NOTICEHE—Prices quoted in our list on Peonies are for 3 to 5- 
eye divisions. Should you want larger plants, we can supply 
plants of 6 to 10 eyes at double the printed price. 
A. B. C. NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1937) (9.45) Each $3.00 
Col. Nicholls considers this one of his very best introductions. 
It is a lovely, double, late white, with a hint of pink and a de- 
cided orange glow at the base of petals. Stock of this variety 
very scarce. This origination will be eagerly sought after when 
better known and more extensively planted. 
A. B. FRANKLIN (Franklin, 1928) (9.27) Each $2.00 
A very light blush when first opening, fading white. Very lovely 
flower of beautiful form that has a place with the finest peonies 
produced. A Gold Medal winner and very worthy of that dis- 
tinction. Late bloomer. A very fine one but doubt it doing well 
in the South. 
ACME (Franklin, 1931) (8.90) Each $1.50 
Very large rose type, light pink with stiff stems and good foli- 
age, a sure and profuse bloomer, late, 36 inches. 
ADMIRAL (Franklin, 1940) Each $4.00 
Huge rose type white splashed with crimson, strong straight 
stems, tall, late. 
ADONIS (Sass, 1930) (8.73) Each $1.00 
Light pink with deep yellow collar, late. 
AERIE (Bigger, 1948) Each $5.00 
Cup shaped, semi-double, very light pink to white. Almost every 
flower has an eagle’s nest of petals built up in the center and 
with a collar of yellow stamens surrounding it. Very good sub- 
stance and medium green foliage. 30 inches. 
AS GoOPERRY (Brand; 1933) (8.91) Each $2.00 
Semi-double. Midseason. Light pink to blush. A delightfully 
formed and colored flower. 
ALBERTA KELSEY (Kelsey, 1937) Each $2.50 
Double. Delightfully fragrant. Light rose pink. Gold tipped 
petals interspersed among neatly cupped petals. Medium sized 
flowers. One flower is a bouquet. Combines beauty of petals and 
a delightful perfume. Harly midseason. 
ALESIA (Lemoine, 1927) (9.05) Each $5.00 
Double. Late. White. Full double flower of large size, creamy 
white deepening to the center, perfect form, medium height, 
good stems, fine foliage, slightly fragrant. Quite dependable. 
One of the most beautiful of all peonies and still very scarce. 
ALEX. D. VORIES (Vories, 1924) (8.27) Each $1.00 
Midseason, rose red, good. 
ALICE HARDING (Lemoine, 1922) (9.36) Each $2.00 
Double type large midseason white. Very imposing appearance. 
Even rounded guard petals of delicate flesh pink, flushed darker 
on the reverse, surrounding a cupped center of long, irregular 
petals of creamy white. Some stamens concealed in the center 
of flower. Very fragrant. Stems and foliage good. One of the 
finest French originations.

(Catalog Value $20.50) 
ANDY 
ANDY (Auten, 1936) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
This is one of the best reds in our opinion. Fully double, me- 
dium to dark in color. It is a good grower and a heavy producer 
of flowers. A center of attraction among our red flowers here 
at Sarcoxie. 
ANNE BIGGER (Bigger, 1944) Each $8.00 
Late midseason. Splendid medium pink, well built up. Good 
stems. 
ARTHUR H. FEWKES (Fewkes, 1935) Each $15.00 
D.L. Fully double. Tall, good stems. Large loosely built, white 
with tan and pink tints in the center. Rather flat flower. This 
was never disseminated by Mr. Fewkes. He gave it to a number 
of friends and it is found in several gardens. When at its best 
it is a beautifully colored flower and has good form. Late. 
ARMISTICE (Kelsey, 1933) Each $3.00 
Double, large rose pink. Very tall and strong stems. Rose for- 
mation. Late midseason. Very good variety. Fragrant. 
ARGENTINE (Lemoine, 1924) (8.6) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.25 
Late midseason. A large globular flower with symmetrically ar- 
ranged petals of good substance; color purest white with creamy 
tint toward the center; fragrant. This variety shows much 
promise and was among the top white we saw while in Minne- 
apolis in 1945. Recommended for northern sections only. 
ASA GRAY (Crousse, 1886) (8.1) Each 75c 
Guard petals salmon-pink, center delicate lilac, sprinkled with 
minute dots of deeper lilac. Semi-rose type. Midseason. 
AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert, 1920) (8.7) Each $1.00 
Double type, large midseason. Each petal edged with narrow, 
light border. Flower lightens in color from dark pink to a much 
lighter shade. Very attractive. 
AUTEN’S PRIDE (Auten, 1933) (9.18) Each $2.00 
Light pink with lavender shades, rose fragrant. Large bloom, 
sure to open. Late. Stems stiff, just above medium height; 
a strong grower. Most outstanding.
