Lady Alexandra Duff (Kelway 1902) 9.1 A lovely creation, much admired in any | 
planting. To get very satisfactory results, do not disbud too generously, as the 
lateral buds will greatly prolong the season of bloom. Of course, if they. are 
desired for show purposes, they must be disbudded. Blooms are borne in 
clusters, and with smaller, saucer shaped side flowers. Stems strong; foliage 
abundant. Very artistic. $1.25 
Mrs. Livingston Farrand (Nicholls 1935) 9.36 We consider this one of the most out-. 
standing originations, as far as color is concerned, that has been introduced 
in many years. A double, late-midseason variety. Large, well formed flowers 
of the purest pink yet seen in Chinensis peonies. A really sensational flower 
that is outstanding in the showroom or home garden. If Col. Nicholls had only 
originated this one variety, he would have left to posterity a living monument 
to his genius. Very fortunately, he has brought out several equally outstanding 
creations, some of which we are offering you in our list, and others will appear 
when available in some quantity. $15.00 
Myrtle Gentry (Brand 1925) 9.06 A beautiful, late, light pink that fades to nearly 
pure white with age. We consider this one of Mr. Brand’s finest creations. 
Gives a splendid account of itself wherever grown. Delightful tea rose fragrance 
that is entrancing. A perfect rose form flower, with great, broad, nicely rounded 
petals of wonderful substance. Tints of flesh and salmon show throughout the 
petals. Splendid grower with heavy foliage. The foliage is a rich, dark green 
and exceedingly attractive. This variety has instant appeal and allure and is 
much in demand. Dependable and satisfactory in every way. As near an ideal 
creation as one would wish. $3.00 
Nancy Nicholls (Nicholls 1941) A new introduction, not yet rated, but we feel con- 
fident that it will be well up in the 90’s. A double, late-midseason, rather tall 
grower. Has large, wide, blush-white petals fading to white on edges. A 
flower of great appeal and one of the several fine ones that Col. Nicholls has 
produced. A very refined and distinctly beautiful production, the petals having 
heavy texture and placement. $5.00 
Nick Shaylor (Shaylor 1931) 9.35 A most outstanding beauty and one much sought 
after. Double, late, blush or light pink, with occasional red markings. Some 
years these markings are more prominent than others, indicating weather con- 
ditions influence this characteristic. Very fine form, good plant growth and 
does well in all sections of the country. To be found in most high-class exhibits 
competing with the best of them for supremacy in its particular color class. 
No fine collection complete without it. $5.00 
Peggy (Auten 1931) Double, early dwarf. Bright silvery pink. Petals notched and 
crinkled. No rating as yet. $1.25 
Phoebe Cary (Brand 1907) 8.8 A very late, pale, old-rose pink, darkening toward 
the center of bloom. The plant is very tall with strong stems and good, light 
foliage. Rose type, slightly cupped with large broad petals. Delightfully 
fragrant. Always opens well. , . $1.00 
Phyllis Kelway (Kelway 1908) 9.0 We have always admired this semi-double variety 
due to its daintiness and artistic makeup. Color is rose pink, paling to white in 
center. Hollow, cupped form at first showing many stamens, later developing 
a fiat crown which covers the imperfect collar. Faintly fragrant. Medium 
height. Very floriferous. | : $1.25 
President Wilson (Thurlow 1918) 9.3 Double. Very late and large. Bright rose- 
pink, paling with age; a trifle darker in the deep, cupped center. Possesses a 
rich, spicy fragrance. Medium height, floriferous, strong stems and good foliage. 
$1.50
