Mrs. Frank Beach (Brand 1925) 9.0 A very large, late, creamy white flower, fully 
double. Plant is rather dwarf growing, but the stems are stiff and sturdy, hold- 
ing the flower erect. A very good addition to any planting of the better peonies. 
$2.00 
Mrs. J. V. Edlund (J. V. Edlund 1929) 9.51 A wonderful show flower, large pure 
white of perfect form. A hard one to beat on the show table and a runner up at 
annual peony shows for highest honors. As a show flower it is unsurpassed. 
Although introduced some years ago stock is still scarce due to heavy demand. 
Fragrant. This variety always prominently displayed at Minnesota peony shows, 
its native state of introduction. $3.00 
Nancy Nicholls (Nicholls 1941) A grand white with a pink suffusion at the center 
of bloom that is most artistic. Here is a variety really worth while and we are 
indeed fortunate in having a good stock to offer direct from the originator’s 
garden. This is one of the new, fine peonies still unrated. Watch for it at the 
shows and you will be impressed with its beauty which is very appealing. $4.00 
Nimbus (Andrews 1923) 9.03 Double, full deep flower of palest rose fading to white. 
Late bloomer. Tall growing. A very distinguished flower. This will make a 
fine addition to any peony planting. $2.00 
Party Gown (Kelsey 1942) Very large, flesh white double. Full petaled rose forma- 
tion. Profuse bloomer on strong stems. Faintly fragrant. To see it in full 
bloom makes it a “must have.” You can be most liberal in the use of super- 
latives on Party Gown and not fully describe it. Loveliness well dressed with 
freshness and charm. $4.00 
Primevere (Lemoine 1907) 8.6 One of the near yellow Chinensis peonies that hy- 
bridizers have been working on for years to obtain a real, full, double yellow. 
Anemone type of medium size. Midseason bloomer. The flower is rather flat, with 
creamy white cupped guards, rarely showing spots of red. Center composed of 
short, narrow petals of canary-yellow, becoming light with age. Fragrant. Good 
dark green, rather coarse foliage. When well grown from good, healthy stock, 
stems are ample to hold the bloom erect. $1.25 
Rare Etching (Kelsey 1939) Double white, rose formed bloom. Delicate shades of 
pink and gold in center. Extremely beautiful in form and petal arrangement. 
Musk odor, Late midseason. Well named. Ultimate refinement in formation, 
bloom and coloring. $5.50 
Rare China (See page 28 and 29) 
Resplendent (Franklin 1931) 8.98 Here is an immense white, fully double that appears 
in late midseason. A very fine variety of real merit. Stock limited. Its name 
is well chosen, $3.50 
Reverend H. N. Tragitt (Brand 1928) 9.0 Medium size, pure white double. Rose 
formation. This is a good one and not as well known as it should be after being 
on the market so many years. Its high rating indicates its worth. $2.00
