particularly valuable on account of the lateness of the 
variety which considerably extends the blooming season. A 
“honey,” and you will want to add it to your collection. 
GALENA (Auten No. 2491) Each $1.00 
An entirely new shade, mulberry, or maybe very deep rose. 
Bomb type, late, on tall stiff stems, with low foliage; a perfect 
plant for commercial cut-flowers, much admired by many peo- 
ple. It is not fragrant, but has exceptional substance. Recom- 
mended for the northern half of the peony belt only. 
GARDEN PRINCESS (Neeley) (9.1) Each $1.00 
A rich silvery soft light pink fading to white. Outer petals 
large and uniformly rounded, making a flower of pleasing form. 
Golden stamens intermingled with center petals add charm to 
the flower. Vigorous, tall growing, midseason. 
GEORGE W. PEYTON (Nicholls, 1938) (9.43) Each $4.00 
A late flesh colored peony of outstanding merit. We have grown 
this fine peony for the past few years and have been much im- 
pressed with it. Mr. Peyton is an acknowledged authority on 
peonies. We think you will like it sufficiently well to add it to 
your collection. There is a pinkish blush tone in the flower that 
adds to its beauty. Fully double, good stems, medium height. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor, 1908) (8.9) Each $1.00 
Pale rose pink, with a few flecks of crimson. Very large, flat 
flower. Strong grower. One of the finest. Late midseason. 
GLEAM OF GOLD (Sass) Each $1.00 
White with a broad yellow collar, creating an exquisite combi- 
nation of gold and white. 
GLORIANA (9.06) 
A large and distinct rose pink. 
Each $1.00
