Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Minuet (Franklin 1931) 9.19 It richly deserves this rating. Very large, full rose 
type. Color, a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut flower, as it has 
splendid keeping qualities. A recent introduction of Mr. Franklin that has re- 
ceived numerous awards and a variety that has truly outstanding merit. $2.50 
Mme. Emile Galle (Crousse 1881) 8.5 Double type, large and late. Very large, rose 
pink which is more strongly defined in the center and without crimson markings. 
Fair rose fragrance. Very delicate color and texture. Medium height and free 
flowering. Good stems and foliage. $1.00 
Moonstone (Murawska 1942) Here is a recent origination that has made a favorable 
impression on peony lovers. A midseason double, perfectly formed blush pink 
that is especially attractive in transmitted light. Its name indicates its coloring. 
Stock still very limited. Very much worth while. $6.00 
Mother Ross (Kelsey 1935) Double. Medium to large bloom. Very delicate pink 
outer petals. Pink in center. Good stems. Petals symmetrically arranged form- 
ing a lovely bloom. $3.00 
Mrs. C. S. Minot (Minot 1914) 9.2 Double type, very large and late. Guard petals 
large, undulating flesh pink with coppery tints on outer surface. Center incurved, 
flesh white in collar deepening to cream pink in center, illuminated by a few 
golden yellow stamens. $1.50 
Mrs. Fern Lough (Gumm 1930) 9.17 Double, delicate pink, midseason bloomer. Color 
is similar to Tourangelle but infinitely better. Good foliage and stiff, strong 
stems holding the flowers erect. This variety possesses charm of high order. $4.50 
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 9.4 The rating on this peony has gradual- 
ly climbed, attesting to the worthiness of this beautiful creation. We believe 
this to be one of Mr. Franklin’s most outstanding contributions to the peony 
world. The flower is artistically formed, with extremely long, loose petals of 
soft pink. A splendid grower with excellent blooming habit. Its huge size, 
form and color combine to make it most attractive and it will grow in popularity 
when better known. A grand exhibition bloom. Awarded gold medal in 1948. 
$4.00 
Mrs. George Rawson (Allison 1931) 8.84 Double flower of very light pink shading 
lighter to center. Late. Tall and fragrant. $2.00 
Mrs. J. H. Neeley (Neeley 1931) 9.22 Late, flesh-pink. Good strong grower and a 
most desirable origination. We are now able to offer this peony to a few peony 
enthusiasts who want the best. Only a small number of divisions available this 
year. $4.50 
Mrs. Livingston Farrand (Nicholls 1935) 9.36 We consider this one of the most out- 
standing originations, as far as color is concerned, that has been introduced 
in many years. A double, late-midseason variety. Large, well formed flowers 
of the purest pink yet seen ir Chinensis peonies. A really sensational flower 
that is outstanding in the showroom or home garden. If Col. Nicholls had only 
originated this one variety, he would have left to posterity a living monument 
to his genius. $6.00 
Mrs. R. M. Bacheller (Vories 1930) 9.98 Double, midseason blush pink. Very large 
cup-shaped bloom. If grown well makes a most attractive flower. $4.00
