PRINCE OF PAULDING (Burke No. 10) Each $3.00 
Japanese. Dark pink with red tipped carpels and good yellow 
center of narrow staminodes. Good upright grower and makes 
a fine garden plant. A really fine dark pink Jap. Many think 
it as good as any. 
RED EMPEROR (Auten, 1931) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Very large bright red Jap. like Mikado, but with fuller center. 
Fades at last, but is much admired. A mature plant making 
fine effect. 
RED STAR 
RED STAR (Nicholls, 1941) Each $1.50, 3 for $3.00 
Japanese. Petals and staminodes are deep, brilliant, carrying 
vermillion, the staminodes tipped with gold. Carpels, deep ver- 
milion. Overlapping petals. Tall, strong and a free bloomer. 
ROBERTA (Auten, 1936) Each $2.00 
Late. Very tall, pure white, yellow staminodes. 
RUBIE BATTEY (Auten, 1933) Each $1.00 
A very distinctive dark red Jap. with an exceptionally clear pur- 
plish cast. Has exceptional substance and lasting qualities. Late. 
Fine plant. Very worth while. 
SALUTE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.50 
Japanese type. Very large, pink guard petals with light yellow 
staminodes to a deeper yellow at base. Midseason bloomer. 
SAN DIEGO (Auten, 1931) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
A striking light red and yellow Jap.; very distinct; a mixture 
of colors. 
SENTINEL (Auten, 1931) Each $1.25 
All red in American Beauty shade, with small yellow dots on 
the narrow red central petaloids. Tall, and a strong grower. 
SHAYLOR’S SUNBURST (Shaylor, 1931) (9.1) 
Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
Midseason. Color white with a blush cast at first. Yellow stami- 
nodes and yellow tipped carpels. Most artistic and delightfully 
interesting and fascinating. One of the best. 
SILVER PLUME (Andrews, 1932) (8.78) Each $4.00 
Early. Very light silvery pink guards with yellow staminodes and 
often pink feather in center. It makes a distinct flower and is 
one of the best light pink Japs. 
PERG tas 
SUNMIST (Nicholls, 1942) Each $3.00 
Color of the Isani-Gidui, white petals with gold staminodes. 
The petals overlap and the bloom keeps its shape better than 
its parent. It is larger, has stronger stems and better substance 
than Isani-Gidui. 
SWORD DANCE (Auten, 1933) (9.10) Each $2.00 
Red Jap., medium dark red, very brilliant and showy. Completely 
outclasses the old Some Ganoko. Fine plant; late. 
TAMATE-BOKU (Origin unknown) (9.4) Each $6.00 
The finest and highest rated of the Japanese type. A glorious 
bright carmine-pink, exquisitely fragrant, very large, with a yel- 
low center, tipped pink, irregularly crinkled and margined gold. 
No description can do it justice. 
TATSUGASHIRA (Dragon's Head) Each $1.25 
Origin unknown. A very dark pink, with a bright golden center. 
This is described as red in the peony manual, and like L’Etin- 
celante in the singles, might be classed in the light reds. 
THE BARON (Auten, 1934) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Odd shade of red, some yellow in center; bold and striking. 
Medium height. 
TOKIO (Japanese origin) (8.9) Each $1.50 
Large midseason. The waving guard petals are cupped and of a 
dull, rose-pink color. Center composed of large, loose staminodes, 
narrow at the base, with wide tips tinted pale yellow and stained 
pink on the upper half, with buff edges. Carpels are green, 
white at the base, with pale pink tips. A very good, strong 
grower and closely resembles Tamate-Boku in color, but a much 
faster grower than that variety. 
TORPILLEUR (Dessert, 1913) (8.0) Each $1.00 
Deep rose red or purplish carmine describes the color of this 
Japanese type flower. Center of golden tipped staminodes, 
flecked white. Makes a most delightful bouquet when used alone 
or placed with white Japanese or single peonies. 
VISTA (Kelsey, 1940) Each $3.50 
Midseason, Japanese type. Pink guards and fine yellow stami- 
node center. Very large bloom. Rather dwarf grower. 
WESTERNER (Bigger, 1942) Each $5.00 
Midseason. The guard petals are very large of a beautiful shade 
of light pink. The center is filled with yellow staminodes that 
are extremely firm and erect. The combination of yellow and 
pink is most pleasing. The real charm of this variety lies in the 
cup-shaped form of the flower and the sturdy recurved petals 
so graciously poised and held so rigidly erect. A constant prize 
winner. 
YELLOW KING (Origin unknown) (9.06) 
Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
Early, large pale pink guards, vivid yellow staminodes. This is 
a very beautiful flower that came from Mrs. Harding’s garden 
but is not her origination and she does not know its origin. A 
very good Jap. variety. We surely like it. 
YESO (Origin unknown) (7.7) Each $1.00 
A very interesting and attractive white with tints of yellow in 
its makeup. Strong, upright grower that adds greatly in pro- 
ducing a charming landscape effect.
