The name Brand attached to a new peony signifies a masterpiece 



For the last 20 years we have been 

 actively engaged in the production of 

 new Peonies by cross fertilization and 

 the most rigid selection. And in all 

 this time although operating on a 

 large scale we have selected and sent 

 out only between 20 and 30 sorts.

 Show, at Cleveland, Ohio, two Brand
