Werlds Best Peanies 
BUT NONE ANY BETTER 
SHALL WE SUBSTITUTE? 
Our stock of some varieties on these two pages is extremely limited. 
If you already have Ruth Elizabeth, or if our stock becomes exhausted, 
we would be willing to substitute W. E. Blanchette, with your per- 
mission. 
For Hansina Brand, we could substitute either R. A. Napier or T. E. 
Carpenter. 
For Blanche King or Dr. L. W. Pollock, Joanne Foreman would make 
an excellent substitute. 

DR. L. W. POLLOCK 
Late. A fine old rose-pink that will take its place among the 
prizewinners as it becomes better known. 

MRS. A. M. BRAND 
Late. Won Gold Medal at National Peony Show held in St. Paul, Min- 
nesota, 1923. Judged best flower in National Show in Minneapolis, 1943. 
BLANCHE KING >» 
This variety was first exhibited at the National Peony Show held in 
London, Ont., Canada, in 1922. Here it received an award of merit and 
attracted a great deal of attention. At the St. Paul Show in 19395, this 
variety was very much in evidence and was awarded the prize for the best 
flower at the show. It also won first in a class calling for 20 dark pinks. 
At the 1940 National Show held at Rochester, Minnesota, Blanche King 
appeared in 6 classes winning first prizes, in 5 winning second prizes, and 
in 3 winning third prizes. 
At the 1941 National Show held in Syracuse, New York, an 8-inch bloom 
of this variety was judged the finest flower in the entire show. 

From Article written by Victoria Gordon Kartack, Dec. 1945, 
Peony Bulletin. 
“It is always a pleasure to see Hansina Brand and Myrtle Gentry. No 
matter what the future may bring in the way of new Peonies, I can never 
imagine either of them losing their popularity.”
