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. Harry F. Little (Little 1936) 9.27 A late, flesh-pink that is very enticing and 
- most desirable for any good planting of peonies. Stock very scarce at present 
and we only have a limited amount to offer. A more complete description of 
this variety will be compiled after this blooming season. $20.00 
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 
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 
Mrs. W. C. Otis (Otis 1939) Double, large, light pink. Fine formed flower that re- 
ceived an Honorable Mention Certificate of the A.P.S. One of two varieties in- 
troduced by the late W. C. Otis. Stock extremely limited and only a few to 
offer. $5.00 
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

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
