MRS. EUCLID SNOW 
Flesh-pink, Plant of medium height, holding its blooms erect and 
well above clean light green foliage. Flowers open into a large 
cup-shaped bloom. Petals broad, long, and nicely notched at the 
ends. Color a deep flesh-pink with rays of deeper pink through the 
petals. A very attractive flower coming into bloom early mid- 
season. A Brand Division $5.00 
MRS. FRANK BEACH (A. M. Brand) 
A deep ivory-white coming into bloom late in the season. The 
flower is large, flat, perfect rose type with long, narrow, laciniated 
petals of the same lacy effect as in Jubilee. Mrs. Frank Beach is a 
glorified Jubilee but is not handicapped by a weak stem. This 
variety develops a flower true to type on a yearling plant. The 
blooms. are profuse and sweetly fragrant. One of the best of all 
white Peonies. A Brand Division $3.00 
MRS. HARRIET GENTRY (A. M. Brand) 
A very late perfect rose type white. Petals are very large, of the 
purest glistening white. Deep in the center of the flower you will 
find a touch of that peculiar pinkish tint for which Solange is 
famous. This is one of our latest white Peonies to bloom and is 
one of the most refined flowers in this list.

MRS. J. H. NEELEY (Dr. J. H. Neeley) 
A late flowering blush-white shading to white with a greenish re- 
flex at the base of petals. Center petals enlivened with yellowish 
pink or salmon tones that are attractively different. A new variety 
that seems destined to earn a place among the truly great Peonies. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A, M. Brand) 
A tall, very late deep pink with exceedingly strong heavy stems 
and large deep green foliage. The petals are long, broad, pointed, 
and of great substance. A fragrant flower of true rose type. When 
you think the Peony season is over Mrs. John M. Kleitsch comes 
along to top off the season. Too late to appear in many shows, 
but won first prize as the best flower in the entire show at St. Paul 
in 1928. A Brand Division $2.50 
MRS. J. V. EDLUND (J. V. Edlund) 
This is a large pure white flower of most perfect form. In voting off 
the tie with Hansina Brand at the Toronto National Show, this 
flower was awarded best flower in the show. It is a late, large pure 
white that is in bloom with Blanche King, Genevieve, Mrs. A. M. 
pee and Mrs. Frank Beach. It is one of the very finest of all 
eonies.

(Nicholls) 
The most talked of new Peony in many years. This is because of 
its beautiful color. It is the pink everyone likes. It is a deeper 
shade than Walter Faxon and retains its color in the full sun much 
better. The flower is rather high and loosely built. The stock of 
this variety is scarce and our supply is limited. 
A Brand Division $15.00 
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 
NICK SHAYLOR (Shaylor & Allison) 
In our estimation one of the very best of the newer Peonies. 
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.

“Tf I was limited to one Peony I would, without hesitation, pick 
Myrtle Gentry. I have grown the variety since 1928 and in all the 
twelve blooming seasons I have vet to find even one serious fault with 
this variety. 
“The roots are always clean. The plant grows a fine green; stays 
green all season clear up to frost, and this one fact makes it a good 
grower. It has always been free from disease for me. It has been very 
consistent as a bloomer and blooms every year and every plant blooms. 
“The color is one of those melting pinks that can’t be beat. It fades 
a little in the sun, but after it fades it is still as pretty as it was before. 
“After you see the root; plant it and see it grow so well; bloom into 
as fine a flower as it does, then just smell it—and it will finish your 
opinion of it as being one of the best. 
“The fragrance is wonderful, and to sum up the variety, I vote it 
the most desirable in all the four hundred named and two hundred 
and fifty numbered seedlings that are growing in my planting. 
“To me, Myrtle Gentry is Mr. Brand’s masterpiece and if he had 
produced no other variety, he could certainly be proud of his work.” 

9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY 
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. The flower 
has the fragrance of a Tea

“Of all the fine Peonies 
in my garden—and there are 
well over 100 varieties—I be- 
lieve I really get more sat- 
from MYRTLE 
GENTRY than from any 
other. Its exquisite beauty, 
combined with its regular 
dependability both as a gar- 
den subject and a cut flower, 
leave little to be desired.”

“There is one thing that 
I have wanted to tell you 
folks for quite a while and just never did. I think that 
Myrtle Gentry is one of the three best, if not the best 
Peony that I have ever grown or that it has been my 
privilege to see. If I were limited to just two varieties 
of Peonies, one of them would be Myrtle Gentry. It
