White Peonies
Snow Brook (Kelsey 1936). Double, flesh-white. A symmetrical dome of clean, neatly arranged petals. Slightly fragrant. It is big if you measure it in any way, particularly on height. Makes a spot in the garden that you will return to time and again.

White Peonies
River Mist (Kelsey 1936). Double. Medium sized ivory white. Edges of central petals marked with a fine wire edge of carmine. This marking, not like occasional splashes of red of Festiva Maxima is a circular pattern that is on all blooms. The wire edge is fine and is an intense red. Late, midseason. Fragrant. Tall. Those who like the red on white will be delighted with this variety.

Resembles Minnie Shaylor in general makeup.

White Peonies
Mother's Day (Kelsey 1936). Double, mid-season, very tall, clear white. This is an exceptionally fine peony and we are sure it will go places. The blooms we saw of it in the originator's garden prompted us to term it a glorified Elsa Sass, if such a comparison is possible.
