9.3 MONS. JULES ELIE (Crousse) 
An immense self-colored flesh-pink, shading a trifle deeper toward 
the base of petals. Great prominent broad guard petals enclose an 
immense ball of incurved petals of the same color, all covered with 
an intense silvery sheen. It looks more like a huge Chrysanthemum 
than a Peony. The plant is medium tall with strong stems. An 
early bloomer with pleasing fragrance. See color page 45. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
8.8 MONS. MARTIN CAHUZAC (Dessert) 
If you wish the darkest red Peony grown, order this one. Flowers 
medium to large, semi-rose type, with stamens. Color a deep 
maroon-red. It often comes semi-double until plants are well estab- 
lished. The plant is medium tall with strong, sturdy, upright 
stems. It comes into bloom early midseason and is a striking land- 
scape variety. A Brand Division $1.50

9.0 MRS. BRYCE FONTAINE (A. M. Brand) 
A midseason, rich dark crimson. It is darker than Longfellow 
but not the color of Mons. Martin Cahuzac. It is a flower of 
wonderful substance and holds up well after being cut and for 
this reason it makes a fine garden and show flower. Although 
this variety is listed as new and few roots have beén sold, we 
have watched it year aftet year for over 16 years and we are 
willing to place it among the very best reds. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
9.0 MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) 
A Walter-Faxon-pink coming into bloom early midseason. The 
flower resembles Phyllis Kelway and is one of the finest 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 enclose a rosebud, cup-shaped cen- 
ter of large incurving petals. Magnificent in the show room. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
MRS, EUCLID SNOW (A. M. Brand) 
A very attractive deep flesh-pink with rays of deeper pink through- 
out the petals. Flowers open into large, cup-shaped blooms with 
long, broad petals that are nicely notched at the ends. An early 
midseason variety of medium height with strong stems that hold 
the blooms erect and well above the clean, light green foliage. A 
variety that we have been unable to offer yearly as our stock is 
extremely scarce. A Brand Division $7.50 
MRS. FRANK BEACH (A. M. Brand) 
A deep ivory-white coming into bloom late in the season. The 
flower is large, flat, perfect rose type with long, narrow, 
laciniated petals of the same lacy effect as in Jubilee. Mrs. Frank 
Beach is a glorified Jubilee but is not handicapped by a weak 
stem. This variety develops a flower true to type on a yearling 
plant. The blooms are profuse and sweetly fragrant. One of 
the best of all white Peonies. See color page 41.

“Taking everything into consideration, I believe the best white Peony 
in my experience is Mrs. Frank Beach. I'll admit there are some larger 
and taller, but none of them do better for me in all respects at the 
same time. I believe it is one of the best-keeping white Peonies that I 
have ever grown. The whites do not take cold storage very well. Mrs. 
Frank Beach seems to be an exception. In Lincoln at the National Peony 
Show in 1937. when the show was taken down on Sunday evening, 
every bloom of Mrs. Frank Beach that I had there was still good.” 

9.2 MRS. J. H. NEELEY (Dr. J. H. Neeley) 
A late flowering blush-white shading to white with a greenish re- 
flex 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.

MRS, J. V. EDLUND (J. V. Edlund) 
This is a large pure white flower of most perfect form. In voting 
off the tie with Hansina Brand at the Toronto National Show, this 
flower was awarded best flower in the show. It is a late, large pure 
white that is in bloom with Blanche King, Genevieve; Mrs. A. M. 
Brand, and Mrs. Frank Beach. It is one of the very finest of all 
Peonies. ; A Brand Division $5.00 
MRS. LIVINGSTONE FARRAND (Nicholls) 
The most talked of new Peony in many years. This is because of 
its beautiful color. It is the pink everyone likes. It is a deeper 
shade than Walter Faxon and retains its color in the full sun much 
better. The flower is rather high and loosely built. The stock of 
this variety is scarce and our supply is limited.

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.” A Brand Division $2.00 

MRS. ROWLAND _ (Brand) 
We need new shades and colors in Peonies and this new introduc 
tion of ours is distinctly different from all others. In color it is a 
peculiar shade of a deep rich red-purple. The flower is rose type 
with large, beautifully arranged petals. We named this Peony 
for a pioneer Minnesota woman who went through the terrible 
days of the Indian Massacre at New Ulm, Minnesota. If you are 
looking for something entirely different, you will find it in this 
new variety. A Brand Division $7.50

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. Has the fragrance of a Tea Rose. Our Silver 
Medal variety. See color page 36.

Oma. lame emenimbe 
Peonies in my garden— 
and there are well over 
J00 varieties—I believe 
I really get more satis- 
faction from MY RTLE GENTRY than from any other. Its exquisite beau- 
ty, combined with its regular dependability both as a garden subject and 
a cut flower, leave little to be desired.” Topeka, Kan., Aug. 7., 1941 
“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 has never failed me to date.” 
8.9 NANCY DOLMAN (Vories) 
A distinctive rose-pink of conical form and of great size. Although 
a very late variety, it seems to open as wel! in the South as in the 
North. The plant is very tall, with strong, heavy stems that bear 
blooms of extra large size and fully double. One of the best of 
Vories originations. A Brand Division $2.50 
NANETTE (Doriat) 
A loosely built pale pink of large size and beautiful form, that grad- 
ually fades to almost a pure white. The plant is of medium height 
with excellent stems, that comes into bloom midseason. A very 
free flowering variety of exceptional charm. A Brand Division $1.50
