Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
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 
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. $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. $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 
Hans P. Sass (H. P. Sass 1939) 8.18 A very large and late, rich satin, blush white, suf- 
fused shell pink. Center is illuminated with an inner glow that is outstanding. Re- 
fined and beautiful creation. Free, consistent bloomer. $3.00
