Dark Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Lights Out (Kelsey 1934) Large, rose pink double. The very last to bloom in the 
garden. Due to its lateness the peony season is considerably lengthened. Its 
outstanding feature is its extreme lateness. $2.50 
Mantilla (Kelsey 1936) A large flat rose pink. Strong stems. Very desirable. $3.50 
Marietta Sisson (Sass 1933) 9.02 Midseason pink on strong stems. Very attractive. 
$1.50 
Martha Bulloch (Brand 1907) 9.1 Martha has attained the age of almost fifty years 
and still she maintains her girlish freshness and charm. We have seen blooms 
that actually measured 12 inches in diameter. The color is a bright old-rose 
pink. The plant is tall and the stems never fail to hold the immense and stately 
blooms erect under all conditions. Delightfully fragrant. $2.00 
Maud L. Richardson (Hollis 1904) 8.5 Double, large to very large and a very late 
rose-pink with a flesh-pink undertone which is more pronounced at base of 
petals. Pleasing fragrance. Excellent stems and foliage. $1.50 
May Corbin (Kelsey 1934) Very deep pink double. Medium size, tall, wiry stems. 
Midseason bloomer. High built crown. Large flowers. Fragrant. $2.00 
Mons. Jules Elie (Crousse 1888) 9.2 This peony is well known and extensively 
grown for the commercial market. Has proved most satisfactory since intro- 
duction and 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. $1.50 
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. $3.00
