Opal (Pleas 1908) 8.5 Double type, large midseason. Pale rose pink becoming almost 
white when fully open. Petals long pointed and arranged in a deep funnel-like 
form. As the name indicates the coloring is very delicate and opalescent. $1.00 
Ottawa (Kelsey 1935) A double, rich pink shading lighter at base of petals. High 
built crown. A very good variety but little known. $4.00 
Pastel (Nicholls 1941) Here is a charming peony very aptly named. Color a fine 
salmon pink. This is one of the new ones and little known to the general public. 
The stock we are growing is direct from the originator’s garden. Not as yet 
rated, but we predict that the rating will put it in a class with the good ones. 
The pleasing, delicate coloring is most attractive. $3.50 
Peach Blow (Shaylor 1938) 8.98 A very early bloomer, semi-double in form. Rather 
dwarf, with a delicate peach pink color. Valuable, due to its extreme earliness 
and beauty of flower. Stock rather scarce at the present time. Very much worth 
while. $4.00 
Peggy (Auten 1931) Double, early dwarf. Bright silvery pink. Petals notched and 
crinkled. No rating as yet. $1.25 
Phyllis Kelway (Kelway 1908) 9.0 We have always admired this semi-double variety 
due to its daintiness and artistic makeup. Color is rose pink, paling to white in 
center. Hollow, cupped form at first showing many stamens, later developing 
a flat crown which covers the imperfect collar. Faintly fragrant. Medium 
height. Very floriferous. $1.25 
Pink Charm (Kelsey 1936) Early, double, soft flesh-pink. Broad outer petals around 
shorter, twisted and overlapping petals. Fragrant. $3.00 
Pink Lustre (Kelsey 1936) Semi-double, flat flower of light pink. Early. Flowers 
much the same formation as Marie Jacquin. $2.50 
President Wilson (Thurlow 1918) 9.3 Double. Very late and large. Bright rose- 
pink, paling with age; a trifle darker in the deep, cupped center. Possesses a 
rich, spicy fragrance. Medium height, floriferous, strong stems and good foliage. 
$1.50 
Queen of Hamburg (H. P. Sass 1937) 8.96 A very full double, bright, gleaming pink. 
The flower is immense, yet so perfectly formed that it is not rough or ungainly. 
Stems are tall and strong. A free, dependable bloomer with healthy, heavy, 
dark green foliage. A recent introduction of much merit. $2.50 
Rare Carving (Kelsey 1935) Loosely formed, medium pink, semi-double. Large 
yellow stamens. Tall, strong stems. Originally named Spring Beauty but Col. 
Nicholls had priority to the name. $2.50 
Reine Hortense (Calot 1857) 8.7 This variety remains one of the best commercials 
we grow. It is a lovely, tall midseason rose-pink. Crisp, fluffy petals of trans- 
lucent texture, notched and silvered at the tips. There is an occasional fleck of 
crimson in the center of the flower. Sometimes referred to as President Taft. 
$1.00 
Rose Shaylor (Shaylor 1920) 9.1. Pale flesh-pink, tinted with rose-pink, lighter 
at the edges and shading to creamy yellow at base of petals. Central petals 
strongly marked at edges with crimson. Flat flower, opening hollow in center, 
displaying a creamy flesh-pink surrounded by a band of similar richly colored 
petals. Has mild fragrance. This is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best originations.
