I was able to find this also
Dr. Nehrling produced many
varieties. His �John Peed� and �Fannie Munson� varieties
are still popular and commercially produced.
and......
naturalist David Fairchild was a colleague and admirer .... so you might be able to get more names from Fairchild Botanic Garden, if you drop them an e-mail.
Good luck with your hunt! Merry Christmas to everyone!

There is Mrs. Arno Nehrling and Dr. T.L. Mead and Edith Mead. Possibly more. Also the name Joyner appears. Mrs. F. M. Joyner and Postman Joyner, maybe named by Mead or Nehrling.
