Early midseason. 
W. L. GUMM (Gumm, 1929) (9.34) Each $1.50, 3 for $3.50 
A double midseason, beautiful white, built up on medium height 
stems. Petals have heavy texture and the bloom is excellently 
formed. Center shows an ivory white sheen that adds to the 
beauty of the flower. Very refined and greatly admired. 
YOSEMITE (R. Rosefield, 1941) Each $4.00 
Large full double white with yellow base. Quite tall and late. 
Excellent plant and beautiful flower. 
Japanese 
AMA-NO-SODE (Japan) (9.2) Each $2.00 
A fine pink Japanese peony. Very scarce. Guard petals bright 
rose pink. Center yellow at base with upper half chamois yellow 
edged with gold and faced with pink of the same tone as the 
guards. Outstanding. 
AKBAR (Nicholls, 1941) Each $2.00 
A midseason rose red Jap. with bright golden staminodes. Tall 
and stately grower and a most attractive variety. When Col. 
Nicholls’ Jap. varieties are better known, they will be in great 
demand. They are surely outstanding. 
AZTEC (Nicholls, 1941) Each $1.25 
Midseason, large, bright scarlet-rose. Staminodes rose with 
orange-rose, tipped bright gold. This is a most attractive Jap. 
and will prove a most worthy addition to any collection. 
AUREOLIN (Shaylor, 1917) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Pink, yellow center; exquisite. 
BATTLE FLAG (Nicholls, 1941) Each $1.50 
A very deep, glowing red Jap. Staminodes same color with 
golden reverse. Very unusual and attractive. Not yet rated, 
but will rank with the best. 
CHARLES DORIAT (Doriat, 1933) Each $2.00 
Japanese. Lilac guards and salmon center. 
CHARM (Franklin, 1931) (9.22) Each $1.50 
This peony was very aptly named by Mr. Franklin, for it does 
posses charm in a high degree. A very dark red Jap. Good up- 
right grower. Vigorous and late. A lustrous, satiny sheen on the 
petals gives it a very classy effect. One of the best of its color. 
CREVE COEUR (Auten, 1929) Each $1.00 
Very distinct, a miniture, only 3 to 5 inches, on a large tall 
plant. Clear dark red, rose fragrant. As bloom ages a narrow 
white line appears down the middle of outside of narrow center 
petals. Very popular in flower arrangements. 
DRAGON'S NEST (Auten, 1933) Each $2.00 
’Medium red, typical Jap. except that many blooms have a large 
tuft in the center. Very brilliant for garden effect; comparable 
in that respect to Nippon Brilliant. 
DRESS PARADE (Auten, 1937) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Light red Jap., lighter center. One of first Japs. to bloom; fine 
vigorous plant. 
DR. JEKYL (Auten, 1936) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Plays a dual role. A late, brilliant dark red Jap., with center 
flushed distinctly lighter. At the same time there may be tufts 
or well built semi-double blossoms. Plant habit and garden ef- 
fect is extra good, making a blaze of color late in season. 
ELAINE (Kelsey, 1939) Each $4.00 
NR. Japanese. Midseason. White. Small white guards slightly 
tinted pink, staminodes long and narrow, yellow fading white. 
Carpels gray tipped red. A nice flower. 
ELMA (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
Japanese type. Pale pink changing to white. Guards very shape- 
ly, cupped and crimped. Staminodes long and yellow. The strik- 
ing characteristic of this Japanese variety is the cupped shaped 
guard petals which retain their shape until the bloom fades and 
the petals fall. When we first saw this flower in Mr. Kelsey’s 
garden we thought it to be as fine as any he had produced. The 
coloring is very delicate. 
YOUTH (Kelsey, 1935) Each $2.00 
Large double blush white with ivory tones at base of petals. 
Good stems and foliage. 
ZIP COON (Auten, 1931) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Rich dark red, semi-double, showing purple. 
ZULU BRIDE (Auten, 1933) Each $1.00

Japanese type. Large rose pink staminodes, self color edged 
with straw color. A very striking plant, tall and vigorous. Harly. 
Staminodes so full they almost cover the petals. Something off 
the beaten path. Fine.

tall.

season. A free bloomer; tall stiff stems. 
GODDESS (Unknown; may be Kelway) Each $3.00 
Japanese. Deep pink, with center of yellow staminodes suffused 
pink. One of the best of its color. A very good peony and one 
that will please.

and flower quite large. We saw this flower in Tigard, Oregon, 
this year when it was in full bloom and think it one of the finest 
we have ever seen. 
GOLD STAR (Kelsey, 1938) Each $2.50 
Midseason Japanese type. Pale pink guard petals with yellow 
staminodes. 
GOLDEN ARROW (Nicholls, 1941) Each $1.50

yellow arrowheads. The carpels harmonize in color. Overlapping 
petals. Distinct.

with bright yellow staminodes and carpels tipped bright salmon 
pink. Medium height. Excellent plant and foliage. One of the
