Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Flower Girl (Auten 1935) 9.27 This beautiful variety is one of the good ones Mr. 
Auten has offered us among the many produced. A very early, flesh-white 
double that is pleasing to the eye, both in the garden and when in competition 
on the show table among the very best in its class. As near perfection as we 
usually find, and one that will make you stop in your tracks to admire. A real 
beauty. $4.00 
Frontier (Kelsey 1941) Large, light-pink double. Very late. Very full petaled 
massive bloom and pink in color. This is a variety of considerable merit. Par- 
ticularly valuable on account of the lateness of the variety which considerably 
extends the blooming season. A “honey” and you will want to add it to your 
collection. $4.00 
Garden Princess (Neeley 1930) 9.1 A rich silvery soft light pink. Golden stamens 
in center add charm to the flower. Midseason. Tall grower. $1.00 
George W. Peyton (Nicholls 1938) 9.43 A late, flesh colored peony of outstanding 
merit. We have grown this fine peony for the past few years and have been 
much impressed with it. Mr. Peyton is an acknowledged authority on peonies. 
We think you will like it sufficiently well to add it to your collection. There is 
a pinkish-blush tone in the flower that adds to its beauty. Fully double, good 
stems, medium height. $3.00 
Gov. Fuller (Thurlow 1930) 8.66 Large, shell pink. Deeper in center. Very attrac- 
tive. Strong stems. $1.50 
Grace Kelsey (Kelsey 1935) Double, midseason, a bewitching shade of pink that 
Mr. Kelsey says is almost identical with Mrs. Livingston Farrand. Flowers large, 
fragrant and holds color well. Huge size. Good stiff stems, holding the flower 
perfectly erect. Mr. Kelsey named this variety in honor of his wife and if it 
were not a good peony it would not have received that honor. $5.50 
Grandiflora (Richardson 1883) 8.8 One of the latest peonies to bloom in the garden and 
for that reason very desirable to extend the season. A bright pink, double, flat 
bloom, that attains a very large size. The fragrance is very pronounced, but 
not particularly pleasing, according to our standard of smell. 
$1.00 
Grandiflora Nivea Plena (Lemoine 1824) Double. Very large and early. Guards 
large, faintly pink, fading to white with age. Fragrant. Stems inclined to be 
rather weak for heavy bloom. $1.00 
Guidon (Nicholls 1941) A lilac pink of good depth that Col. Nicholls selected from 
his many seedlings for introduction. Too new to have a rating but it should 
have a good one. You will hear more of this in the future and it should be 
shown at future peony shows more generously. Only a limited number to be 
offered this year. $3.00 
Hansina Brand (Brand 1925) 9.04 A lovely, glistening flesh pink with a salmon reflex 
shading toward the base of petals. This variety has been a consistent winner 
at national and local peony exhibitions and is most dependable, giving a splendid 
performance every year. A late bloomer, and as the flowers fade they resemble 
a perfectly formed specimen of Solange, it never fails to produce fine flowers. 
A “must have” for any fine planting of peonies. $2.50
