Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Peach Blow (Shaylor 1938) 8.98 A very early bloomer, semi-double in form. Rather 
dwarf, with u delicate peach pink color. Valuable, due to its extreme earliness 
and beauty of flower. Stock rather scarce at the present time. Very much worth 
while. $2.50 
Phyllis Kelway (Kelway 1908) 9.0 We have always admired this semi-double variety 
due to its daintiness and artistic makeup. Color is rose pink, paling to white in 
center. Hollow, cupped form at first showing many stamens, later developing 
a flat crown which covers the imperfect collar. Faintly fragrant. Medium 
height. Very floriferous. $1.00 
Pink Charm (Kelsey 1936) Early, double, flesh-pink. The outer petals are long 
and broad, the inner ones are shorter, twisted and overlapping, producing a 
very charming effect. Fragrant. $2.09 
Rare Carving (Kelsey 1935) Loosely formed, medium pink, semi-double. Large 
yellow stamens. Tall, strong stems. Originally named Spring Beauty but Col. 
Nicholls had priority to the name. $2.00 
Reine Hortense (Calot 1857) 8.7 This variety remains one of the best commercials 
we grow. It is a lovely, tall midseason rose-pink. Crisp, fluffy petals of trans- 
lucent texture, notched and silvered at the tips. There is an occasional fleck of 
crimson in the center of the flower. Sometimes referred to as President Taft. 
$1.00 
Shirine (Dr. F. C. Brethour 1936) Double, late midseason. Delicate blush of splendid 
form. A Canadian origination of real merit. $2.00 
Silvia Saunders (Saunders 1921) 8.7 Semi-double type. Rather small but a delight- 
ful, extra early, cup-shaped, bright, clear rose-pink, fading lighter toward the 
center of flower, which is filled with yellow stamens, among which the very 
bright pink stigmas make a conspicuous pattern. Dwarf habit of growth, good 
grower and a very abundant bloomer. A most delightful and charming subject 
for flower arrangement. $2.00 
Therese (Dessert 1904) 9.54 A favorite for many years. Since introduction it has 
enjoyed enviable popularity as a garden and show flower. The bloom is ex- 
ceptionally large, composed of extremely long petals of pale, translucent, old 
rose-pink, paling toward the base and illumined by a golden yellow glow in the 
depths. Heavy foliage, strong stems and a free, dependable bloomer. 
$1.50 
Tiny Tim (Kelsey 1941) Miniature semi-double, light pink. Very interesting. The 
flower is formed like the old familiar variety Marie Jacquin. Early midseason. 
Blooms ranges in size from 1% to 3 inches. Fine for arrangements. $2.00 
Tourangelle (Dessert 1910) 9.4 Regardless of the fact that this peony was originated 
many years ago, it still remains one of the most beautifully colored peonies 
in the garden. It is a full double, large and late. A pale, cream white with a 
tan suffusion in the depths, toning to flesh pink in the center. Light, wiry stems. 
Has the rich delicate coloring of the inside of a sea shell. A very beautiful 
creation. Grand fragrance. $1.00 
Vesper (Kelsey 1935) Anemone type. Pink guards. Ivory staminodes, tinted pink. 
A striking color combination. Large and showy. Very attractive in the garden.
