PINK PEONIES—Continued 
8.8 LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm) 
Late midseason. A new flower of outstanding qualities, good enough to 
be repeatedly singled out from hundreds of varieties in the field. Very 
large, globular in form, rose type, with great broad petals, and a cupped 
center. Color uniform apple-blossom-pink with more brilliant shadings at 
the base of the petals. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 LOVELINESS <Hollis) 
Very late. Produces very large, flat hydrangea-pink flowers; blooms of 
wonderful beauty. It is Hollis' best Peony. Plants tall with heavy foliage 
and stems strong enough to hold the immense blooms erect. The flowers, 
a uniform shade of pink, make wonderful show flowers. 
8.7 LUETTA PFEIFFER I Brand) 
Very large, semi-double, pinkish white. Foliage, large and clean; stems 
long and stout. Immense blooms are produced in great profusion. Petals 
are long, broad, of great substance; a pure hydrangea pink interspersed 
with golden stamens and some splashes of red. Blooms early. 
9.0 MABEL L. FRANKLIN (Franklin) 
Outer petals a light pink with extreme center petals a darker pink. Short, 
creamy petals are intermingled near the crown of the flower, adding 
greatly to its beauty. Light margin of lavender on the inner petals. De¬ 
lightfully fragrant. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.7 MADELON (Dessert) 
A beautiful silvery pink, among the latest of Dessert's originations. Pet¬ 
als imbricated and slightly touched with carmine. A splendid late va¬ 
riety. A new Peony from France carrying that peculiar charm always to 
be found in the Dessert selections A Brand Division $1.50 
8.9 MARIE CROUSSE (Crousse) 
A very attractive flower. Color very delicate shell-pink bordering on sal¬ 
mon; stiff, upright stems. Fragrant. Midseason to late. A splendid va¬ 
riety, distinct in color from any other pink you may have. A most desir¬ 
able sort for distant effect. Such a clear pure self color—it attracts the 
eye, even when blooming among a hundred different pinks. 
Mrs. John M. Kleitsch, Pink 
9.1 MARTHA BULLOCH < Brand) 
Very tall, very large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. We must 
judge Peonies not alone by individual taste but by performance over a 
long period. The great Peonies receive the awards at the large shows. 
The Northwest Peony Show is staged alternate years in St. Paul and 
Minneapolis. Outside of the National Show, it is the largest Peony Show 
in America, taken year after year. Here Peonies of all varieties are shown 
at their best by expert showmen. The class that brings out the best flow¬ 
ers is the class that calls for ten vases, one each of ten varieties, three 
blooms to a vase. Into this class go the ten best vases of each exhibitor. 
Martha Bulloch is almost invariably in the exhibit that wins first. Bright 
old-rose-pink; center of lighter rose, and pink. Roselike fragrance. Tall, 
straight stems. Immense blooms. The most beautiful Peony of its size. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
9.0 MILTON HILL < Richardson) 
A very beautiful flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resembling 
Walter Faxon. Seen in the sh6w room in first class form, this variety is 
impossible to beat in its color. It received a rating of 9.0 with sixty-three 
voting. This is absolutely one of the finest of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
9.1 MRS. ROMAINE B. WARE <A. M. Brand) 
This variety was selected from the seed bed because of its striking beauty 
of form. True rosebud effect in the center, the petals radiating in peculiar 
fashion to give a pleasing effect to the entire bloom. Returning from the 
National Show at Boston, I stopped with my good friend Harry F. Little. 
Mrs. Romaine B. Ware was in full bloom. Of this wonderful flower Mr. 
Little said, "I think this one of the daintiest of all Peonies in its perfect 
beauty." Exquisitely delicate; medium size; rose type. Medium height 
plant; profuse bloomer; midseason. Fragrant. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.9 MODELLA < Betscher) 
A fine plant of medium height, with nice clean foliage, flowers large, of a 
light pink with a creamy suffusion in the collar. Late midseason. A large 
flower of most perfect and pleasing form. One of the real good new sorts. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
9.3 MONS. JULES ELIE (Crousse) 
One of the largest, most beautiful Peonies; in fact, the largest of the 
globe type varieties. An immense self-colored flesh-pink, shading a trifle 
deeper toward the base of petals. Great prominent broad guard petals 
enclose an immense ball of incurved narrow petals of the same color, all 
covered with an intense silvery sheen. 
9.4 MME. JULES DESSERT (Dessert) 
One of the finest of all Peonies—flowers very large, well formed, with 
long broad petals. Blooms held rigidly erect on good straight stems of 
medium height. Color a creamy white, lighted with buff and salmon 
shades. A few golden stamens appear to beautify an already beautiful 
flower. Always among the main prize winners at the great shows. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. Pink. Large and peculiarly beautiful in formation. 
The broad guards and half of the petals turn outward, gracefully down¬ 
ward, then up. Next is a distinct band of golden stamens as in Phyllis 
Kelway. Lighting up the entire flower, these stamens enclose a rosebud, 
cup-shaped center of large incurving petals. Color a Walter Faxon pink. 
Magnificent in the show room. One of the finest of all Peonies for use in 
decorative work such as the making up of large vases, etc. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
MRS. J. H. NEELEY (Dr. J. H. Neeley) 
Here is a new Peony which has not been rated that we think is one of the 
outstanding new Peonies of today, so good that we rate it among the very 
best. The flower resembles Solange very much both in color and in form. 
But the plant is far better than that of Solange, being strong, thrifty, 
and clean foliaged. A vast improvement over Solange. 
A Brand Division $10.00 
9.0 MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A. M. Brand) 
A tall, late pink with exceedingly strong heavy stems and large deep 
green foliage. Color violet-rose with a distinct lavender cast. Petals long, 
broad, pointed and of great substance. A very late fragrant flower of 
true rose type. First prize as best flower in entire show at St. Paul, 1928. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY <A. M. Brand) 
A plant of splendid growth and clean appearance holds the beautiful great 
flower erect and well above the foliage. Immense flowers of perfect rose 
form with great broad, nicely rounded petals of wonderful substance. 
Color, beautiful pink with tints of flesh and salmon. While all of these 
new Peonies have a pleasing odor, this one is the sweetest; the fragrance 
of a Tea Rose Awarded Silver Medal at St. Paul Show in 1923. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
8.9 NANCY DOLMAN (Varies) 
A tall, late pale rose-pink, of conical form and great size. A new flower 
that we have tried out over a sufficient time to be safe in pronouncing 
it a real good flower. A Brand Division $3.00 
OFFICINALIS ROSEA 
This Peony is the same type Peony as Officinalis Rubra but differs 
from it in color. Where Rubra is a deep red this is a deep pink.
