Lillian Gumm (Gumm 1921) 8.95 Fully double, Large, midseason, fluffy flower of 
medium rose-pink. Attains a large size. Outer petals are very large and ruffled, 
set edgewise to accommodate the great number of overcrowded center petals. 
Center petals arranged in whorls. Base of the petals show a chamois shade. 
Tall, vigorous grower, with most pleasing fragrance. Stems strong, and stiff. 
One of Mr. Gumm’s good originations. $1.00 
Martha Bulloch (Brand 1907) 9.1 Martha has attained the age of nearly forty years 
gears, but still maintains her girlish freshness and charm. We have seen blooms 
that. actually measured 12 inches in diameter. We pride ourselves on having been 
endowed with some very keen olfactory nerves and have no hesitancy in pro- 
nouncing this variety as possessing a most delightful and pleasing rose fragrance 
that calls for a repeated sniff. The color is a bright old-rose pink. The plant 
is tall and the stems never fail to hold the immense and stately blooms erect 
under all conditions. Not a very rapid propagator and for that reason stock is 
not too plentiful. One of Mr. Brand’s fine contributions to peony lovers and 
one that has brought him in a substantial remuneration for his efforts. 
$1.50 
Mme. Emile Debatene (Dessert-Doriat 1927) 8.85 A very fine, deep pink peony 
blooming in mid-season. Flower very artistically built and attains a large size. 
Fine, healthy foliage and good growing habit, making it a most desirable ac- 
quisition. You will find this in the show room with the very “top notchers”’ 
in its class. | 7 $3.00 
Mons. Jules Elie (Crousse 1888) 9.2 This peony is well known and extensively 
grown for the commercial market. Has proved a most satisfactory introduction 
and for nearly 60 years has been a source of real satisfaction to peony growers 
throughout the land. To the novice amateur, or professional alike, it always 
delights and behaves most exemplary. Full double type, very large and very 
early. Light rose-pink. Broad, smooth guard petals. Center incurved and 
silvered with light-grayish pink. Very tall and free flowering. 
$1.00 
Mrs. John M. Kleitsch (Brand 1925) 9.0 A tall, stately, deep pink that comes very 
late in the season. Due to this fact, it is better suited for locations where the 
June sun does not get too torrid. The petals are long, broad and pointed and 
of exceptional substance. Full rose type and pleasingly fragrant. It brightens 
up the garden after most of our favorites have thrown off their decorative and 
colorful robes for the season, $2.50 
President F. D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 8.85 A full double, late, tall, deep pink 
variety that is taking its place among the elite in peonydom. We find this a 
splendid, sturdy grower, and flowers are borne on strong, stiff stems. Foliage a 
dark green. A variety you will admire in your garden. $3.00 
Rosalie (Auten 1927) 8.78 Here is a little gem for your garden that can occupy a 
space where a tall-growing variety would not be satisfactory. As the name 
implies, it has the appearance of a large rose. Has some stamens, but they are 
well hidden in the depth of the bloom. Full double, medium-sized bloom. 
Clear, rose color, $2.50 
Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine 1906) 9.0 A double, late-midseason variety that is much 
/ in demand as a florists’ variety. The dark rose-pink color, with petals edged a 
trifle lighter, gives an attractive appearance. Was originated in 1906, but still 
is a very popular variety, as it carries in storage very well. Also will be found 
in large collections on the show table competing with more recent originations.
