Peanies 
NANCY NICHOLLS 
NANCY NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1941) Each $4.00, 3 for $10.00 
A grand white with a pink suffusion at the center of bloom 
that is most artistic. Here is a variety really worth while and 
we are indeed fortunate in having a good stock to offer direct 
from the originators garden. This is one of the new, fine peo- 
nies still unrated. Watch for it at the shows and you will be 
impressed with its beauty, which is very appealing. 
NANCY NORA (Bernstein, 1942) Each $10.00 
A clear soft pink. Very good substance. Large full rose type. 
Fine form. Outstanding fragrance of Rose Geranium. Opens 
easily even after four weeks of cold storage, still retaining its 
fine fragrance. Good strong stems that easily hold up the large 
flowers without support. Received A. P. S. H. M. Certificate at 
the Topeka National Peony Show in 1942. 
NAOMI (Auten, 1933) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Rich creamy flesh, very large, on tall stiff stems. Practically ~ 
full double. Barly midseason. 
NEBRASKA (Sass, 1939) Each $2.00 
Pure white, large and tall. Late. Very good. 
NEW ERA (Franklin, 1939) Each $2.00 
A pure white Mons. Jules Elie. On the broad rounded guards 
rests a giant white mum. Guards are prominent as the flower 
opens but the central bomb heightens and expands to form a 
perfect Elie in glistening white. Midseason. 
NICK SHAYLOR (Shaylor & Allison, 1931) (9.4) 
Each $3.00, 3 for $7.50 
In our estimation, one of the best of the newer peonies. A beau- 
tiful rounded cup-shaped bloom with tremendously large, nicely 
rounded petals that overlap one another as petals of rose. Color 
is a deep pure flesh pink. 
NIMBUS (Andrews, 1923) (9.03) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
An extra fine flesh-pink coming into bloom late in the Peony sea- 
son. The flower is rose type, fragrant and greatly admired by all 
who see it. The plant is tall with excellent stems. A fine show 
flower and equally good in the garden. 
NINA SECOR (Secor, 1921) (9.0) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
An absolutely pure white of true rose type. A few of the central 
petals show a fine crimson edge. The flower is built high with a 
cupped rosebud center and resembles Kelway’s Glorious. The 
flowers are medium to large. The plant is tall, graceful, with 
light green foliage. The plant needs careful disbudding to bring 
the blooms to exhibition size. Midseason. 
NOBILITY (Van Leeuwen) Each $1.00 
Bright pink. Very good. We like it. 
NOEL (Kelsey, 1935) Each $6.00 
Double midseason. Very large 7-inch blooms, perfectly finished 
on extra tall stems. This is a red double as good as many and 
better than most. Color clear, but intense. Stock very scarce. 
NYMPHAEA (Thurlow, 1919) (8.8) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
Flat flowers of creamy white petals mixed with yellow stamens. 
The edge of the petals are somewhat rolled, giving a water lily 
effect. Midseason. 
OCTAVIE DEMAY (Calot, 1867) (8.5) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
Pale hydrangea pink. Very large with flat crown; fragrant. 
Dwarf habit, but leaves grow low on stalk and permit cutting 
good length stems. Free bloomer. Fades to white. 
ODILE (Doriat, 1928) Each $2.00 
Double, late midseason. Large white sphere with lilac tinted 
center. This is a fine peony and make no mistake about it. 
Worthy of any garden planting and it is a fine show flower. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA (8.6) Each $1.00 
Vivid crimson; large round bloom. 
OLD SIWASH (Auten, 1939) Each $2.00 
A large, rose fragrant blush white double on tall stiff stems 
that seem to have about all the good points that a peony needs. 
ONONDAGA (Little, 1935) (8.92) Each $4.00 
A midseason peony that is different. There is a rich metallic 
sheen in the coloring that is unique. A tall growing, dark red 
with stiff stems and good foliage. 
OPAL (Pleas, 1908) (8.5) Each $1.00 
Double type, large midseason. Pale rose pink becoming almost 
white when fully open. Petals long pointed and arranged in a 
deep funnel-like form. As the name indicates, the coloring is 
very delicate and opalescent. 
OTTAWA (Kelsey, 1935) Each $4.00 
A double, rich pink shading lighter at base of petals. High 
built crown. A very good variety but little known. We like it 
very much. 
OZARK BEAUTY (Sarcoxie Nur., 1950) 
Each, $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
This received Honorable Mention here at the 1950 National 
Show. It is an exquisite radiant dark pink of compact rose type. 
Late free bloomer on heavy stems. 
PARTY GOWN (Kelsey, 1942) Each $4.00 
Very large, flesh white, double. Full petaled rose formation. 
Profuse bloomer on strong stems. Faintly fragrant. To see it 
in full bloom makes it a “must have.’ You can be most liberal 
in the use of superlatives on Party Gown and not fully describe 
it. Loveliness well dressed with freshness and charm. 
PASTEL (Nicholls, 1941) Each $4.00 
Here is a charming peony, very aptly named. Color a fine gal- 
mon pink. This is one of the new ones and little known to the 
general public. The stock we are growing is direct from origina- 
tor’s garden. Not as yet rated, but we predict that the rating 
will put it in a class with the good ones. The pleasing delicate 
coloringiis most attractive. 
PATHFINDER (Auten, 1939) Each $1.00 
Full double, medium pink; late midseason; heavy substance; 
good for cutting. 
PEERLESS (Franklin) Each $3.00 
NR. Double. Late. White. Very large globular bloom opening 
blush and fading white. Its stems are extra strong and the foli- 
age good and down to the ground. Medium height. A beautiful 
flower.
