LIGHT PINK PEONIES (Continued) 
in flower arrangements. Flower of medium size held stiff and erect on wiry 
stems. A very lovely peony that appeals to all. Color holds well. $2.50 
Claude Barrow Jr. (Kelsey 1939) One of the largest and finest flowers in the garden. 
Double pink, informal shape. Very desirable. The above is Mr. Kelsey’s own 
description. A profuse bloomer. Long, very large, pointed buds. A show 
flower. $4.00 
Coral Isle (Kelsey 1939) Semi-double, late. Real coral color. Makes a striking color 
splash. Nothing like it in the garden. A real break in peony color. $3.00 
Cornelia Shaylor (Shaylor 1917) A late, large double type, high-built blooms 
with immense guards of pale rose and a collar of flesh white, with a slightly 
darker shade in the compact, roselike center. Slightly fragrant. $1.50 
Cornelia Stone (Gumm 1929) Double, mid-season. A charming light pink of 
splendid form. This variety not as well known as it should be. $3..00 
Donald (Kelsey 1936) Medium sized, medium pink fiower with long wiry stems. Fo- 
liage is light green. Petals are broad, outer petals incurved around a closely 
packed row of shorter petals. Faint tinge of yellow deep in the flower. Pleasant 
fragrance.. $2.00 
Dorothy J. (R. H. Jones 1937) Fully double, deeply built, globular flowers of large 
size. The guard petals give it its wonderful form. The color is a soft, even 
shade of delicate pink. This peony has maintained its high rank since intro- 
duction. Late mid-season bloomer. Delicate fragrance. $7.00 
Elizabeth Huntington (H. P. Sass 1930) An early double, loosely formed, pale 
pink with stamens showing. Tall and imposing. An exquisite flower appealing 
to the eye. $1.00 
Florence Macbeth (H. P. Sass 1924) Pale shell-pink, deepening toward the center. 
Very full double. Opens rather flat with shell-like outer petals, illuminated by 
a golden glow in the depth of the flower. Slightly fragrant. Moderately tall. 
Strong grower with good foliage. $1.00 
Flower Girl (Auten 1935) Very early, fully double, flesh pink gradually changing 
to white. As near perfection as we usually find and one that will make you 
stop in your tracks to admire. A real beauty. Dwarf grower with strong 
stems. 20 to 25 inches tall. $3.50 
Grace Kelsey (Kelsey 1935) Double, mid-season, a bewitching shade of pink that 
Mr. Kelsey says is almost identical with Mrs. Livingston Farrand. Flowers large, 
fragrant and hold color well. Huge size. Good stiff stems, holding the flower 
perfectly erect. Mr. Kelsey named this variety in honor of his wife and if it 
were not a good peony it would not have received that honor. $3.00 
Hansina Brand (Brand 1925) A lovely, glistening flesh pink with a salmon reflex 
shading toward the base of petals. This variety has been a consistent winner 
at national and local peony exhibitions and is most dependable, giving a splendid 
performance every year. A late bloomer, and it never fails to produce fine 
flowers. A “must have’ for any fine planting of peonies. Pleasing fragrance. 
$2.50 
Hans P. Sass (H. P. Sass 1939) A very large and late, rich satin, blush white, suf- 
fused shell pink. Center is illuminated with an inner glow that is outstanding. 
Refined and beautiful creation. Free, consistent bloomer, $2.50 
Harry L. Burden (Neeley 1930) A double, mid-season, light-rose pink that is 
much admired in our planting. Very good form with good strong stems, with 
the added inherent quality of being a free bloomer. $2.00
