Mons. Jules Elie (Crousse 1888) 9.2 This peony is well known and extensively 
grown for the commercial market. Has proved a most satisfactory introduction 
and for over 60 years has been a source of real satisfaction to peony growers 
throughout the land. To the novice, amateur, or professional alike, it always 
delights and behaves most exemplary. Full double type, very large and very 
early. Light rose-pink. Broad, smooth guard petals. Center incurved and 
silvered with light-grayish pink. Very tall and free flowering. $1.50 
Mrs. F. A. Goodrich (Brand 1925) 8.94 This variety originally rated 9 and we believe 
this rating should still stand. Large, double type. Late blooming variety. Dark, 
deep bright pink, with long, narrow petals of good substance. Stock rather 
limited and we believe it deserves more recognition. We have only a limited 
amount of stock to offer this year. $2.50 
Mrs. John M. Kleitsch (Brand 1925) 9.0 A tall, stately, deep pink that comes very 
late in the season. Due to this fact, it is better suited for locations where the 
June sun does not get too torrid. The petals are long, broad and pointed and 
of exceptional substance. Full rose type and pleasingly fragrant. It brightens 
up the garden after most of our favorites have thrown off their decorative and 
colorful robes for the season. $2.00 
Nancy Gedge (Kelsey 1934) Double, deep pink very late midseason. Good foliage 
and strong stems. Very desirable, resembling Tourangelle in color when first 
opening. $3.00 
Ninon (Doriat 1925) 8.86 Double, midseason pink. Striking in foliage, stem and 
flower, this plant excites your interest and admiration from its first appearance 
above ground in the spring to its death by frost. The flower is large, of excellent 
form and color that is rarely found, being a light pink with a distinctly reddish 
tinge. $2.00 
Old Forge (Kelsey 1936) Rose pink, double. High built crown. Medium sized flowers 
on long, strong stems. $2.00 
President F. D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 8.85 A full double, late, tall, deep pink 
variety that is taking its place among the elite in peonydom. We find this a 
splendid, sturdy grower, and flowers are borne on strong, stiff stems. Foliage a 
dark green. A variety you will admire in your garden. $4.00 
Rosada (Nicholls 1942) Late midseason. Very large and tall, wide petaled, full double 
of medium rose pink. Honorable Mention Certificate by A.P.S. A very desirable 
acquisition for any fine peony collection. $4.00 
Rosalie (Auten 1927) 8.78 Here is a little gem for your garden that can occupy a 
space where a tall-growing variety would not be satisfactory. As the name 
implies, it has the appearance of a large rose. Has some stamens, but they are 
well hidden in the depth of the bloom. Full double, medium-sized bloom. 
Clear, rose color. $1.50 
Rose Glory (Otis 1940) Double, large, rose colored flower. A new color departure. 
Fragrant, early-midseason. Semi-dwarf. Good, strong stems. Stock very scarce 
and little available. $4.50 
Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine 1906) 9.0 A double, late-midseason variety that is much 
in demand as a florists’ variety. The dark rose-pink color, with petals edged a 
trifle lighter, gives an attractive appearance. Was originated in 1906, but still 
is a very popular variety, as it carries in storage very well. Also will be found 
in large collections on the show table competing with more recent originations.
