GENTRY 
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 
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

Myrtle Gentry 
(Vories) 
A tall, late, pale rose-pink, of conical form and great size. The 
plant is tall, robust, floriferous, with stiff stems and good foliage. 
A good late variety that needs disbudding to produce perfect 
blooms. A Brand Division $2.50 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA ' 
That large brilliant red Peony so often seen as a favorite in old 
gardens. In latitude of southern Minnesota it generally blooms by 
Decoration Day. It does not begin to fade until just before the 
main crop of other Peonies appears. Officinalis Rubra is always in 
bloom here June Ist or before. A Brand Division $1.00 
NANETTE (Doriat) 
A loosely built pale or flesh-pink, fading to white in the sun. We 
like this flower very much as it is a pretty flower and always a 
splendid bloomer. When it has faded to white, it is a beautiful 
white Phyllis Kelway. A Brand Division $1.50 
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. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
NINA SECOR (Secor) 
An absolutely pure white of true rose-type. A few of the central 
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 
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. 
PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Riviere) 
A very bright rich crimson coming into bloom late midseason. 
The beautiful form of this flower and its uniform soft rich color 
make it a flower loved by all who see it. This is a fine show flower 
and is absolutely void of stamens. It has a pleasing fragrance and 
is the highest rated of any red Peony. A Brand Division $2.50 
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. A fine late pink, remarkable both as a show 
flower and landscape variety. The flowers are large and of a rather 
uniform lavender-pink. The blooms are carried well above the 
foliage on strong stiff stems. The prominent guard petals stand 
out from the rest of the flower. A Brand Division $3.00 
PRIMEVERE (Lemoine) 
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- 
veloped inside, you get the true color. A Brand Division $1.50

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

SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saunders) 
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 
SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert) 
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. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
SUSAN WHITE (New) (A. M. Brand) 
A pure early midseason white of very fine form and large size. 
Plant tall and luxuriant with dark green foliage. Individual blooms 
very large. Very long and narrow petals form a great compact 
dome-shaped center with large guards drooping gracefully away 
from it. Pure white, tinted heavily cream, with green showing at 
base of petals. Golden stamens add to the beauty of this fine white. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert) 
A delicate pearly white, suffused with shades of delicate salmon 
and La-France-rose. The flower is rose type and comes into bloom 
late in the season. The plant has a weak stem but the coloring of 
the flower is so unusual that it is admired by all who see it. 
; A Brand Division $1.00 
VICTORY CHATEAU THIERRY (A. M. Brand) 
A clear bright pink, gradually fading to a lighter pink. The flower 
is large, with immense, broad, evenly arranged, rounded petals of 
great substance. The plant is of medium height with very strong 
stems that hold the large, cup-shaped blossoms well erect. We con- 
sider this one of our very best originations but the plant comes into 
bloom so early that you seldom see the flower in the show room.

We have been growing this peony now for some 10 or more years, - 
and do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the very finest of all 
white peonies. The flower is a large pure white with large guard 
petals enclosing a deep closely packed center of beautiful petals, 
all forming as nicely a shaped flower as‘we have ever seen. The 
plant is good, the form of the flower is superb, and the color is 
fine. One of our best pure whites. A Brand. Division $7.50
