"A List of Mr. Kelsey's Originations" By W. F. Christman
Light Pink Peonies
Laura Kelsey (Kelsey 1941). This variety was formerly named Myrna Hess and is one of Mr. Kelsey's finest introductions. Mr. Karrels rates it a couple of points higher than Marilla Beauty but I am inclined to think that he will either raise his rating on Marilla Beauty or reduce it slightly on Laura Kelsey. Then too, after I make a more careful comparison, I may change my view. They are very fine originations that any originator could be proud of.
Fully double, midseason, long pointed buds that open out large, fluffy, delicate light pink flowers, fading lighter with ivory tints at base of petals, some tipped and others splashed with crimson. Blooms simply immense, 7½ to 8 inches in diameter. A very charming flower with strong stems.
