Lancaster (Kelsey 1937) Medium pink, double, Semi-dwarf, midseason. Large, 
heavily petaled, stiff stems. $2.00 
Laura Treman (Nicholls 1943) Double midseason, large blush with fine form. Medium 
height. This is a new one, little known and we are fortunate in having a fair 
stock direct from the originators gardens. $4.00 
Laverne Christman (Brand 1925) 8.91 We believe this variety should have a higher 
rating. When Mr. Brand made his outstanding display of $50 peonies at the 
National Peony Show in St. Paul, Minn., in 1923, Laverne was given the liberty 
of selecting one to bear her name. She chose this variety, which resembles a 
very good Therese in color, form and general makeup, but comes into bloom 
mucn later in the season. A large flower of rose type, loosely formed, with 
long, broad petals. In color it is a deep, rose-pink, shading lighter toward the 
edges. Plant tall and vigorous. A flower of much grace and refinement in 
structure. Stock rather limited. $3.00 
Little Buffalo (Kelsey 1939) Miniature, semi-double. Pink. Very interesting due to 
its dwarf growing habits. Slender, red stems. Early, midseason bloomer. $2.00 
Lottie Dawson Rea (John L. Rea 1939) Double, midseason, A very trim flower of 
light pink with exquisite tints. Received Honorable Mention Certificate of the 
A.P.S. Stock still very scarce and too new to be officially rated, $8.00 
Lulu Little (Little 1938) Late midseason, light pink. _Mr. Little, who originated this 
variety, was one of our most able peony authorities and a noted judge of peonies, 
selected this variety from his seedlings and gave it his daughter’s name; 
something he would not have done had the peony not possessed real merit. Stock 
very limited. $4.00 
Marie Crousse (Crousse 1892) 8.9 Double, pale pink shading rose to center. Very 
fragrant cinnamon odor. This is one of the seedling parents of Mrs. Livingston 
Farrand. $1.00 
Minuet (Franklin 1931) 9.19 It richly deserves this rating. Very large, full rose 
type. Color, a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut flower, as it has 
splendid keeping qualities. A recent introduction of Mr. Franklin that has re- 
ceived numerous awards and a variety that has truly outstanding merit. $2.50 
Mme. Emile Galle (Crousse 1881) 8.5 Double type, large and late, Very large, rose 
pink which is more strongly defined in the center and without crimson markings. 
Fair rose fragrance. Very delicate color and texture. Medium height and free 
flowering. Good stems and foliage. $1.00 
Moonstone (Murawska 1942) Here is a recent origination that has made a favorable 
impression on peony lovers. A midseason double, perfectly formed blush pink 
that is especially attractive in transmitted light. Its name indicates its coloring. 
Stock still very limited. Very much worth while. $8.00

outer petals. Pink in center. Good stems, Petals symmetrically arranged form- 
ing a lovely bloom. $3.00
