WHITE PEONIES 
A. B. C. Nicholls (Nicholls 1937) A lovely, double, late white, with a hint of pink 
and a decided orange glow at the base of petals. $2.00 
A. B. Franklin (Franklin 1928) A very light blush when first opening, changing to 
white. A very lovely flower of beautiful form. $2.50 
Alsace Lorraine (Lemoine 1906) Large, double, pure white, tinted with cream and 
buff. Late midseason. The petals have a wavy texture, and they are very sym- 
metrically arranged in circular form. Very attractive, and makes a splendid 
landscape subject. $1.50 
Ave Maria (Van Steen 1936) Double, early midseason. Blush changing to white 
with occasional red markings. Strong stems. Very good. $5.00 
Baroness Schroeder (Kelway 1889) A double white tinted flesh pink. This pink 
will disappear as flower opens leaving it a pure white. Tall, strong stems and 
one of the best cut flowers we have. $1.00 
Betty Blossom (Thurlow 1925) A large, double, late mid-season variety, globular 
with white guard petals, faintly tinted yellow and sometimes flecked on the back. 
The distinct collar of narrow petals heavily edged gold and a tuft of yellow 
staminodes of clear yellow at the extreme center, produces a charming and dis- 
tinct yellow and white effect. $1.00 
Charlene (Kelsey 1942) Double, mid-season, ivory-white bloom with cup-shaped 
center that resembles the cup of the night-blooming Cereus. Strong, sturdy stems 
and good foliage add to the excellence of this plant. Medium height. Flowers are 
large and hold up well. $3.00 
E. F. Kelsey (Kelsey 1936) Mid-season. Very large. A fully double white, with fine, 
strong stems. Extra fine quality bloom. Mr. Kelsey thought enough of this 
variety to let it bear his name. $3.00 
Elsa Sass (H. P. Sass 1930) A Gold Medal variety very worthy of the distinc- 
tion. Full double, rather dwarf growing. A lovely white, veiled pink. Stems 
are stiff and strong, holding the beautiful large blooms erect under all condi- 
tions. A true rose form. Does well everywhere and is an outstanding favorite 
with all who grow it and a consistent winner at shows. Possesses a texture 
like velvet and shows remarkable class. Mild, pleasing fragrance. $3.50 
Festiva Maxima (Miellez 1851) The old reliable white. A massive, early double 
white with crimson markings. This variety was originated over 100 years ago, 
but its sterling qualities in habit of growth and blooming make it most 
desirable. Very tall. $1.00 
Florence Nicholls (Nicholls 1938) Late midseason white, shading to flesh pink 
towards center of bloom. Texture and quality of the petals are superb, giving 
the bloom its long lasting quality. Habit of growth is excellent. The stiff 
stems hold the lovely flowers rigidly erect. One of the finest peonies. $3.00 
Footlights (Kelsey 1938) A large, double Mons. Jules Elie type. Broad, pure white, 
outer petals surrounding a closely packed ball of narrow, overlapping and en- 
twined petals, enlivened by a golden glow that shines through from the depths. 
Total effect, a soft golden glow. Excellent. $2.50 
Frances Willard (Brand 1907) Double, large, midseason. Opens a very pale pink, 
changing to white, with a yellow suffusion in collar. Shows faint red lines on 
edge of some center petals. Mildly fragrant. Heavy dark foliage. $1.00 
Frankie Curtis (Vories 1924) Flowers full, double, opening a faint pink fading to 
white. Guards broad and evenly rounded, surrounding a high, globular, chrysan- 
themum-like center of incurved petals. Free flowering. Heavy dark green 
foliage. Rather dwarf. $2.00
