11 New Introductions for 1951 
(3 of which are very rare) 
ANN COUSINS (Cousins, 1946) Each $100.00 
D. LM. W. Full double pure white with rose fragrance. Flower 
medium to large in size. Stems are of medium height. The open 
flower needs some support. The foliage is large. The plant is a 
vigorous and healthy grower and a dependable bloomer. The 
quality of the bloom is excellent. This outstanding new variety 
is now offered for the first time. However, the plants will not 
be delivered until September, 1952. Place your order now. We 
think Ann Cousins to be one of the three best new Peonies. 
BETTY CALVERT (Nicholls, 1950) Each $50.00 
Double. Midseason. Blush. No. 391. Very large rather flat 
blooms with very wide petals. Exquisite coloring of blush fading 
to white. Faint pleasant perfume. Good stems of medium height. 
CATHERINE CRAIN (Nicholls, 1948) Each $50.00 
Double. Early midseason. Light pink. No. 451. (Marie Crousse 
x Spring Beauty). Glowing light pink of exquisite tint fading 
white. Wide petals, perfect rose shape. Very large blooms of 
lasting substance. Robust and floriferous. Tall, strong stems. 
Very fragrant, spicy. 
DORIS COOPER (Cooper, 1946) Each $50.00 
Very light pink, fully double. Tall with good stems. Late flower- 
ing. Beautiful form and coloring. This no doubt is one of the 
top peonies ever offered as it has won: best flower in the show, 
American Home Achievement Medal and Gold Medal of the 
A. P. S. and many other high honors. 
(We flew 5,000 miles just to see this one and Pink O’Dawn in 
bloom. We liked them so well that we immediately purchased 
the entire stock of both.) 
FLORENCE ELLIS (Nicholls, 1948) Each $100.00 
Double. Midseason. Medium pink. No. 926. (Marie Crousse x 
Lady Alexandra Duff). Clear medium pink of beautiful tone. 
Wide petals, perfect rose shape. Very large.. Lasting substance. 
Tall strong stems. Nice fragrance. This, we think, is No. 2 in 
the three best of the outstanding new introductions. 
GEORGE J. NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1948) Each $75.00 
Double. Very late.. White. No. 978. (Marie Crousse x Lady 
Alexandra Duff). Creamy white with strong amber underglow, 
deepest at center. Color similar to Solange. Wide petals, perfect 
rose shape. Huge refined blooms. Very tall strong stems. 
Jim Wild 
and the Peony, 
J. C. Legg. 
Each $100.00 
Double. Midseason or later. White. No. 913. (Marie Crousse x 
J. C. NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1948) 
Spring Beauty). White with glowing pink center, lighted by 
strong greenish yellow underglow. Beautiful shape. Spicy fra- 
grance. Huge but chaste and defined. Lasting substance. Tall 
very strong stems. Robust grower and free bloomer. This one 
is No. 3, we believe, in the three best new introductions. 
MARTHA SHARP (Nicholls, 1949) Each $50.00 
Double. Midseason. Medium pink. No. 1251. (Marie Crousse x 
Lady Alexandra Duff). Full double, clear rose pink with occa- 
sional light markings on the petals, which are wide and of last- 
ing substance. Medium height, strong grower and free bloomer. 
PINK O'DAWN (Cooper, 1946) Each $20.00 
Full rose type, petals large and evenly placed. Strong stems 
and an excellent keeper. Foliage large, smooth and growing far 
down on the stems. Tall and late. Color, flesh deepening to 
the center. Winner of the American Home Achievement Medal 
at the 1950 Peony Show in Minneapolis. 
CYGNET (Nicholls No. 58) (1951) Each $5.00 
Tentative name only. Very large and fine white single. Good 
strong stems. Coral stigmas. This is another one of Col. Nich- 
olls’ fine seedlings that is now offered for the first time. 
OPHA (Wild & Son, 1950) Each $5.00 
A very beautiful white single which Mrs. Gouveneur of White 
Cloud Farm, Carthage, Mo., thought good enough to have named 
for herself. 
You will note the first nine introductions are quite high 
in price; this is because our supply is quite limited. For 
example, we have 21 plants only of Florence Ellis and 19 of 
J. C. Nicholls. We have been asked many times to price these 
so we offer them here. We think this group of peonies tops 
and predict they will still be popular 100 years from now, 
just as Festiva Maxima and Mons Jules Elie are.

Betty Calvert, Catherine Crain, Florence Ellis, George J. 
Nicholls, J. C. Nicholls and Martha Sharp are the cream of 
Col. J. C. Nicholls’ hand crossed seedlings. These seedlings 
were the last of his peonies and in our opinion his finest.
