WHITE PEONIES 
A, B. Franklin (Franklin 
1928) 9.27 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 
distinction. We have 
watched this peony since 
its introduction in 1928 
and can find no fault 
with it in any way. 
Late bloomer. $3.00

A. B. C, Nicholls (Nicholls 1937) 9.45 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 exten- 
sively planted. $3.00 
Alice Harding (Lemoine 1922) 9.36 Double type, large midseason white. Very im- 
posing 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. $3.00 
Alsace Lorraine (Lemoine 1906) 8.8 Pure white, tinted with cream and buff. Double, 
large. Late midseason. Petals of a wavy texture, very symmetrically arranged 
in circular form. Very attractive, and makes a splendid landscape subject. 
$1.50 
Antoniette Heim (Kelsey 1939) Double white. Very similar to River Mist but colored 
a bit more. Good, strong grower. Late. $3.50 
Avalanche (Crousse 1886) 8.7 Double type, large, late, midseason variety. A blush- 
white of waxy texture with a faint pink center and very narrow crimson edges 
on a few of the center petals. A compact, generally incurved flower with the 
tops of the outer petals recurved from its ball-like center. Slight fragrance. 
This is a standard cut flower variety and extensively grown. $1.00 
Ball O’ Cotton (Franklin 1920) 8.8 As the name implies, this peony gives the im- 
pression of a large ball of cotton. Double type, large, late-midseason. Petals 
incurved, overlapping at first, forming a large, compact white ball. Later, the 
enormous outer petals unfold and the evenly graduated inner petals form a 
rose-like center of crisp texture. There is a faint lemon tint in the center when 
fully open. Fragrance mild and sweet. Strong stems, foliage good. Excellent 
habit for garden use, $2.50
