Light Pink Japanese Peonies (Continued) 
Iwo (Nicholls) A rose pink Jap that is very attractive and interesting. Mr. Nicholls 
has originated some very fine singles and Japanese types in addition to the fine 
doubles to his credit. This is a dandy. $2.00 
Kagawa (Kelsey 1936) Japanese type. Flowers are dark rose. Guard petals are pink, 
surrounding a ring of yellow staminodes, edged rose, which are also intermingled 
and twisted with overlapping larger petals of lighter pink. Early midseason, me- 
dium sized bloom. The unusual formation of petals makes this one really unique. 
$2.00 
Largo (Vories 1929) 8.98 A lovely, soft medium pink Japanese type, with a center 
of prominent yellow staminodes. While introduced in 1929, it is not as well 
known as it should be for it is a splendid introduction worthy of a place in any 
fine planting of peonies. Has much class and the substance of the petals is 
exceptionally firm. $2.50 
Nippon Gold (Auten 1929) 9.02 Late Japanese variety. Deep pink guards. Intensely 
yellow center. One of Mr. Auten’s good varieties that is a fine addition to 
existing varieties in this type of bloom. $2.00 
RED JAPANESE PEONIES 
Akbar (Nicholls 1941) A midseason rose-red Jap., with bright golden staminodes. 
Tall and stately grower and a most attractive variety. When Col. Nicholls’ Jap. 
varieties are better known, they will be in great demand. They are surely out- 
standing. $1.50 
Battle Flag (Nicholls 1941) A very deep, glowing red Jap. Staminodes same color 
with golden reverse. Very unusual and attractive. Not yet rated but will rank 
with the best. We have a fine stock from the originator’s garden. $1.50 
Fuyajo (Origin unknown) 9.2 Dark purplish crimson. Here is a variety that has 
attracted great popularity. Center a cluster of old-rose petaloids heavily tipped 
with pale buff or cream. Tall, strong stems. Foliage ruffled and tipped with
