PEONIES 
IRWIN ALTMAN (Kelsey, 1940) Each $8.00 
A very fine, clear glowing light red unlike any other red. Good 
form and pleasing color, that will be much in demand when 
better known. Mr. Kelsey was justly proud of this origination. 
All stock direct from the originator’s garden. Full double with 
petals symmetrically arranged and very fragrant. Color is very 
distinctive in formation and most desirable. 
IRVING FLINT (Kelsey, 1935) Each $6.00

sembles Le Cygne in form. Medium sized bloom. Light green 
foliage. Holds form and color remarkably well. Rich both in

ivory. Formation very uncommon. The bloom always has a bud- 
like appearance.

JG LEGG 
J. C. LEGG (Wild & Son, 1950) Each $3.00, 3 for $8.00 
Large bomb type flower with a lovely yellow cast when first 
open. The flower reminds one of a large mum with every other 
petal in the bomb, yellow in color when first open. As the 
flower ages, we are sorry to say, the yellow fades into white. 
We have tested this variety several years before deciding to 
introduce it. It is a heavy bloomer of medium height and has 
attracted considerable attention. Collar around the bomb is 
white. This flower shows more yellow than any other double 
variety we are growing to date. We are continuing to use this 
variety as one of the parents in our hybridizing for a pure yel- 
low peony. 
JOHN C. DUGAR (Home Garden Co., 1937) Each $2.00 
Large deep rose pink flower of good form and color. Tall with 
good stems, Late. 
J. F. COOPER (Kelsey, 1937) Each $4.00 
Double. Large. Very deep or rose pink bloom shading lighter 
toward tips of petals. Early bloomer. Tall, strong stems. 
JOHN M. GOOD (Welsh, 1921) (9.3) Each $1.00 
A large midseason double. Outer petals very large, graduating 
smaller and smaller toward a flat open center which does not 
show stamens or carpels. Outer petal very pale pink at first, 
shading to ivory white or pure white in the center illuminated 
by a yellowish tint in the depths of the flower. Richly fragrant, 
tall, vigorous, stiff stems. 
JOSEPH CHRISTIE (R. Rosefield, 1939) Each $5.00 
White with yellow tones at base of petals. Medium height. Pos- 
sesses great charm. Late midseason. 
JOYCE (Auten, 1938) Each $2.50 
Late rich pink, fully double blooms of medium size on tall stiff

row, and loosely arranged, giving a feathery effect. Stems long 
but weak. Midseason.
