“Glawers from the Wilds of Missowi"” 
PEONIES 
MARIE LEMOINE (Calot, 1869) Each $1.00 
Pure white. Late. 
MARIETTA SISSON (Sass, 1933) (9.02) Each $1.00 
Very large pink on strong stems. Harly. 
MARIAN PFEIFFER (Pfeiffer, 1925) (8.52) Each $1.50 
Double, late midseason. Color a very brilliant red. Good strong 
stems. This is one of the best purest reds we have. 
MARION LANGE (Kelsey, 1943) Each $4.00 
Medium light pink full double, midseason. Stems medium height 
and good. Flower large. A very good bloomer. 
MARTHA BULLOCH (Brand, 1907) (9.1) 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Martha has attained the age of over forty years, but still main- 
tains her girlish freshness and charm. We have seen blooms 
that actually measured 12 inches in diameter. The color is a 
bright old-rose pink. The plant is tall and the stems never fail 
to hold the immense and stately blooms erect under all con- 
ditions. Not a very rapid propagator and for that reason stock 
is not too plentiful. 
MARY AUTEN (Auten, 1933) (9.41) Each $2.00 
This is a late, flesh white peony of much merit. Mr, Auten con- 
siders this one of the best of his many originations and named 
it in honor of his daughter. Stock still scarce and the demand 
should greatly exceed the supply. 
MARY BRAND (Brand, 1907) (8.7) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
A large midseason rose type bloom of dark, clear crimson show- 
ing a very brilliant sheen with very few yellow stamens buried 
in the collar. This peony originally sold for $100.00 each. 
MARY C. WEDGE (Secor, 1924) (8.1) Each $2.50 
Large double red. Midseason, strong stems, fragrant. 
MARY EASTMAN (Franklin, 1941) Each $3.00 
Creamy blush of perfect rose form, color opaque and flat, large, 
late, tall, good stem. 
MARY E. NICHOLLS 
MARY E. NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1941) Each $8.00 
This variety too recently introduced to be officially rated. A 
grand white peony similar to Kelway’s Glorious and any peony 
that can achieve that distinction has really gone places. Col. 
Nicholls is a keen judge of peonies and has chosen this one as 
outstanding. You will be fortunate, indeed, if you get one for 
your collection, Stock is still scarce. 
MARY WOODBURY SHAYLOR (Shaylor, 1916) (9.0) 
Each $1.00 
Guard petals flesh shell-pink, center creamy yellow with golden 
lights at base of the petals. Plants are dwarf with upright stems. 
Midseason. 
MARY B. VORIES (Vories, 1924) (9.07) 
Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
A very lovely double midseason. Large, creamy white with a 
great deal of class. Fragrant. An excellent, lovely white that 
is outstanding. 
MATILDA LEWIS (Saunders, 1921) (9.0) Each $2.00 
A large midseason, loosely formed dark maroon red. Resembles 
Mons. Martin Cahuzac in color, foliage and stem, but the flower 
is better filled out. The plant is generally considered a better 
grower than Mons. Martin Cahuzac and comes into flower a 
week earlier. 
MATTIE LAFUZE (Johnson, 1942) Each $10.00 
Double, white with faint tinge of pink when first opening. Very 
large bloom, sometimes measuring ten inches in diameter and 
five inches deep on mature plants. Medium height. Fragrant. 
Very long lasting. Late, midseason. Very strong, stiff stems. 
Opens freely. 
MATCHLESS BEAUTY (Neeley, 1936) (8.99) Each $3.00 
Midseason. White guards with broad yellow collar. Stiff stems. 
Very good. 
MAUD L. RICHARDSON (Hollis, 1904) (8.5) Each $1.00 
Double, large to very large and a very late rose-pink with a 
flesh-pink undertone which is more pronounced at base of petals. 
Pleasing fragrance. Excellent stems and foliage. 
MAY CORBIN (Kelsey, 1934) Each $2.00 
Very deep pink double. Medium size, tall, wiry stems. Midsea- 
son bloomer. High built crown. Large flowers. Fragrant. 
MEISSONIER (Crousse, 1886) Each $1.00 
Very brilliant red. In some cut-flower markets, known as the 
American Beauty Peony, because of its resemblance in color to 
the rose of that name. Good cut-flower variety. 
MEL GEDGE (Kelsey, 1937) Each $4.00 
For those who worship bigness, this flower satisfies that ambi- 
tion. A huge, milk-white double that unfolds into a charming 
globe of loveliness. Rarely do you see such size and beauty so 
skillfully combined. Early midseason bloomer. 
MILTON HILL (Richardson, 1891) (9.0) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Pure lilac rose. Large, compact, globular flower, rose type, deli- 
cate and beautiful coloring. Late. 
MINERVA (Sass, 1930) (8.94) Each $1.50 
Double. Late. White. Large symmetrically formed flowers of 
white with a hint of pink. Stems good of moderate height. A 
very good peony. 
MINNIE SHAYLOR (Shaylor, 1919) (8.9) 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
Semi-double type, large, midseason variety. This is a charming 
flower with several rows of fluffy crepe-like petals of clear, light 
pink, serrated at tips near center. Stamens very prominent. 
Anthers golden yellow with paler filaments. A very lovely flow- 
er that is simply stunning in the garden and landscape. 
MINUET (Franklin, 1931) (9.19) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
It richly deserves this rating. Very large, full rose type. Color, 
a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut- 
flower, as it has splendid keeping qualities. An introduction 
of Mr. Franklin that has received numerous awards anda variety 
that has truly outstanding merit. 
MISS INNOCENCE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
Double flesh-white flowers, fragrant. Dainty 7-inch blooms, 
loosely formed. Broad outer petals becoming smaller and in- 
curved as they reach the center bloom. Perfectly formed, early 
midseason bloomer, 
MME. CALOT (Miellez, 1856) (8.1) Each 75c

pink with creamy tints in the collar and the somewhat darker
