Lady Kate (Vories 1924) 8.85 A very late blooming pink and unquestionably one 
of the very best late ones. The flowers are graceful, rose type, on tall, straight 
stems. The color is a sparkling Paul Neyron pink and is much admired by all 
who see it. $2.00 
Last Rose (Sass 1930) 8.93 Late, deep pink, in fact it is one of the latest to bloom 
in the garden, carrying the blooming season several days beyond normal. Fully 
double. $1.50 
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. $2.00 
Loren Franklin (Franklin 1931) 9.08 <A late, deep pink peony of more than ordinary 
- merit. Here is a peony that needs to be better known and we predict that it will 
be much in demand in the future. Very large, full rose type with stiff stems 
and foliage to the ground. Received a First Class Certificate of the American 
Peony Society. Believe us, this is a beautiful dark pink peony. : $4.00 
Martha Bulloch (Brand 1907) 9.1 Martha has attained the age of nearly forty years 
and still she 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. 
$3.00 
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. $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. $1.50 
Mrs, F. A. Goodrich (Brand 1925) 8.94 This variety originally rated 9 and we believe 
this rating should still stand. Large, double type. Late blooming variety. Dark, 
deep bright pink, with long, narrow petals of good substance. Stock. rather 
limited and we believe it deserves more recognition. We have only a limited 
amount of stock to offer this year. . , $3.50 
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
