ARCHIE BRAND. (1913). Prize Peony. An even. deep, sea- 
sliell pinU with silvery Ijorder. 'J'he petals, closely massed, 
form a solid head wliicli is smToumled by broad/ tU'ooi)in^ 
L;nard petals. An inunense llowcr of llu- liomb type. There 
is a charm aboul this ilower in its even, uniform color and 
the iiecniiar perfection i)\ its forn^ which att racts the eye 
from a loip.^' distance. Midseason. medium heiylit, jirofuse 
bloomer. Mjie of the very best of the Brand Peonies. ( )ne 
of the chiel al tract ions about ii is its delicate frat;rance 
which closely resembles that of the rose. V\'e believe'it has 
a stionjijer, truer rose scent than any other pink variety. 
This deii;.,ditful fragrance, added to the charming l.tcauty and 
i-rrace of the Ilower, makes this variety especially line for ctit 
blosstims. It rivals the rose in fr;iii-rance and in beauty ami 
far surpasses it in size. It is in a class bv ilsi-lf. $5.00. 
BEN FRANKLIN. (V'{)7). .Medium sized blossoms of .semi- 
rose type. A brilliant crimson with darker shailings al base 
of petals. Very tall, erect stems carryini^ sinj^le blossoms in 
.efreat profusion. Medium early. Tliis is one of the nio.st 
striking of our dark jieonics. A S]dendid commercial variety. 
A_ line S(n-t foi' massiiii,^ The frajjrance of this Ilower is 
sliii;hi but a.yreeable. It is eqvially desirable as a cut ilower 
and as a laiidseaiie vai-iety. '!"he llowers unfold slowly and 
carry llu-ir htrm ;iiid color nnich lou.L;-cr than most red va- 
rieties. It is a charmer and will give salisfaction. A siufile 
])lant (U- a group on the lawn, or a vase lllled with these 
gor,s^eoiis_ blossoms always attracts attention and calls forth 
exclamations of deli.Lrht and comments of admiral ion. $2.00.

most perfect in form (if the crimscjn peonies. ()peus rose- 
shaped and devehtps into ihe ]dume Iy]K\ The irrcj.;ular, 
rich, crimson petals of tlie center arc minglcil with j^olilen 
stainens and surrcninded Ijy rows of broad, silky i^uard petals. 
This Ilower should l)e found in every collection because of 
the perfect form of the (lower and the deep, rich, ruby color 
of the inclividual Idossom. It has a charm peculiarly its own.

his collection. $5.00. 
CHESTINE GOWDY. (I'-M.^). Pn^e Peony. A striking 
speciinen of the cone-shaped peony. The broatl. outer petals 
are silvery pink. These enclose a zone of line irregularly 
shaped, closely set petals of deep, rich cream which in turn 
rich and delicately varied eolorin,<; have repeatedly caused it 
to be singlc<l out for special admiration from a group of the 
lincst varieties. The stems are long, slender, and strong, 
bearing a singje flower. The flower is of good substance 
and when cut jnst as the bn'I is bursting this variety makes
