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

No red Peony ever won favor so quickly as Mary Brand. Always 
found among the winning reds in every show room. Comes into 
bloom with Frances Willard. Color so distinct it is easily recognized 
by amateurs, no matter how often they find it in our fields. A red 
in which there is little trace of purple. One of the most satisfactory 
reds as a cut flower as it will last a week if cut in the bud. Holds 
its color perfectly and for a long time in the sun. See color page
