Light Pink Peonies (Continued) 
Mrs. Livingston Farrand (Nicholls 1935) 9.36 We consider this one of the most out- 
standing originations, as far as color is concerned, that has been introduced 
in many years. A double, late-midseason variety. Large, well formed flowers 
of the purest pink yet seen ir Chinensis peonies. A really sensational flower 
that is outstanding in the showroom or home garden. If Col. Nicholls had only 
originated this one variety, he would have left to posterity a living monument 
to his genius. Delightfully fragrant. $5.00 
Mrs. W. C. Otis (Otis 1939) Double, large, light pink with artistically formed petals. 
$3.00 
Myrtle Gentry (Brand 1925) 9.06 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 entrancing. 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. $2.00 
Nick Shaylor (Allison 1931) 9.35 A most outstanding beauty and one much sought 
after. Double, late, blush or light pink, with occasional red markings. Some 
years these markings are more prominent than others, indicating weather con- 
ditions influence this characteristic. Very fine form, good plant growth and 
does well in all sections of the country. To be found in most high-class exhibits 
competing with the best of them for supremacy in its particular color class. 
No fine collection complete without it. $3.00 
Ottawa (Kelsey 1935) A double, rich pink shading lighter at base of petals. High 
built crown. A very good variety, but little known. $2.00 
Pastel (Nicholls 1941) Here is a charming peony very aptly named. Color a fine 
salmon pink. This is one of the new ones and little known to the general public. 
The stock we are growing is direct from the originator’s garden. $3.00
