JAPANESE PEONIES 
AKBAR (Nicholls, 1941) Bach $1.50 
M. J. Red. T. A rose-red with bright golden staminodes. Stately grower 
and a most attractive variety. When Col. Nicholls’ Jap. varieties are 
better known, they will be in great demand. They are surely outstand- 
ing. 
AUREOLIN (Shaylor, 1917) (8.9) Each $1.00 
M. J. Pink. A light rose-pink which is paler at the edges. Center com- 
posed of narrow bright canary-yellow petaloids, with yellow carpels, giv- 
ing a fine yellow effect. Anemone type. 
AZTEC (Nicholls, 1941) Each $1.50 
M. J. Red. Large, bright scarlet-rose. Staminodes rose with orange-rose, 
tipped bright gold. This is most attractive and will prove a most worthy 
addition to any collection. 
CALYPSO (Andrews, 1925) (8.63) Each $3.00 
M. J. Pink. T. Guards pale amaranth-pink, staminodes deep Tyrian rose 
tipped yellow. Good. 
CHARM (Franklin, 1931) (9.22) Each $2.00 
L. J. Red. T. A very dark red. Good upright grower. Vigorous. A 
lustrous, satiny sheen on the petals gives it a very classy effect. One of 
the best of its color. 
Each $1.00 
CREVE COEUR (Auten, 1929) (7.97) 
M. J. Red. T. R.F. Very distinct, a miniature, only 3 to 5 inches, on 
a large plant. Clear dark red; as bloom ages a narrow white line ap- 
pears down the middle of outside of narrow center petals. Very popular 
in flower arrangements. 
DIADEM (Andrews, 1932) Each $3.00 
M. J. Red. M.H. Rich red guards with staminodes same color tipped 
yellow. An excellent one. 
DRAGON’S NEST (Auten, 1933) Each $2.00 
M. J. Red. M.H. Medium red, except that many blooms have a large 
tuft in the center. Very brilliant for garden effect. 
DRESS PARADE (Auten, 1937) Each $1.00 
E.M. J. Red. Light red, lighter center. One of the first Japs. to bloom; 
fine vigorous plant. 
DR. JEKYLL (Auten, 1936) Each $1.00 
L. J. Red. ‘T. Plays a dual role. Brilliant dark red, with center flushed 
distinctly lighter. At the same time there may be tufts or well built 
semi-double blossoms. Plant habit and garden effect are extra good, 
making a blaze of color.

M. J. White. Small white guards slightly tinted pink, staminodes long 
and narrow, yellow fading white. Carpels gray tipped red. A nice flower.

brilliant. 
FUYAJO (Origin unknown) (9.2) Each $1.50 
M. J. Red. T. One of the five highest rated and best Japanese Peonies. 
Guard petals dark, rich mahogany-red, center petaloids same color, 
tipped chamois. 
GOBLIN 
GOBLIN (Auten, 1931) Each $1.50 
M. J. Red. T. Bright red, center petaloids tipped and streaked lighter. 
A free bloomer; stiff stems. 
Japanese Peonies are most artistic for floral arrangements, and they last as 
long or longer than the full double types. The open flowers are extra wide 
spread with two or more layers of broad guard petals which act as a cup to 
the mounded center. They produce an enormous amount of flowers, creating 
a riot of color in the garden. Because of their strong stems you never see them 
in the mud after a rain. 
GALLANT RED (Auten, 1950) Each $2.00 
M. J. Red. Richly colored red guards, staminodes long and narrow 
same color, with faint white tips and stripings. Carpels tipped white. 
Good. 
GEISHA (H. P. Sass, 1930) Each $2.00 
M. J. Pink. A large fine flower with fine medium pink coloring. There 
is a red Jap from Holland under this name which is very brilliant and 
good. Do not confuse them. 
GLOWING EMBERS (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
E.M. J. Rose. Rose color guards, lighter on edges. Self staminodes 
with a tiny spark of white on the tips. All one color except the tips 
of white. Guards crimped and cupped. 
HARI-AI-NIN (Babcock, 1929) (9.13) Each $2.00 
M. J. Red. M.H. Very large deep red guards with staminodes tipped 
yellow slightly. Fine stems and very floriferous. Good red. 
HARVEST MOON (Kelsey, 1936) Each $2.00 
M. J. White. Similar to SHAYLOR’S SUNBURST. Cupped white guards 
and yellow staminodes. This is a very choice variety. It closely resembles 
ISANI-GIDUI with the exception that the cluster of staminodes of 
HARVEST MOON are more compact. Blooms at the same time as 
ISANI-GIDUI. 
INSTITUTEUR DORIAT (Doriat, 1925) (8.85) Each $2.00 
M. J. Red. We consider this one of the very best Japanese types of 
Peonies. It is most interesting and worth while. Color a fine red, and 
each petal tip is tinted white, making a very novel effect as well as 
pleasing combination of color, 
ISANI-GIDUI (Origin unknown) (9.3) Each $5.00 
M. J. White. M.H. The most beautiful white Japanese Peony. Large. 
Two rows of petals of pure white with center of rich buff.

M. J. Pink. V.T. The orchid of Peonies. An exotic blending of shades 
of pink and yellow, rather difficult to adequately describe. A vigorous 
grower. Stock still rather limited.
