Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt 
Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Minuet (Franklin 1931) 9.19 It richly deserves this rating. Very large, full rose 
type. Color, a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut flower, as it has 
splendid keeping qualities. Fragrant. $2.00 
Moonstone (Murawska 1942) A tremendously popular, highly impressive mid-season 
peony. The beauty of the fully double, blush-pink flowers is greatly increased 
by a reflex shading to a slightly deeper color at the base of the petals. This 
blending of blush pink and pink gives each blossom a mellow tone such as is 
found in no other peony. This blending reaches the ultimate degree of perfection 
when used as a cut flower and exposed to artificial lighting. The strong stiff 
stems also make it a good garden variety. $8.00 
Mrs. Fern Lough (Gumm 1930) 9.17 Double, delicate pink, midseason bloomer. Color 
is similar to Tourangelle but infinitely better. Good foliage and stiff, strong 
stems holding the flowers erect. This variety possesses charm of high order. $4.50 
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 9.4 The rating on this peony has gradual- 
ly climbed, attesting to the worthiness of this beautiful creation. We believe 
this to be one of Mr. Franklin’s most outstanding contributions to the peony 
world. The flower is artistically formed, with extremely long, loose petals of 
soft pink. A splendid grower with excellent blooming habit. Its huge size, 
form and color combine to make it most attractive and it will grow in popularity 
when better known. A grand exhibition bloom. Awarded gold medal in 1948.

Mrs. Harry F. Little (Little 1936) 9.27 A late flesh pink that is very enticing and most 
desirable for any good planting. Stock is still scarce and a limited number of plants 
are available. $4.00 
Mrs. J. H. Neeley (Neeley 1931) 9.22 Late, flesh-pink. Good strong grower and a 
most desirable origination. We are now able to offer this peony to a few peony 
enthusiasts who want the best. Only a small number of divisions available this 
year. $2.50
