JAPANESE PEONIES 
HARVEST MOON (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.50 
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 campact. 
A great favorite and rightly so. 
INSTITUTEUR DORIAT (Doriat, 1925) (8.85) Each $1.50 
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 (Origin unknown) (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. 
Iwo 
IWO (Nicholls, 1946) Each $3.00 
Guards medium rose pink, staminodes yellow suffused with pink 
and carpels tipped white. A good Jap. that is interesting and 
pleasing. Admired by all who see it. 
JAN VAN LEEUWEN (van Leeuwen, about 1928) Each $5.00 
Japanese type. Pure white guards with center of rather narrow 
yellow staminodes with yellow tipped carpels. Very similar to 
Isani-Gidui but smaller and blooms later on a medium height 
plant of good strong stems. It is one of the finest white Japs we 
have. Stock very scarce. 
KATE BARRY (Nicholls, 1938) Each $3.50 
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.

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 
The orchid of peonies. Japanese type. An exotic blending of 
shades of pink and yellow, rather difficult to adequately de- 
scribe. A vigorous grower. Very tall. Stock still rather limited. 
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

streaked with dark rose-pink. 
KOBE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00

curved staminodes, backed with rose. Center ball shaped. Harly. 
Interestingly different.

substance, possessing a satin sheen. Pale rose shading on out-

white with sometimes a blush tint. Staminodes yellow, carpels
