Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt (Franklin 1933) 9.4 The rating on this peony has gradual- 
ly climbed, attesting to the worthiness of this beautiful creation. We believe 
this to be one of Mr. Franklin’s most outstanding contributions to the peony 
world. The flower is artistically formed, with extremely long, Joose petals of 
soft pink. A splendid grower with excellent blooming habit. Its huge size, 
form and color combine to make it most attractive and it will grow in popularity 
when better known. A grand exhibition bloom. $5.00 
Mrs. J. H. Neeley (Neeley 1931) 9.22 Late, flesh-pink. Good strong grower and a 
most desirable origination. We are now able to offer this peony to a few peony 
enthusiasts who want the best. Only a small number of divisions available this 
year. ~ $4.50 
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 Dolman (Vories 1924) 9.1 Double type, very large and late. Pale rose-pink 
of conical shape, with fluted, fluffy petals, becoming pinkish white in center. 
Tall, robust grower with stiff stems. Poor odor, One of the big fellows. $2.50 
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 
Opal (Pleas 1908) 8.5 Double type, large midseason. Pale rose pink becoming almost 
white when fully open. Petals long pointed and arranged in a deep funnel-like 
form. As the name indicates the coloring is very delicate and opalescent. $1.00 
Pastel (Nicholls 1941) Here is a charming peony very aptly named. Color a fine 
salmon pink. This is one of the new ones and little known to the general public. 
The stock we are growing is direct from the originator’s garden. Not as yet 
rated, but we predict that the rating will put it in a class with the good ones. . 
The pleasing, delicate coloring is most attractive. None will be offered this year 
as we want to increase cur stock. 
Peach Blow (Shaylor 1938) 8.98 A very early bloomer, semi-double in form. Rather 
dwarf, with a delicate peach pink color. Valuable, due to its extreme earliness 
and beauty of flower. Stock rather scarce at the present time. Very much worth 
while. $6.00 
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 
Pitti Sin (Vories 1924) 8.65 A late, medium pink peony of upright habit and strong 
stems. This peony was named by a tiny tot just learning to talk who was trying 
to say “pretty thing.” It is an attractive variety that you will appreciate. $1.50
