“Flowers from the Wilds of Missouri” 
PEONIES 

MYRTLE GENTRY (Brand, 1925) (9.06) 
Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
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 $1.00 
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. 
NANCY NICHOLLS—See bottom of next column for full color il- 
lustration, description and prices. 
NAOMI (Auten) Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 
Rich creamy flesh, very large, on tall stiff stems. Practically 
full double. Early midseason . 
NEBRASKA Each $2.00 
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, 3 for $7.50 
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. 
NIMBUS (Andrews, 1923) (9.03) Each $2.00 
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. 
NINON (Doriat, 1925) (8.86) Each $2.00 
Striking in foliage, stem and flower, this plant excites your in- 
terest and admiration from its first appearance above ground 
to its death by frost. The stem is strong and upright and quite 
tall. The flower is large, of excellent form and a color that is 
rarely found, being a light pink with a distinctly reddish tinge. 
On well matured plants the blooms are very fine. Double. Mid- 
season. Pink. 
NOBILITY (Van Leeu.) Each $1.00 
3right 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 
OCTAVIE DEMAY (Calot) (8.9) 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. 

NANCY NICHOLLS (Nicholls, 1941) Each $5.00, 3 for $12.50 
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.
