Peanies 
SUSAN WHITE (Brand, 1933) (9.05) Each $2.00 
An early midseason pure white of very fine form and large size. 
Plant tall and luxuriant with dark green foliage. Very long and 
narrow petals form a great compact dome-shaped center with 
large guards drooping gracefully away from it. Pure white, 
tinted heavy cream, with green showing at base of petals. 
Golden stamens add to the beauty of this fine white. 
SYMPHONY (Brethour, 1924) Each $2.00 
Fully double. Early midseason. Large light salmon pink. 
TAR BABY (Auten, 1931) Each $2.00 
Very dark red, semi-double; so dark the purple in it shows. 
Good height, medium size. Very much in demand. 
T. C. CARPENTER (Brand, 1942) Each $5.00 
Double, late, pure ivory, heavily shaded yellow with sometimes 
a hint of blush. Rounded petals arranged in perfect circles. 
Color very similar to that of Solange. Looks like a real find. 
Stock extremely limited. 
TEMPEST (Auten, 1931) Each $2.50 
Probably the best red, semi-double in commerce today. Only 
a few stamens, and they are well hidden. Brilliant clear dark 
red; the color holds. On tall stiff stems. Won first at 1941 
National Show. Very lovely. 
THE BISHOP (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
NR. Double. Midseason. Blush. Large blush guard petals with 
a collar of long narrow petals opening yellow and fading white 
with a center of white petals making a cap for the Bishop. 
A charming and excellent flower for the garden and house. Good 
stems of medium height. 
THE DISC (Sass, 1924) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Late rose red on tall sturdy stems, having perfectly round disc- 
shaped flowers. Quite showy. 
THE FLEECE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00, 3 for $8.00 
A big, full petaled, fleecy double white green gold at base of 
petals. Flowers are very large and fragrant. Stems strong with 
light green foliage. Medium height. A strong contender for 
first honors among the whites. Received Honorable Mention at 
A. P. S., Syracuse show. 
THE MIGHTY MO. 
THE MIGHTY MO. (Wild & Son, 1950) 
Each $2.50, 3 for $6.00 
This is another seedling of ours that could have been named 
SHOW OFF as that is what it does. It certainly makes a show 
of red. Fully double with a rich, lively, velvety red color. The 
flower grows on long stems and is a wonderful keeper. In our 
displays here it has held up better than any other variety. It is 
full of yellow stamens which, to many people, adds to its beauty. 
However, if you do not like yellow stamens in a flower, do not 
order this variety as it has a large amount of them. We think 
it is well worth the price asked. Winner of the American Home 
Achievment Medal for the best new named peony at the 1950 
National show. 
THE NATHANS (Kelsey, 1937) Each $2.50 
Large, rose pink, double. Semi-dwarf. Pleasing fragrance. Broad 
outer petals. Center closely twisted and overlapping. 
THERESE (Dessert, 1904) (9.54) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Satiny pink, changing to lilac-white in the center; glossy reflex. 
Enormous, compact, rose type, later developing a high crown. 
Erect, strong grower. 
THISBE (Brethour, 1943) Each $3.00 
High built double, medium light pink. Good stems. Midseason. 
Should open well from tight bud. 
THOR (sass, 1937) (8.95) Each $1.50 
A double midseason variety. Here is a good red of distinctive 
color and when better known will be more generally grown. 
THURA HIRES 
THURA HIRES (Nicholls, 1938) Each $3.00, 3 for 7.50 
Large petaled white with a heavy overlay of lemon yellow. Late 
midseason bloomer. When first opening the yellow is decidedly 
apparent. A very lovely creation that you will want to add to 
your collection. This is very good. 
TINY TIM (Kelsey, 1941) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
Minature, semi-double, light pink. Very interesting. The flower 
is formed like the old familiar variety Marie Jacquin. Early 
midseason. Bloom ranges in size from 1% to 3 inches. Fine for 
arrangements. 
TITANIA (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
Very large glistening white with yellow stamens. Semi-double. 
Some full double.
