“Blowers from the Wilds of Missouri” 
PEONIES 
MRS. J. H. NEELEY (Dr. J. H. Neeley) (9.2) Each $3.00 
A late flowering blush white with a greenish reflex at the base 
of petals. Center petals enlivened with yellowish pink or sal- 
mon tones that are attractively different. A new variety that 
seems destined to earn a place among the truly great peonies. 
MRS. LIVINGSTON FARRAND (Nicholls, 1935) (9.36) 
Each $15.00 
We consider this one of the most outstanding originations, as 
far as color is concerned, that has been introduced in many 
years. A double late midseason variety. Large well-formed flow- 
ers of the purest pink yet seen in Chinensis peonies. A really 
sensational flower that is outstanding in the show room 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 outstand- 
ing creations, some of which we are offering you in our list, 
and others will appear when available in some quantity. 
MRS. ROMAINE B. WARE (A. M. Brand) (9.1) Each $1.50 
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. 
MRS. W. C. OTIS (Otis, 1939) Each $5.00 
Double, large, light pink. Fine formed flower that received an 
Honorable Mention Certificate of the A. P. S. One of two varie- 
ties introduced by the late W. C. Otis. Stock extremely limited 
and only a few to offer. 

MYRTLE GENTRY (Brand, 1925) (9.06) Each $2.00 
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 enticing. 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. 
NANCY BONNER (Kelsey, 1938) Each $4.00 
Light pink, double, with five V-shaped red wedges on the cen- 
tral edges which are divided, forming a butterfly pattern. Fra- 
grant. Late midseason. Odd and unusual. 
NANCY DOLMAN (Vories, 1924) (9.1) Each $2.00 
Double type, very large and late. Pale rose pink of conical 
shape with fluted, fluffy petals, becoming pinkish white in cen- 
ter. Tall, robust grower with stiff stems. Poor odor. One of 
the big fellows. 
NAOMI (Auten) Each $1.00 
Rich creamy flesh, very large, on tall stiff stems. Practically 
full double. Early midseason . 
NANCY NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1941) Each $8.00 
A grand white with a pink suffusion at the center of bloom 
that is most artistic. Here is a variety really worth while and 
we are indeed fortunate in having a good stock to offer direct 
from the originator’s garden. This is one of the new, fine peo- 
nies still unrated. Watch for it at the shows and you will be 
impressed with its beauty, which is very appealing. 
NEBRASKA Each $3.00 
Pure white, large and tall. Late. Very good. 
NEW ERA (Franklin) Each $2.00 
A pure white Mons. Jules Elie. On the broad rounded guards 
rests a giant white mum. Guards are prominent as the flower 
opens but the central bomb heightens and expands to form a 
perfect Elie in glistening white. Midseason. 
NICK SHAYLOR (Shaylor & Allison) (9.4) Each $3.00 
In our estimation, one of the best of the newer peonies. A beau- 
tiful rounded cup-shaped bloom with tremendously large, nicely 
rounded petals that overlap one another as petals of rose. Color 
is a deep pure flesh pink. We consider Nick Shaylor “A” top- 
notch variety. 
NIMBUS (Andrews), 1923) (9.03) Each $2.50 
Double, full, deep flower of palest rose fading to white. Late 
bloomer. Tall growing. A very distinguished flower. This will 
make a fine addition to any peony planting . 
NINA SECOR (Secor, 1921) (9.0) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Double type, medium to large; midseason. Pure white with 
yellow glow in depth. Fine crimson edge on a few of the central 
petals. Guard petals are splashed with maroon. Average height. 
Very floriferous. Foliage narrow, incurved and dark green. 
Stems need support for best results. 
NOBILITY (Van Leeu.) Each $1.00 
Bright pink. Very good. 
NOEL (Kelsey, 1935) Each $8.00 
Double midseason. Very large, 7-inch blooms, perfectly finished 
on extra tall stems. This is a red double as good as many and 
better than most. Size as large or larger than any red double. 
Color clear, but intense. Stock very scarce, and only a limited 
amount to offer this season. 
NYMPHAEA (Thur.) (8.8) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Flat flowers of creamy white petals mixed with yellow stamens. 
The edge of the petals are somewhat rolled, giving a water lily 
effect. Midseason. 
OCTAVE DEMAY (Calot) (8.5) Each 50c, 3 for $1.25 
Pale hydrangea pink. Very large with flat crown; fragrant. 
Dwarf habit, but leaves grow low on stalk and permit cutting 
good length stems. Free bloomer. Fades to white. 
ODILE (Doriat, 1928) Each $3.00 
Double, late midseason. Large white sphere with lilac tinted 
center. This is a fine peony and make no mistake about it. 
Worthy of any garden planting and it is also a fine show flower. 
Another fine French origination. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA (8.6) 
Vivid crimson; large round bloom. 
Each 75c
