ANDY 
ANDY (Auten, 1936) Each $2.00, 3 for $4.50 
M. D. Red. This is one of the best reds in our opinion. Medium to 
dark in color. It is a good grower and a heavy producer of flowers. A 
center of attraction among our red flowers here. 
ARMANCE DESSERT (Doriat, 1929) (8.75) 
L.M. D. Pink, N.F. Very lovely flesh-pink. 
AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert, 1920) (8.7) Each $1.00 
L.M. D. Pink. Each petal edged with narrow, light border. Flower 
lightens in color from dark pink to a much lighter shade. Very attrac- 
tive. 
Each $2.00 
ANN COUSINS 
ANN COUSINS (Cousins, 1946) Each $60.00 
L.M. D. White. M.H. R.F. Full double pure white with rose fragrance. 
Flower medium to large in size. The open flower needs some support. 
The foliage is large. The plant is a vigorous and healthy grower and a 
dependable bloomer. The quality of the bloom is excellent. We think 
ANN GOUSINS to be one of the three best new Peonies. Blooms from 
92-year-old divisions won the best flower of the Greater Kansas City, 
Missouri, Iris and Peony Show; and won first place in the Amateur 
Specimen Division of the National Peony Show at Lake Mohawk, New 
Jersey, 1952. From the results in the 1952 shows from 2-year-old 
divisions, we predict that ANN COUSINS will be a constant winner 
at the shows in the future.
