White Peonies (Continued) 
Golden Dawn (Gumm 1923) 8.58 A late, midseason double. White guards and 
bright yellow center. Stems excellent. One of the best “near yellows.” $1.00 
Grace Gedge (Kelsey 1934) Double, late midseason. Creamy white, flushed with 
pink. Very refined. Resembles Nick Shaylor in color. Fragrant. $3.00 
Harry F. Little (Nicholls 1933) 9.42 Very large white with a faint blush of pink in 
the inner petals. When at its best a faultless flower. Awarded the Gold Medal 
of the American Peony Society for excellence. Pleasing fragrance. $2.00 
Ivory Brooch (Kelsey 1943) Double, ivory white. Outer petals tightly incurved over 
a closely packed center. As the flower matures these outer petals still retain 
their slightly crimped and incurved formation. The total effect is a medallion 
like bloom, resembling a carved brooch of ivory. Formation very uncommon. 
The bloom always has a bud-like appearance. $2.50 
James Kelway (Kelway 1900) 8.7 Double, very large. Opens a very faint pink fad- 
ing to almost white with age, but still retaining a slight flush on outer petals. 
Foliage good. Stems tail. $1.00 
John M. Good (Welsh 1921) 9.3 A large, midseason double. Outer petals are very pale 
pink, shading to ivory white or pure white in the center which is illuminated with a 
yellowish tint in the depths of the flower. Vigorous grower with tall, stiff stems. 
$1.00 
Kelway’s Glorious (Kelway 1909) 9.56 This peony is aptly named, as it is a glorious 
creation and a most popular white. There is a creamy diffusion in the depth of 
the flower, and occasionally there will be a few crimson edges on center petals. 
Strong, roselike fragrance. Free flowering with strong stems. A peony that is 
much sought after and admired. $2.50 
Le Cygne (Lemoine 1907) 9.42 One of the highest rated whites, tinged ivory when 
opening. Full double, very early blooming variety. Moderately fragrant. Fo- 
liage large, dark green. For years this was the highest rated peony. Will be 
found in any large planting. $2.00
