semble the beautiful lotus and are held erect on good strong stems. $4.00

LIGHT PINK JAPANESE PEONIES 
Akashigata A lovely rose Japanese type flower with a lovely center of light pink. 
Filamental petals bordered with gold. $2.00 
Kate Barry (Nicholls 1938) A late, mid-season soft mauve pink of a most pleasing 
shade, with golden staminodes. Most lovely color combination. Grows quite tall 
and the flowers are held erect on good stems. $2.00 
Kathalo (Kelsey 1934) The orchid of peonies. An exotic blending of shades of 
pink and yellow, rather difficult to adequately describe. A vigorous grower. 
Very tall. $2.00 
Neon (Nicholls 1941) A mid-season variety with large, wide rose-pink guards. 
Staminodes rose, tipped and edged gold. Very bright and interesting. $2.50

are soft creamy rose with good substance. A full center of brilliant red stam- 
inodes gave it its name. $2.00 
Vista (Kelsey 1940) Mid-season. Pink guard petals with fine yellow staminodes in 
center. Very large bloom. In Mr. Kelsey’s notes we find the following: “Better 
than Ama-no-sode.” Rather dwarf grower. $2.50 
Westerner (Bigger 1942) Here is a grand origination. Japanese type, mid-season. 
The guard petals are very large of a beautiful shade of light pink. The center 
is filled with yellow staminodes that are extremely firm and erect. The com- 
bination of yellow and pink is most pleasing. The real charm of this variety 
lies in the cup-shaped form of the flower and the sturdy, recurved petals so 
gracefully poised and held so rigidly erect. $4.00 
DARK PINK JAPANESE PEONIES 
Filagree (Kelsey 1936) Large rose-pink. Staminodes straw color. A very striking

the petals. Something off the beaten path. $3.00 
Gold Mine (Hollis 1907) Medium size, mid-season. Dark rose-pink of irregular 
cupped form. Center of narrow, whitish petaloids stained light pink and tipped 
with yellow. Carpels ruddy green, with pink tips. This variety holds unusually 
well when cut.. Very free bloomer. $1.25 
Iwo (Nicholls 1946) Guard petals rose pink, staminodes yellow suffused pink. An 
interesting Japanese type that is admired by all who see it. $2.00 
Kagawa (Kelsey 1936) Guard petals are dark rose pink, surrounding a ring of yel- 
low staminodes, edged rose, which are also intermingled and twisted with over- 
lapping larger petals of lighter pink. Early mid-season, medium sized bloom. 
The unusual formation of petals makes this one really unique. $2.00

crinkled petaloids. Late. $2.00
