Rubio (Nicholls 1941) A deep, clear red that is a good addition to our group of reds. 
Another new one that needs more checking for detailed information. $2.00 
Ruth Clay (Kelsey 1935) What shall we say about this fine red peony? When we 
visited Mr. Kelsey’s gardens, we were greatly impressed with it. Double, early, 
midseason. A rich living red that is different. Watch for this variety at the 
shows. It is a truly outstanding red that should be in every choice collection of 
peonies. No matter how many red peonies you have you will find Ruth Clay 
different. Watch for this one as it is really fine. $7.00 
Shawnee Chief (Bigger 1940) A new one not yet officially rated. Double, midseason, 
dark, brilliant red. This is a recent introduction and a very worthy addition to 
our list of reds now in commerce. $2.50 
Thor (Sass 1937) 8.95 A double midseason variety. Here is a good red of distinctive 
color, and when better known will be more generally grown. Stock limited. $2.00 
Valor (Kelsey 1939) Very fine red double. Mr. Kelsey considered this one of the 
best reds in his planting. Midseason. Good stems and foliage. $2.00 
WHITE SINGLE PEONIES 
Albiflora-The Bride (Dessert 1902) Pure white single. Large, saucer shaped blooms 
with long petals rounded at the ends. Medium height. Very prolific. Quite 
closely resembles La Fiancee. $1.50 
Le Jour (Shaylor 1915) 8.6 What a lovely single this one is. Early, very large, with 
two rows of very long, wide overlapping petals. Center a broad ring of golden 
yellow stamens a group of reddish carpels tipped darker and having a pink line 
at base. Tall, free bloomer. Stands erect with good foliage. Keeps exception- 
ally well when cut. Gives a most charming landscape effect. $1.50 
Mildred May (Murawska 1943) Pure white, with a row of gold just below the center. 
Semi-double. Fine texture and a most desirable addition to any planting. $5.00 
LIGHT PINK SINGLE PEONIES 
Dainty (Nicholls 1941) Early single. Light silvery pink. Very large flower. At- 
tractive and desirable. This is one of the new ones that we predict will go 
places when better known. $2.50 
Helen (Thurlow 1922) 9.0 Single type, early. Double row of broad, round, shell- 
pink petals, with a mass of golden stamens in center. Foliage, dark green. 
This is a very dainty variety, and is grand for landscape effect. Flowers also 
excellent for floral arrangements. $1.50 
Pink Bonnet (Kelsey 1935) Seedling K-5 Single, clear, light pink. One of the first 
to bloom of the sinensis varieties. Petals are mostly cupped and shaped like a 
tulip. $2.50 
Wild Rose (Kelway) 8.5 This peony is well named, as it does resemble a wild rose. 
Single type, large, midseason variety. The long, smooth petals are powdered 
thickly with tiny rose-pink dots, giving a pale-pink effect. Small cluster of 
yellow stamens in center, carpels crimson. Slightly fragrant. Good, strong 
stems and very free bloomer. Most interesting on account of markings on petals.
