LADY ORCHID (Bigger, 1942) Each $8.00 
A beautiful well built flower. Orchid pink throughout. Plant is 
very clean cut bright green and the variety is a very good 
grower. 
LAKE O’ SILVER (Franklin, 1920) (8.62) Each $1.50 
Double. Midseason. Medium pink. Large rose-pink petals edged 
with silver suggesting its name. Bloom flat with stamens scat- 
tered throughout. Very distinctive. Medium height. Great garden 
variety. 
LA FRANCE (Lemoine, 1901) (9.0) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Rose type; enormous; very fragrant, strong, erect stems, soft 
pink. We like this very well. 
LA LORRAINE (Lemoine, 1901) (9.17) Each $1.50, 3 for $3.00 
One of the finest whites we have for the show table or garden 
planting. Cream white when first opening, with a faint touch 
of salmon pink. A very fine flower of excellent form on strong 
stems. A very free bloomer and always ranks among the best. 
LANCASTER (Kelsey, 1937) Each $2.00 
Medium pink, double. Semi-dwarf. Midseason. Large, heavily 
petaled, stiff stems. 
LA PERLE (Crousse, 1886) (8.5) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Double, large, midseason. Light old-rose pink. Slightly darker 
toward center. This is a most dependable variety. Fine show 
flower. 
LA ROSIERE (Crousse, 1888) (8.3) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
Cream white, beautiful coloring. Large, flat, semi-double flower 
Very striking. Midseason. 
LAST ROSE (Sass, 1930) (8.93) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Late, deep pink, in fact it is one of the latest to bloom in the 
garden, carrying the blooming season several days beyond nor- 
mal. Fully double. 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert, 1913) (8.8) 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
When first opening, this variety is pale pink in bud, opening 
cream or pale yellow, becoming white. This is not a full double 
but an anemone type that many people prefer. This variety 
could well be classed with the yellow group sometimes offered. 
While not yellow throughout, the large center of yellow carpels 
gives it that general appearance. Moderately fragrant. 
LAURA ELLEN (Kelsey, 1936) Each $5.00 
Light rose. Informal double. 8-inch blooms. Rather dwarf grow- 
er. Good stems. Early midseason. Much the color of Judge 
Berry but a shade darker. More dwarf growing and stronger. 
Very large flower. 
LAURA KELSEY 
LAURA KELSEY (Kelsey, 1941) Each $8.00 
Fully double, midseason, long pointed buds that open out large, 
fluffy, delicate light pink flowers fading lighter with ivory tints 
at base of petals, some tipped and other splashed with carmine. 
Blooms simply immense, 7% to 8 inches in diameter. A very 
charming flower with strong stems. A variety that should be 
added to every collection. Defies wind and driving rain due to 
stiff stems. 
LAURA TREMAN (Nicholls, 1943) Each $5.00 
Double midseason, large blush with fine form. Medium height. 
This is a new one, little known. We recommend very highly. 
LAURA VORIES (Vories, 1924) Each $2.00 
Flesh white, pink center. 
LE CYGNE (Lemoine, 1907) (9.42) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
One of the highest rated whites, tinged ivory when opening. 
Full double, very early blooming variety. Moderately fragrant. 
Foliage large, dark green. For years this was the highest rated 
peony. Will be found in any large planting. 
LIGHTS OUT (Kelsey, 1934) Each $2.50 
Large, rose pink, double. The very last to bloom in the garden. 
Due to its lateness the peony season is considerably lengthened. 
Its outstanding feature is its extreme lateness. 
LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm, 1921) (8.95) 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
Fully double. Large, midseason, fluffy flower of medium rose 
pink. Attains a large size. Outer petals are very large and ruf- 
fled, set edgewise to accommodate the great number of over- 
crowded center petals. Center petals arranged in whorls. Base 
of the petals show a chamois shade. Tall, vigorous grower with 
most pleasing fragrance. Stems strong and stiff. 
LILLIAN WILD (Sarcoxie Nur., 1920) Each $2.50, 3 for $6.00 
Lovely, delicate, flesh-pink becoming white, very large, compact 
rose type. Late. Mr. Peyton said of Lillian Wild “Long hidden 
down in the ‘Wilds’ of Missouri this very beautiful blush de- 
lighted all who saw it.” Won First Class Certificate here at the 
1950 National Show. 
LITTLE BUFFALO (Kelsey, 1939) Each $2.50 
Minature, semi-double. Pink. Very interesting due to its dwarf 
growing habits. Slender red stems. Early midseason bloomer.
