Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Dorothy J. (R. H. Jones 1937) Full double, deeply built, globular flowers of large 
size. The guard petals give it its wonderful form. The color is a soft, even 
shade of delicate pink. Silver Medal winner at Rochester, Minn., June, 1940, 
Show of the American Peony Society. This peony has maintained its high rank 
since introduction. Late midseason bloomer. Delicate fragrance. $10.00 
Elizabeth Huntington (H. P. Sass 1930) 8.98 An early double, loosely formed, pale 
pink with stamens showing. Tall and imposing. An exquisite flower appealing 
to the eye. $1.00 
Florence Macbeth (H. P. Sass 1924) 9.2 Pale shell-pink, deepening toward the center. 
Very full double. Opens rather flat with shell-like outer petals, illuminated by 
a golden glow in the depth of the flower. Slightly fragrant, Moderately tall. 
Strong grower with good foliage. $1.00 
Flower Girl (Auten 1935) 9.27 This beautiful variety is one of the good ones Mr. 
Auten has offered us among the many produced. A very early, flesh-white 
-double that is pleasing to the eye, both in the garden and when in competition 
on the show table among the very best in its class. As near perfection as we 
usually find, and one that will make you stop in your tracks to admire. A real 
beauty. $4.00 
Grace Kelsey (Kelsey 1935) Double, midseason, a bewitching shade of pink that 
Mr. Kelsey says is almost identical with Mrs. Livingston Farrand. Flowers large, 
fragrant and holds color well. Huge size. Good stiff stems, holding the flower 
perfectly erect. Mr. Kelsey named this variety in honor of his wife and if it 
were not a good peony it would not have received that honor. $3.00 
Guidon (Nicholls 1941) A lilac pink of good depth that Col. Nicholls selected from 
his many seedlings for introduction. Too new to have a rating but it should 
have a good one. You will hear more of this in the future and it should be 
shown at future peony shows more generously. $2.00 
Hansina Brand (Brand 1925) 9.04 A lovely, glistening flesh pink with a salmon reflex 
shading toward the base of petals. This variety has been a consistent winner 
at national and local peony exhibitions and is most dependable, giving a splendid 
performance every year. A late bloomer, and as the flowers fade they resemble 
a perfectly formed specimen of Solange, it never fails to produce fine flowers. 
A “must have” for any fine planting of peonies. Pleasing fragrance. $2.50 
Hans P. Sass (H. P. Sass 1939) 8.18 A very large and late, rich satin, blush white, suf- 
fused shell pink. Center is illuminated with an inner glow that is outstanding. Re- 
fined and beautiful creation. Free, consistent bloomer. $2.50 
Harry L. Burden (Neeley 1930) 8.93 A double, midseason, light-rose pink that is 
much admired in our planting. Very good form with good strong stems, with 
the added inherent quality of being a free bloomer. This attribute makes it 
well worth while. $2.00 
James Pillow (Pillow 1936) A doub‘e, late, ight pink with a distinctive band of light 
creamy-yellow petaloids half way down the bloom on established plants. A be- 
witching combination of yellow and pink that seems to appeal to all. $3.09
