DR. CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM (New) (A. M. Brand) 
This variety was named for Dr. Graham, who was so long 
identified with the early history of the Mayo Clinic at Roches- 
ter, Minnesota. Here is a large late white in season with Marie 
Lemoine. It is a rich creamy white absolutely void of stamens. 
The plant is tall, with medium green foliage and strong stems. 
The flower is large, loosely built, with large guard petals en- 
closing a center of smaller lacy petals. There is an occasional 
trace of carmine on a petal, but not flecked like Festiva Maxima. 
The general appearance of this late flower is that of a large, 
very creamy white, the Kelway’s Glorious type. We consider 
this a real acquisition to our short list of good late whites. It is 
absolutely a first-class variety and also a late variety. It is a 
loose type and will open well. A Brand Division $5.00 
8.1 COURONNE D’OR (Calot)

A soft Tyrian rose without stamens. The flowers are very large

excellent garden variety and also a good show flower. Another fine 
rose-red of beautiful form. A Brand Division $2.00 June 29, 1951

EDWARD FLYNN (New) (A. M. Brand) 
One of our very best and latest selections from among the many 
new varieties we have brought out. We have been searching for 
years for a Peony similar to Philippe Rivoire but with stronger 
plant habits. We believe we have found such a Peony in our 
new variety, Edward Flynn. We first selected it from a block of 
seedlings because of its striking resemblance to Philippe Rivoire. 
After working up a stock of Edward Flynn, we planted the two . 
varieties side by side, in order to make a true comparison. Cross ™“™ 
ing the field one day when these Peonies were in bloom in their 
3rd year after planting, we came upon these two varieties. From 
the general appearance we thought we had come to Philippe 
Rivoire as the two Peonies are very much alike in color and neither 
have stamens. It soon became very noticeable that the plants of 
Edward Flynn were much stronger, had more foliage, the flowers 
were larger and more numerous, and just as beautiful. When the 
variety Edward Flynn is rated by members of the American Peony 
Society, we feel it will rate as well as Philippe Rivoire, or better.
