L. M. D. Pink. Light pink with a yellow collar. One of the best and 
most beautifully colored of this type. Pale pink petals appearing suf-

really a fine one. 
AERIE (Bigger, 1948) Each $4.00 
E.M. S.D. White. 30 inches. Cup shaped, very light pink, to white. 
Almost every flower has an eagle’s nest of petals built up in the center 
and with a collar of yellow stamens surrounding it. Very good substance 
and medium green foliage. Outstanding.

E.M. D. Pink. V.F. Light rose-pink. Gold tipped petals interspersed 
among neatly cupped petals. Medium sized flowers. One flower is a 
bouquet. Combines beauty and a delightful perfume.

M. D. White. V.F. Very imposing appearance. Even rounded guard 
petals of delicate flesh-pink, flushed darker on the reverse, surrounding 
a cupped center of long, irregular petals of creamy white. Stems and 
foliage good. Fine French origination. 
ANNE BIGGER (Bigger, 1945) Each $4.00 
L.M. D. Pink. This very large medium pink flower is very smooth in 
color and always opens. Very pretty buds, medium dark green foliage 
and strong stems.

M. D. Pink. N.F, Large globular blooms of tender pink which retain 
their coloring until the petals fall. The petals are broad and rounded, 
forming a cupped-shaped flower of smooth attractive appearance. 
Good both as a cut flower and for garden use. 
We Send Zuality Koote 
Standard 3 to 5-eye Peony divisions, which is the best size to plant; fresh dug 
to order, grown in rich Ozark soil. Every precaution is taken to grow heathy, 
vigorous stock. This means that our minimum price cannot be as low as some grow- 
ers make, but our roots are worth the prices asked, and our average price for all 
varieties is much lower than many dealers ask.

merce. Some of the most recent originations, as well as some of the out- 
standing creations that have stood the test of time and are presented for 
your consideration. All of the 1,400 varieties are not listed, for the reason 
stocks on some of these are limited and others that do not test out will be 
discarded. In our Peonies we are fortunate in having a very choice stock 
of the famous Nicholls and Kelsey varieties. Last fall we added several of 
Professor Saunders’ new varieties. 
ALESIA 
ALESIA (Lemoine, 1927) (9.05) Each $5.00 
L. D. White. M.H. M.F. Full double flower of large size, creamy 
white deepening to the center, perfect form, good stems, fine foliage. 
Quite dependable. One of the most beautiful of all Peonies. 
ALMA HANSEN 
ALMA HANSEN (Cooper, 1946) Each $15.00 
L. D. Pink. T. No F. Full rose type, petals large and evenly placed. 
Strong stems. Foliage large, smooth and growing far down on the stems. 
Color—flesh deepening to the center. Flowers hold up unusually long. 
Not quite as pink as picture shows. In fact, it has flesh center fading 
to white at edges. With age fades almost white. Formerly called PINK 
O’ DAWN. This is another contest prize winner.
