Guidon (Nicholls 1941) A lilac pink of good depth that Col. Nicholls selected from 
his many seedlings for introduction. Too new to have a rating but it should 
have a good one. Ycu will hear more of this in the future and it should be 
shown at future peony shows more generously. Only a limited number to be 
offered this year. $5.00 
Hansina Brand (Brand 1925) 9.04 A lovely, glistening flesh pink with a salmon reflex 
shading toward the base of petals. This variety has been a consistent winner 
at national and local peony exhibitions and is most dependable, giving a splendid 
performance every year. A late bloomer, and as the flowers fade they resemble 
a perfectly formed specimen of Solange, it never fails to produce fine flowers. 
A “must have” for any fine planting of peonies. $5.00 
Hans P. Sass (H. P. Sass 1939) 9.19 Mr. Sass has brought out some outstanding 
peonies, and when he selected one to bear his name it is quite evident it must 
have been desirable in every way. A very large, late, rich satin blush-white, 
suffused shell pink, illuminated with an inner glow that is indescribable with 
words. Must be seen to fully appreciate its beauty and refinement. A very 
consistent and free bloomer. $5.00 
Harry L. Burden (Neeley 1930) 8.93 A double, midseason, light-rose pink that is 
much admired in our planting. Very good form with good strong stems, with 
the added inherent quality of being a free bloomer. This attribute makes it 
well worth while. $2.00 
Hazel Kinney (Brand 1925) 9.0 Double type, large midseason variety. Light, fresh- 
pink, with broad petals symmetrically arranged. This is one of the thirteen 
($50.00) peonies introduced by Mr. Brand in 1925. A very charming variety. $2.50 
Henry Avery (Brand 1907) 8.8 This variety has always been interesting to-us. A 
double type, large, late. Guards and well defined crown a bright, light pink 
with a collar of creamy petals tinted yellow at base. Mild, pleasing fragrance. 
Good stems and foliage. A very attractive and lovely creation. $1.50
