One cannot go past Mr. Brand's without seeing Mary Brand, Long- 
fellow, Richard Carvel, and David Harum in all their glory. 
Blanche King did the best for me this year it ever did unless it was 
in 1942. If Blanche King is right, the rest have to be good if they beat 
it, 
Dr. Lee Pollock is a beautiful variety and is so popular that we can 
never have enough stock to get good established plants. It most cer- 
tainly is a dandy. 
Of course, Myrtle Gentry is the one Peony that seems to be my 
favorite and it is dificult for me to talk about any Peony without com- 
paring it with Myrtle Gentry. If I had the misfortune to be compelled 
to grow just one Peony I believe I would take Myrtle Gentry. 
Ella Christiansen should be in all collections of ten or more varieties, 
It always makes a fine show for itself. 
If you ever expect to show any Peonies, be sure to plant Hansina 
Brand. If you like Therese, you better get a plant of Walter Lingren. 
To my mind it is better than Therese. Then right on the edge of white 
is R. A. Napier. If it won’t stop you, then you do not know good 
Peonies. C. W. Bunn is almost white having a small amount of pink 
mixed into it. Golden Bracelet is of course a two-toned white and yellow 
that is very nice.

Victory C. Thierry is like a gorgeous seashell. I can hardly leave it. 
Mrs. Livingston Farrand is a gorgeous color and a fine bloomer here, 
but for some reason I don’t go back to it like I do to Myrtle Gentry. 
She just does something to me. I think if I could have only one pink, 
it would be Myrtle Gentry.
