9.0 MRS. FRANK BEACH (See color page 4), (A. M. Brand) 
9.4 MRS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (Franktin) 
This very fine pink is a lovely flower and we think it is one of the very 
best varieties originated by Mr. Franklin. It is deep Therese-pink with 
extremely long overlapping cupped petals which enfold a real rosebud 
center. It has good substance and keeps well as a cut flower. Its fragrance 
is pronounced. This is a flower to be admired by all. It received a Gold 
Medal in 1948 and fully deserved it. A Brand Division $5.00 
9.0 MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A. M. Brand) 
A tall, very late deep pink with exceedingly strong, heavy stems and 
large deep green foliage. The petals are long, broad, pointed, and of 
great substance. A fragrant flower of deep rose type. When you think 
the Peony season is over, Mrs. John M. Kleitsch comes along to top off 
the season. Too late to appear in many shows, but won first prize as the 
best flower in the entire show at St. Paul in 1928.

NEWS FROM THE SOUTH 
Mrs. John M. Kleitsch made only two flowers as a two-year-old, but one of 
them was fine; and what a darling shade of pink this one is. 
9.5 MRS. J. V. EDLUND (J. V. Edlund) 
This is a large pure white flower of most perfect form. In voting off the 
tie with Hansina Brand at the Toronto National Show, this flower was 
awarded best flower in the show. It is a late, large pure white that is in 
bloom with Blanche King, Genevieve, Mrs. A. M. Brand, and Mrs. Frank 
Beach. It is one of the very finest of all Peonies. A Brand Division $5.00

“There is one thing that I have wanted to tell you folks for quite a while and 
just neaer did. I think that Myrtle Gentry is one of the three best, if not the 
best Peony that I have ever grown or that it has been my privilege to see. If I 
were limited to just two varieties of Peonies, one of them would be Myrtle 
Gentry. It has never failed me to date.” 
More About the Peony, Myrtle Gentry 
By Myrtle Gentry 
Years ago when I selected this fine pink as the flower I liked best of all 
from our seedling field, I had no idea that flower lovers all over the country 
would find a place for me in their gardens. When I read the Peony Bulletins 
issued by the American Peony Society and note what others say of my per- 
formance in their gardens from North to South, from East to West and I 
also note the many prizes I have won, I have come to the conclusion I really 
made a wise choice. 
8.9 NANCY DOLMAN (Vories) 
A. distinctive rose-pink of conical form and of great size. Although a 
very late variety, it seems to open as well in the South as in the North. 
The plant is very tall, with strong, heavy stems that bear blooms of 
extra large size and fully double. One of the best of Vories’ originations.
