Book (1928) Page(s) 63. A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties Pink Varieties Martha Bulloch (Brand). 9.1. This is the most striking of our peonies. The mammoth pink flowers, often nine to twelve inches across, are borne on strong, stiff stems high above all other flowers in the field. As it nods at the beholder, it seems to say, “Match me if you can.” It surpasses everything of its color for landscape effects, but its beautiful shadings and delicate structure are best exhibited by a single bloom in a crystal vase. It is a great show flower. In the Minneapolis show last summer, this variety won both first and second in the color class calling for six pink blooms of one variety; although it had Therese as a competitor. At Flushing, N. Y., it won the silver trophy offered by the Flushing Garden Club. It was the production of this flower that really induced us to embark in the peony business as a specialty. We had some beautiful blooms from three year old Martha Bullocks in the cellar. They looked so wonderful that we thought it might be well to take them to the Minnesota Peony show sponsored by the State Horticultural Society. It was in 1913, and we had never been to a peony show before. We carried our blooms in large flower boxes 60 miles to the show at St. Paul. When we entered the show room and saw wonderful vases of Therese, Solange, Mme. Jules Dessert, and such flowers in full bloom, our heart sank. We did not think we had anything that could compare with such flowers. But we opened up our boxes. The first box happened to contain Martha Bulloch. When I lifted the wax paper from the large blooms and the great pink faces looked at me from out the box, just as perfect as when placed there in the early morning, some five hours before, I was no longer doubtful. Those Martha Bulloch were the sensation of the show. They were an inspiration to me and at that moment my mind centered on the peony. It has been my main vocation ever since.
