old-rose-pink. The plant is very tall and comes into bloom late 
midseason. The flower is cupped rose type and often measures 
from 9 to 12 inches in diameter. The stems are strong and hold

At the National Show in Rochester, Minn., 1940, this variety was ; : : 
entered in a class calling for three blooms of one variety in me- _} 
dium or dark pink. There were 20 entries in this class. Martha be

Grand Champion flower of the entire show. 
9.0 MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) : nee 

A Walter-Faxon-pink coming into bloom early midseason. a oo . 
The flower resembles Phyllis Kelway and is one of the fine Ces i 
est of all Peonies for use in decorative work in making up ; 
large baskets or vases of flowers. A distinct band of golden 
stamens lights up the entire flower and these stamens en- 
close a rosebud, cup-shaped center of large incurving petals. 
Magnificent in the show room. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.2 MRS. J. H. NEELEY (Dr. J. H. Neeley) 
A late flowering blush-white shading to white with a green- 
ish reflex 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.

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.”

NOTE: If your order for Peonies should arrive too late to be | 

filled this spring, we shall be glad, with your permission, to hold Myrtle Gentry—Late 
it until fall and make shipment early in September. Won Silver Medal at National Peony Show held in St. Paul, 
Minnesota, 1923. Consistent prize-winner in many classes since. 
Walter Faxon—DMidseason 9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY (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. The flower 
has the fragrance of a Tea Rose. Our Silver Medal variety.

R. A. NAPIER (New) (A. M. Brand) 
This is a Peony we are especially proud of. After watching its per- 
formance over a long period in both seed beds and fields, we sent out the 
first roots in 1939. We have always thought a vase of perfectly de- 
veloped Tourangelle was about the last word in Peonies. In R. A. Napier 
we have a Peony of practically the same form and color, a Peony that 
might easily be mistaken for Tourangelle. But Tourangelle seldom 
comes good in Minnesota while R. A. Napier is good every year. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
8.7 REINE HORTENSE (Calot) 
A uniform hydrangea-pink, with guard and center petals marked crim- 
son. This is a variety that gives universal satisfaction and is both a show 
and garden variety. The plant is tall with long, stiff stems. The flowers 
are slightly fragrant. A midseason variety. 

A Brand Division $1.00 
ROY GODDARD (New) (A. M. Brand) 
A real Brand Peony right down to date. In 1937 we selected from our 
seedlings under trial a flower of exceptional merit and named it for Roy 
Goddard, Dean of the Junior High School of Rochester, Minnesota. 
This is a large flower of true rose type with many long, narrow petals 
radiating out into a great open flower after the type of Martha Bulloch. 
A creamy pink with color becoming very rich towards the center. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
9.1 SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert) 
Salmon-pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the base, 
turning to a salmon-pink. When this variety first opens it is a deeper 
pink than Walter Faxon, but within a few days the two resemble each 
other very much in color. A most satisfactory variety and one that 
always pleases. A Brand Division $1.50 
(Double varieties continued on next page.) 

A few varieties in our list are too new to have a rating. Note the high
