Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Lottie Dawson Rea (John L. Rea 1939) Double, midseason. A very trim flower of 
light pink with exquisite tints. Received Honorable Mention Certificate of the 
A.P.S. Stock still very scarce and too new to be officially rated. $6.00 
Marie Crousse (Crousse 1892) 8.9 Double, pale pink shading rose to center. Very 
fragrant cinnamon odor. This is one of the seedling parents of Mrs. Livingston 
Farrand. $1.00 
May Morn (Nicholls 1952) This peony was first introduced in 1952 after careful obser- 
vation for several years. A sister seedling of Florence Nicholls which it resembles 
in form. Full double, rose type bloom of delicately tinted salmon pink. Fine habit 
of growth, nice clean foliage and strong stems. This makes a wonderful cut flower 
when cut in bud and taken indoors to open. $5.00 
Minnie Shaylor (Shaylor 1919) 8.9 Semi-double type. Large, flat mid-season variety. 
Very charming flower with several rows of fluffy crepe-like petals of clear, light 
pink, serrated at tips near center. Stamens are quite prominent but they greatly 
enhance the charm of the flower. Anthers are golden yellow, with paler filaments. 
Free blooming. A fine exhibition plant for garden or landscape. $1.50 
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. $2.50 
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 ot 
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. Harry F. Little (Little 1936) 9.27 A late flesh pink that is very enticing and most 
desirable for any good planting. Stock is still scarce and a limited number of plants 
are available. $4.00 
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. W. C. Otis (Otis 1939) Double, large, light pink with artistically formed petals.
