LIGHT PINK PEONIES (Continued) 
years these markings are more prominent than others. Very fine form, good 
plant growth and does well in all sections of the country. To be found in most 
high-class exhibits competing with the best of them for supremacy in its par- 
ticular color class. No fine collection complete without it. $3.00 
Old Lace (Lins) Tall plants with long willowy stems, each crowned with a lovely 
bloom 8 inches across or larger. The flowers are fully double, rather flat, with 
long narrow petals. The color is a beautiful ivory flesh. Early mid-season. $5.00 
Ottawa (Kelsey 1935) A double, rich pink shading lighter at base of petals. High 
built crown. A very good variety, but little known. $2.00 
Pastel (Nicholls 1941) Here is a charming peony very aptly named. Color a fine 
salmon pink. $3.00 
Peach Blow (Shaylor 1938) A very early bloomer, semi-double in form. Rather 
dwarf, with a delicate peach pink color. Valuable, due to its extreme earliness 
and beauty of flower. $2.50 
Peggy (Auten 1931) A warm, bright silvery pink of medium size, with notched and 
crinkled petals. Stems are short and stiff. A very dwarf variety and one of 
the most charming for the landscape border. $1.50 
Phyllis Kelway (Kelway 1908) We have always admired this semi-double variety 
due to its daintiness and artistic makeup. Color is rose pink, paling to white in 
center. Hollow, cupped form at first showing many stamens, later developing 
a flat crown. Faintly fragrant. Medium height. Very fioriferous. $1.00 
Pink Charm (Kelsey 1936) Early, double, flesh-pink. The outer petals are long 
and broad, the inner ones are shorter, twisted and overlapping, producing a 
very charming effect. Fragrant. $2.00 
Rare Carving (Kelsey 1935) Loosely formed, medium pink, semi-double. Large 
yellow stamens. Tall, strong stems. $2.00 
Reine Hortense (Calot 1857) This variety remains one of the best commercials 
we grow. It is a lovely, tall mid-season rose-pink. Crisp, fluffy petals of trans- 
lucent texture, notched and silvered at the tips. There is an occasional fleck of
