9.1 MRS. ROMAINE B. WARE (A. M. Brand) 
A fragrant light pink coming into bloom midseason. The flower 
is medium large, rose type, with a delightful rose fragrance. The 
plant is medium tall with strong slender stems that hold the flowers 
well erect. 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.” A Brand Division ^2.00 
9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY (A. M. Brand) 
A beautiful late light pink that gradually fades to almost a pure 
white. The flower is perfect rose form with great broad, nicely 
rounded petals of wonderful substance. Tints of flesh and salmon 
show throughout the petals. The plant is of splendid growth and 
clean appearance. The stems are strong and hold the great flowers 
well above the foliage. This flower has the fragrance of a Tea Rose. 
Our Silver Medal variety. A Brand Division $3.00 
NICK SHAYLOR (Shaylor & Allison) 
In our estimation one of the very best of the newer Peonies. A 
beautiful rounded cup'shaped bloom with tremendously large, nicely 
rounded petals that overlap one another as the petals of a rose. The 
color is a deep pure flesh'pink with markings of a deeper, richer 
pink. We consider Nick Shaylor a top'notch variety.

9.0 NINA SECOR (Secor)

petals show a fine crimson edge. The flower is built high with a 
cupped rosebud center and resembles Kelway’s Glorious. The 
flowers are medium to large. The plant is tall, graceful, with light 
green foliage. The plant needs careful disbudding to bring the 
blooms to exhibition size. Midseason. A Brand Division $1.00

than any Waterlily we have ever seen. Very refined; a real addi' 
tion to our growing list of good Peonies. More semi'double than 
rose type. A Brand Division $1.00 
ODILE (Doriat) 
A fine, tall, late light pink that will attract your attention either in 
the field or the show room. It has much the same color as Touran^ 
gelle but the flower has more substance and the plant is more 
thrifty. A Brand Division $7.50 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA 
“Grandmother’s Piney.” This bright old'fashioned red should be 
in every garden because of its early blooming. As a rule we can 
always cut a few flowers for our Decoration Day trade. It comes 
into bloom just after Tenuifolia Flora Plena. It has a rich spicy 
fragrance. A Brand Division $1.00

One of the best of the yellow varieties. The guard petals are a 
creamy white, enclosing a central ball of sulphur'yellow. The 
flower is medium large, bomb type, and very fragrant. It comes 
into bloom midseason. If the flower is cut in the bud and de-

REV. H. TRAGITT (A. M. Brand) 
White. Very large, of true rose type. Great blooms of the most 
perfect form resemble large balls of snow. The dwarf plants with 
strong stems hold the great white blooms erect. Very sturdy, even 
growth. Planted in rows, they present a remarkable sight when in 
bloom. So profuse, the blooms cover the whole plant with a solid 
mass of white. Usually pure white, yet occasionally a faint trace of 
red shows on an inner petal. Globular in form; great broad, snow- 
white petals of great substance. This variety resembles Le Cygne 
but it is late while Le Cygne is early. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.8 RICHARD CARVEL (Brand) 
An early crimson parallel to the pink Mons. Jules Elie. With its 
extra early blooming qualities, large size, and splendid habits, this 
variety is already a well-established favorite. A single plant on the 
lawn is attractive and delightful, beautiful and lasting. A valuable 
cut flower. The odor is pleasant and pronounced, a very rare 
quality in the reds. A Brand Division $1.00

8.7 SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saundert) 
A beautiful little flower remindful of a semi-double wild prairie 
Rose. Blooms open out flat, slightly cupped. Around the edge is 
a double row of wide, rounded, rose-colored petals which in turn 
surround a central cluster of short stamens with delicate light green 
carpels, tipped bright pink. Delicately beautiful—a Peony master¬ 
piece. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.7 SOLANGE (Lemotn«) 
As to color this variety is hard to classify. The flower is made up 
of a suffusion of buff and pale salmon-pink shades. The flower is 
a perfect rose type. The coloring is beautiful and distinct but the 
flowers often fail to open. We recommend it for a large planting 
but not for a small ) ome garden. The years when it comes good 
it fully deserves ito r. ting. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Desert) 
Salmon-pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the 
base, turning to a salmon-pink. Resembles Walter Faxon in color 
but stands up much better in the field. A real treasure.
