White Peonies (Continued) 
Baroness Schroeder (Kelway 1889) 9.0 A double white tinted flesh pink. This pink 
will disappear as flower opens leaving it a pure white. Tall, strong stems and 
one of the best cut flowers we have. Much in demand by commercial growers. 
$1.00 
Betty Blossom (Thurlow 1925) 8.9 A large, double, late mid-season variety, globular 
with white guard petals, faintly tinted yellow and sometimes flecked on the back. 
The distinct collar of narrow petals heavily edged gold and a tuft of yellow 
staminodes of clear yellow at the extreme center, produces a charming and dis- 
tinct yellow and white effect. $1.00 
Charlene (Kelsey 1942) Double, midseason, ivory-white bloom with cupped shaped 
center that resembles the cup of the night-blooming Cereus. Strong, sturdy stems 
and good foliage add to the excellence of this plant. Medium height. Flowers are 
large and hold up well. $3.00 
E. F. Kelsey (Kelsey 1936) Double, midseason, very large. A full white, with fine, 
strong stems. Extra fine quality bloom. Mr. Kelsey thought enough of this 
variety to let it bear his name. We are indeed fortunate in having the originator’s 
stock to offer. $3.00 
Elsa Sass (H. P. Sass 1930) 9.46 A Gold Medal variety very worthy of the distinc- 
tion: Full double, rather dwarf growing. A lovely white, veiled pink. Stems 
stiff and strong, holding the beautiful large bloom erect under all conditions. A 
true rose form with large petals throughout. Does well everywhere and is an 
outstanding favorite with all who grow it and a consistent winner at shows. 
One of the finest Sass originations. Possesses a texture like velvet and shows 
remarkable class. Another “must have.’ Mild, pleasing fragrance. $3.50 
Festiva Maxima (Miellez 1851) 9.3 The old reliable white. A massive, early double 
white with crimson markings. One of the most generally planted peonies in cul- 
tivation. This variety was originated over 100 years ago, but its sterling qualities 
in habit of growth and blooming make it most desirable. $1.00 
Florence Nicholls (Nicholls 1938) Late midseason white, shading to flesh pink 
towards center of bloom. Texture and quality of the petals are superb, giving 
the bloom its long lasting quality. Habit of growth is excellent. The stiff 
stems hold the lovely flowers rigidly erect. One of the finest peonies. $3.00 
Footlights (Kelsey 1938) A large, double Mons. Jules Elie type. Broad, pure white, 
outer petals surrounding a closely packed ball of narrow, overlapping and en- 
twined petals, enlivened by a golden glow that shines through from the depths. 
Total effect, a soft golden glow. Excellent. $3.00 
Frances Willard (Brand 1907) 9.1 Double, large, midseason. Opens a very pale 
pink, changing to white, with a yellow suffusion in collar. Shows faint red 
lines on edge of some center petals. Mildly fragrant. A variety that will give 
satisfaction each year. Heavy dark foliage. $1.00 
Frankie Curtis (Vories 1924) 9.3 This variety gives the impression of a white 
Standard Bearer as it is of rather dwarf habit. Flowers full double, opening a 
faint pink fading to white. Guards broad and evenly rounded, surrounding a 
high, globular, chrysanthemum-like center of incurved petals. Free flowering. 
Heavy dark green foliage. $2.00 
George W. Peyton (Nicholls 1938) Extremely large fully double creamy white with 
a pinkish blush tone. Clear white when fully open. Mild pleasing fragrance. 
A mid-season bloomer of medium height. $2.00
