Dark Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Laura Ellen (Kelsey 1936) Light rose. Informal double. 8’ blooms. Rather dwarf 
grower. Good stems. Early-midseason. Much the color of Judge Berry but a 
shade darker. More dwarf growing and stronger. Very large flowers. $4.50 
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 
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 
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. $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 
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 
Rosada (Nicholls 1942) Late midseason. Very large and tall, wide petaled, full double 
of medium rose pink. Honorable Mention Certificate by A.P.S. A very desirable 
acquisition for any fine peony collection. $4.00 
Rosalie (Auten 1927) 8.78 Here is a little gem for your garden that can occupy a 
space where a tall-growing variety would not be satisfactory. As the name 
implies, it has the appearance of a large rose. Has some stamens, but they are 
well hidden in the depth of the bloom. Full double, medium-sized bloom. 
Clear, rose color. $1.50 
Rose Glory (Otis 1940) Double, large, rose colored flower. A new color departure. 
Fragrant, early-midseason. Semi-dwarf. Good, strong stems. Stock very scarce 
and little available. $4.50
