MARTHA BULLOCH (Brand) 
One of the greatest of all pink Peonies. The color is a bright old-rose- 
pink. The plant is very tall and comes into bloom late midseason. The 
flower is cupped rose type and often measures from 9 to 12 inches in 
diameter. The stems are strong and hold the heavy flowers well above 
the foliage. A constant prize winner. A Brand Division $3.00 
At the National Show in Rochester, Minn., 1940, this variety was entered 
in a class calling for three blooms of one variety in medium, or dark pink. 
There were 20 entries in this class. Martha Bulloch won Ist, 2nd, and 
3rd prizes and also emerged as the Grand Champion flower of the entire 
show. At the National Show in Cleveland, Ohio, 1951, this variety was 
judged the best medium pink in the Court of Honor. 
An extract from the September, 1951, num- 
ber of the Peony Bulletin issued by the American 
Peony Society: 
“This bulletin contains mostly accounts of the var- 
ious shows held throughout the country and they are 
generally given in detail as far as we could. Look them 
over and see what varieties won. Incidentally, the 
variety that heads the list of winners is our old friend 
Martha Bulloch. Some of the new ones, like Doris 
Cooper, Pico, Lotus Queen and Sea Shell, push her . 
pretty hard. Dorothy J. is not far behind.” 
Martha Bulloch on exhibit at the National Show held in 
Rochester, Minn., also best deep pink at Guelph, Ontario, in 
1948.

MRS. A. S. GOWEN (A. M. Brand) , 
A very large midseason, semi-rose, red. The perfect arrangement of the large 
petals give this flower exquisite form. We named this Peony for Mrs. Gowen 
of Excelsior, Minnesota, for we believe no one is a better judge of a good 5 
Peony than she. She selected this variety some years ago from our seed bed “~ yy »\ ; 
as a really fine Peony and consequently it bears her name. ~ “ eet
