Toro-no-maki (Origin unknown) 9.0 <A very lovely, white Japanese variety with a 
prominent yellow center. Very similar to Isani-Gidui, but we have always con- 
sidered it a stronger grower. Petals have great substance and are of heavy 
texture. Strong grower with stiff stems and a most worthy addition to any 
peony planting. $2.50 
Yeso (Origin unknown) 7.7 A very interesting and attractive white, with tints of 
yellow in its makeup. Strong, upright grower that adds greatly in producing a 
charming landscape effect. Flowers excellent for floral work.

pink, darker on the edges and in the middle petals, paling to white at base.

The yellow does not fade in the sun. Not for sale 1951. 
China Maid (Murawska 1941) A midseason, medium pink with a great deal of 
appeal. Stock still scarce as the variety is not well Known. We have seen it in 
the originator’s garden and like it very much. $3.00 
Elma (Kelsey 1936) Japanese type. Pale pink changing to white. Guards very shape- 
ly, cupped and crimped. Staminodes long and yellow. Seed pods green, flecked

shaped guard petals which retain their shape until the bloom fades and the 
petals fall. $2.00

One of the yellowest centers to be found in the garden. Feathers slightly.

on good stems. We have a good stock of this variety direct from the originator 
and hope to see many gardens graced with its presence. $2.50 
Kathalo (Kelsey 1934) Not yet rated. The orchid of peonies. Japanese type. An 
exotic blending of shades of pink and yellow, rather difficult to adequately de-
