BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
Our General List of Peonies 
Claire Dubois. 
ADOLPHE ROUSSEAU (Dessert and Mechin). 8.5. Red. 
One of the very good early dark reds. The plant is very 
tall and holds its flowers so erect that it makes a fine 
showing. One of the finest of all red Peonies as a land¬ 
scape variety. A great dark flower that looks almost 
black and unusually rich when viewed from a distance. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
AIiICE HARDING. Broad, evenly rounded guard petals 
of delicate flesh-pink, surrounding a cupped center of 
long, irregular petals of creamy white. Sweet fra¬ 
grance. This variety was awarded a special prize by 
the Societe Nationale d’Horticulture de France. Le- 
moine considers this his best flower. 
A Brand Division $10.00. 
ALSACE-LORRAINE (Lemoine). 8.8. A late midseason. 
Creamy white. A dainty and refined flower of beautiful 
form. Color a rich creamy white with a suggestion of 
brownish yellow at the base of the petals similar to 
Solange. When well grown this is one of the most 
beautiful and refined of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
A. M. SLOCUM (Franklin). 9.0. A large, late, variable 
flower opening a pale rose-pink and showing a ring 
of prominent stamens. Center light, almost white. 
Spreads open in a hollow cuplike fashion showing sta¬ 
mens and carpels in center. A profuse bloomer. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
A. P. SAUNDERS (Thurlow). 8.6. Delicate pink. A large 
loosely built flower of true rose type. Outside petals 
extremely large with a ball of shorter petals unfolding 
in the center. Late. A Brand Division $3.00. 
AVALANCHE (Crousse). 8.7. White. A late midseason 
variety. The flower is cone-shaped and makes a splen¬ 
did show flower. The blossom develops a distinct 
creamy white flower, surrounding a center of delicately 
tinted lilac-white petals with a few showing traces of 
carmine. A Brand Division $1.00. 
AVIATEUR REYMOND (Dessert). 8.0. Red. A bright 
cherry-red, shaded garnet. A loosely built midseason 
variety. A Brand Division $1.00. 
BARONESS SCHROEDER (Kelway). 9.0. White. This 
is considered one of the finest Peonies grown. When 
the last symposium was taken, this variety received a 
rating of 9.0 after 79 people had voted. When the buds 
first open, they are a delicate blush, but the flower 
soon fades to a milky white. This is a variety that 
should be found in every collection. It comes into 
bloom late, after most of the white Peonies are gone. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
BRAND’S MAGNIFICENT (Brand). 8.2. Red. A very 
deep dark red carrying more blue than any other good 
Peony. This variety is noted for its beautiful form, 
prolific bloom, broad symmetrical petals, and excellent 
color. A late midseason variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CANDEUR (Dessert). 8.4. Pink. A large, late midsea¬ 
son. globular rose type flower showing stamens. A very 
beautiful, delicate pink, slightly tinged lilac-rose, fad¬ 
ing to iridescent white; center petals flecked carmine. 
A very vigorous grower with clean light green foliage. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CHERRY Hllili (Thurlow). 8.6. Red. A very tall grow¬ 
ing semi-double bright dark red that is early, and 
splendid as a landscape variety. The color is a deep 
garnet, with a sheen so rich that the variety is very 
noticeable among all other reds. For best effects this 
variety should not be disbudded. Awarded a silver 
medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse). 8.7. Pink. A late flower of 
immense, globular form, with long, incurved petals of 
a uniform shade of clear violet-rose, tipped silvery 
white. It has that same wonderful attractiveness pos¬ 
sessed by Mons. Jules Elie. They are much the same 
in color but Claire Dubois is late where Mons. Jules 
Elie is early. The best cut flower of its color in its 
season. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 9.1. Pink. We think 
that this is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best Peonies. A very 
late variety with heavy stems and excellent foliage. 
It opens a decided pink but gradually fades to an al¬ 
most pure white with a greenish tint at the base of the 
petals. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
COURONNE d’OR (Calot). 8.1. A most dependable white. 
Outer petals a pure white; then a ring of yellow sta¬ 
mens surrounding a tuft of center petals, tipped car¬ 
mine. A late white coming into bloom just before 
Marie Lemoine. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
DAVID HARUM (Brand). 8.4. Red. The flowers are very 
large with prominent guard petals surrounding a great 
ball of closely packed petals of the same shade. The 
entire flower is an even shade of soft Tyrian rose, with¬ 
out stamens. An upright growing plant with very 
strong stems that hold their great blooms erect. One 
of the very best landscape reds. This variety appeared 
in five prize-winning collections at the National Show 
held at Des Moines in 1924. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
DESIRE (Brand). 8.5. Pink. Very large flower, rather 
loosely built, with long, broad petals showing stamens. 
Flowers very fine on well established plants. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
E. B. BROWNING (Brand). 9.1. White. A very late white 
coming into bloom with Marie Lemoine. The buds of 
this variety are often as large as the entire blooms of 
other fair sized Peonies. The bud opens slowly, and as 
the petals unfold, a delicate pink coloring appears; the 
inner surface of the petals being washed with the most 
delicate pinkish canary. The perfume of the flowers is 
strong and sweet. The variety is so late that it is not 
always seen in Peony shows. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
EDUIiIS SUPERBA. 7.6. Pink. We do not believe that 
justice was done this grand old variety in the sym¬ 
posium that placed its rating at 7.6. It is the first 
good early deep pink. It sometimes opens for Decor¬ 
ation Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are 
large, borne profusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, 
crown type flower, of a beautiful deep pink. One of 
the greatest of all cut flowers in its color and season. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
E. J. SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 8.7. Pink. A deep rose-pink, 
shading lighter at the tips of the petals. Surrounding 
the center petals is a distinct band of petals edged and 
tipped with gold, which produces a very pleasing effect. 
A late midseason variety. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
ELWOOD PLEAS (Pleas). 8.7. Pink. A large to very 
large flower of true rose type. It opens flat. The plant 
is strong and sturdy, of medium height with rich, 
healthy foliage that reaches to the ground, making the 
variety a most desirable landscape sort. The blooms 
are fine in form and of a shade of pink that is very 
pleasing. Late midseason. Very fragrant. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
ENCHANTERESSE (Lemoine). 8.9. White. A charming 
very late white. An excellent show flower. Prolong your 
blooming season by adding this excellent variety to 
your list. We understand that this is not a good flower 
for the South, as it is very late and does not open well, 
but the farther north it is grown, the better it becomes. 
As grown with us, it is rated far too low. It is surely 
entitled to a rating of 9.2. A splendid pure white. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
EUGENE BIGOT (Dessert). 8.3. Red. In color this Peony 
is a very bright dark red. The blooms are of medium 
size, showing stamens. Very late, in season with Rubra 
Superba. Very desirable as a cut flower red for the 
home market, because of its lateness; yes, one of the 
best late cut flower reds. 
A Brand Division $1.00.
