Germaine Bigot (Dessert 1902) 8.5 Double type, large midseason. Color, light rose- 
pink, loosely formed, stamens which discolor quickly. Develops a crown slowly 
and irregularly, showing flesh-pink tints and prominent crimson edges. Odor not 
particularly pleasing. Strong stems, good foliage. $1.50 
Gloriana (Neeley 1918) 9.06 Large pink double. Well formed. Very tall. ~ $2.00 
Helen Hayes (Murawska 1943) A new, late, deep pink peony recently introduced. 
Bomb type. Tall grower with good strong stems. This variety has been well 
received by those having had the opportunity to see it. Stock limited. $6.00 
J. F. Cooper (Kelsey 1937) Double. Large. Very deep or rose pink bloom shading 
lighter toward tips of petals. Early bloomer. Tall, strong stems. $3.00 
Joyce (Auten 1938) Double, late, rich medium pink. Tall. $3.00 
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 
Laura Ellen (Kelsey 1936) Light rose. Informal double. 8” blooms. Rather dwarf 
grower. Good stems, Early-midseason. Much the color of Judge Berry but a 
shade darker. More dwarf growing and stronger. Very large flowers. $5.00 
Lights Out (Kelsey 1934) Large, rose pink double. The very last to bloom in the 
garden. Due to its lateness the peony season is considerably lengthened. Its 
outstanding feature is its extreme lateness. $3.50 
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 over forty-two 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 colcr 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 effcrts. $2.00 
Maud L. Richardson (Hollis 1904) 8.5 Double, large to very large and a very late 
rose-pink with a flesh-pink undertone which is more pronounced at base of 
petals. Pleasing fragrance. Excellent stems and foliage. $1.50 
May Corbin (Kelsey 1934) Very déep pink double. Medium size, tall, wiry stems. 
Midseason bloomer. High built crown, Large flowers. Fragrant. $3.00
