very charming effect. Fragrant. $2.09 
Queen of Hamburg (H. P. Sass 1937) 8.96 A very full double, bright, gleaming pink. 
The flower is immense, yet so perfectly formed that it is not rough or ungainly.

dark green foliage. $2.00 
Rare Carving (Kelsey 1935) Loosely formed, medium pink, semi-double. Large 
yellow stamens. Tall, strong stems. Originally named Spring Beauty but Col.

Reine Hortense (Calot 1857) 8.7 This variety remains one of the best commercials 
we grow. It is a lovely, tall midseason rose-pink. Crisp, fluffy petals of trans- 
lucent texture, notched and silvered at the tips. There is an occasional fleck of 
crimson in the center of the flower. Sometimes referred to as President Taft.

form. A Canadian origination of real merit. $3.00 
Silvia Saunders (Saunders 1921) 8.7 Semi-double type. Rather small but a delight- 
ful, extra early, cup-shaped, bright, clear rose-pink, fading lighter toward the 
center of flower, which is filled with yellow stamens, among which the very 
bright pink stigmas make a conspicuous pattern. Dwarf habit of growth, good 
grower and a very abundant bloomer. A most delightful and charming subject 
for flower arrangement. $2.00 
Therese (Dessert 1904) 9.54 <A favorite for many years. Since introduction it has 
enjoyed enviable popularity as a garden and show flower. The bloom is ex- 
ceptionally large, composed of extremely long petals of pale, translucent, old 
rose-pink, paling toward the base and illumined by a golden yellow glow in the 
depths. Heavy foliage, strong stems and a free, dependable bloomer. 
$2.00 
Tiny Tim (Kelsey 1941) Miniature semi-double, light pink. Very interesting. The 
flower is formed like the old familiar variety Marie Jacquin, Early midseason. 
Blooms ranges in size from 1% to 3 inches. Fine for arrangements. $2.00 
Tourangelle (Dessert 1910) 9.4 Regardless of the fact that this peony was originated 
many years ago, it still remains one of the most beautifully colored peonies 
in the garden. It is a full double, large and late. A pale, cream white with a 
tan suffusion in the depths, toning to flesh pink in the center. Light, wiry stems. 
Has the rich delicate coloring of the inside of a sea shell. A very beautiful 
creation. Grand fragrance. $1.00

bright, clear pink, that is pleasingly fragrant. Strong, erect stems, rather dwarf. 
The blooms are exceptionally large under ordinary cultivation and make an 
outstanding display in the showroom. The petals are rather loosely formed so 
that it always opens freely. $4.00
