“Blowers prom the Wilds of Méssouré” 
PEONIES 
TO KALON (Kelsey, 1936) Each $5.00 
Double, late midseason. A pure white of real exhibition quality. 
Mr. Kelsey’s description follows: “Gold overlaid with silver and 
wrought into a perfect arrangement of petals, that’s To Kalon. 
It is distinctive on account of the golden tones coming from 
the depth of the flower. Bloom, large rose formation, midseason, 
semi-dwarf, good strong stems with dense foliage to the ground.” 
Mr. Kelsey chose the Greek name To Kalon, meaning ‘The 
Beautiful.” 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert, 1910) (9.4) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Flesh pink tinged with salmon; exquisitely delicate in shading. 
Large flat flower of rose type. One of the finest and most de- 
sirable peonies. In same class with Kelway’s Glorious and Mme. 
Jules Dessert. Strong grower and free bloomer. Very fragrant. 
Midseason.

able substance of the petals. Grows 42 to 45 inches in height. 
One of the most outstanding creations in recent years.

fading to almost white.

are produced in profusion. One of the first to bloom.

Each $4.00 
A very lovely double, large, midseason, bright, clear pink that is 
pleasingly fragrant. Strong, erect stems, rather dwarf. The 
blooms are exceptionally large under ordinary cultivation and 
make an outstanding display in the show room. The petals are 
rather loosely formed so that it always opens freely.

distinct color. Medium size, globular semi-rose type. Extra fine.

pink. 
WARD WELSH (Neeley, 1929) (8.78) Each $1.50 
A double, late, ivory white that is very attractive. Some years 
it does not open freely and this fault is reflected in the rating 
it carries. Late opening varieties are often damaged by thrip 
infestation, which is no fault of the flower.
