MARIETTA SISSON (Sass) 
I am not anxious to sell a single root or even a single 
division of this variety this year. I believe this variety 
gained its first prominence by winning a $100 prize 
in the National Peony Show of 1922 or 1923. I was 
in Europe in 1922 and unfortunately in 1923 my 
business affairs kept me at home, consequently I did 
not get acquainted with Peony Marietta Sisson until 
1935 or 1936, and my first glance told me it was a 
variety of outstanding merit. I intend to use it as a 
gratis variety this season, and if you are prejudiced 
against it or if you have it already growing in your 
garden tell me not to use it as a gratis root with 
your order. 
MARTHA BULLOCH (Brand)—9.1 
This is a very, very large pink double peony which 
is very much sought after. Its color and size are 
excellent, but unless some of the side buds are re¬ 
moved the stems will not be strong enough to carry 
all the extra weight. This variety was placed in the 
Court of Honor at the Rochester Peony Show be¬ 
cause it was judged the best flower in the show. 
I am glad indeed that I can furnish it in small 
divisions.

MARVEL (Secor)—9.0 
An excellent medium pink bloom on strong stems 
which have few laterals. The plant is erect, the 
color beautiful and this variety has value for win¬ 
ning prizes and for decorating a landscape. I believe 
this variety held its blooms through a longer season 
than any other full double variety. I have only a 
small stock of it and I hope if you order it that you 
will report the number of days it remains in bloom 
for you. If it has a two-day longer bloom season than 
any other variety, it will be very much in demand.

MARY BRAND (Brand)—8.7 
One of the purest red varieties nearly equal to 
Longfellow in color. The laterals bloom with the 
main buds. It is a vigorous variety and a good 
seller.

MATCHLESS BEAUTY (Neeley) 
Next to Mrs. J. H. Neely and Liberty Bell this variety 
is considered by some of our Northwestern Ohio 
peony enthusiasts to be the best Neeley variety. A 
cream white double peony with good quality petals 
and good stems. It has landscape value and the 
blooms are excellent for indoor decoration.
