BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
KELWAY'S QUEEN (Kdway). 8.S. Pink. The stocks 
of this variety have been badly mixed and many spur¬ 
ious sort-? have been sold under the name of Kelways 
Queen. Once the genuine \ariety is seen, tin-re can be 
no mistake. It is a distinct Peony, both in tiower and 
plant. We have the true variety and guarantee our 
stock of Kelway’s Queen to be absolutely genuine. 
A large, compact, rose type flower of uniform mauve, 
with center flecked crimson. A tall, strong grower, 
very profuse bloomer. 1 ate midseason. One of Kel- 
way’s finest. Very di tirct color, a great show flower 
A Brand Division $4.C0. 
LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF (Kelwav). 9.1. Pink. One 
of the largest and most beautiful of all Peonies. An 
immense, loosely built flower with great broad rounded 
petals. A pale blush pink, fading to white, with yellow 
stamens. When not disbudded, the central flower is 
loosely double, of a rather flattened, circular form; 
central petals touched with carmine. A beautifully 
formed flower; sweet scented. Very floriferous. Very 
showy. Opening after the central flower, the side flow¬ 
ers come semi-double, saucer-shaned, showing stamens.

LA FEE (Lemoine). 9.2. Pink. A scarce variety, seldom 
seen in any garden. Plants tall with but few stalks to 
the plant. Long, narrow, sharply pointed foliage. Flow¬ 
ers very large, loosely built, with long narrow petals 
sharply notched at the edges. Guards mauve-rose. 
Collar creamy white. A beautiful mottling of different 
shades of pink. Strikingly beautiful, both in the field 
and show room. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert). 8.8. Yellow. This Peony, 
Primevere and Fanny Crosby, are the three finest yellow 
Peonies. The flower is round, of rose type. Guard petals 
creamy white, enclosing a domelike center of pure 
canary-yellow. Like Fanny Crosby, the plant is an up¬ 
right grower, holding blossoms erect for good land¬ 
scape value. Like all yellows, it must be developed 
inside away from the sun to preserve its color. Early 
midseason. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
LE CYGNE (Lemoine). 9.9. White. A flower of true rose 
type, perfect in form. Creamy white with no tracings of 
color. Strong, medium height stems; each one produces 
a perfect bloom. Flowers large and delightfully fra¬ 
grant. Le Cygne is the highest rated Peony and fully 
deserves its rating. Early midseason. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm). 8.8. Pink. Late midseason. A 
new flower of outstanding qualities, good enough to be 
repeatedly singled out from hundreds of varieties in 
the field. Very large, globular in form, rose type, with 
great broad petals, and a cupped center. Color uni¬ 
form apple-blossom-pink with more brilliant shadings 
at the base of the petals. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
LIVINGSTONE (Crousse). 8.1. Pink. A deep pink that 
comes into bloom just before Grandiflora. Blossoms 
very large, compact, perfect rose type. Center petals 
flecked with carmine. One of the most satisfactory of 
the late pink Peonies. A very fragrant variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
LA FRANCE (Lemoine). 9.0. Pink. A flower that gives 
wonderful results in our soil and climate. Blooms very 
large, true rose type. Color a true uniform apple-blos- 
som-pink, with crimson splashes on the guards. Tall, 
strong, robust plant—-a suitable support for enormous 
blooms. In the years when La France is in prime, no 
flower in the pinks outranks it in the shows. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
LONGFELLOW (Brand). 9.0. Red. Everyone concedes 
Longfellow one of the most popular red Peonies be¬ 
cause of its distinct, fadeless color and general de¬ 
pendability, both for cutting and garden decoration. 
It is as striking in the field as in the show room. It 
comes into bloom early midseason. The plant has ex¬ 
cellent foliage and strong, stiff stems. The flower is a 
bright crimson and is always found among the winning 
classes. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
LAKE O’ SILVER (Franklin). Pink. Midseason. This is 
a light pink silver-tipped variety, with golden anthers 
prominently showing 
throughout the flower. The 
central petals are a darker 
pink. The bloom is very 
large, often 7 to 8 inches 
in diameter on established 
plants. It is an extremely 
free bloomer. Very de¬ 
sirable. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
LA LORRAINE (Lemoine) 
8.6. Pink. Midseason. A 
large flower, nicely round¬ 
ed, with great broad petals 
beautifully arranged. Col¬ 
or a soft even shade of 
creamy pink. In our opin¬ 
ion, this flower is not fully 
appreciated, for it is one of 
the choicest of all Peonies 
and should rate well above 
9.0. From our first obser¬ 
vation of the flower, this 
has been our constant im¬ 
pression. When shown to¬ 
gether with magnificent 
blooms of Le Cygne. Kel¬ 
way’s Glorious, Therese 
and Mme. Jules Dessert, 
we have seen blooms of 
La Lorraine which showed 
up equally beautiful; and 
we think it is just as good 
a flower as any of them. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
LA FERLE (Crousse). 8.5. 
Pink. A fioriferous variety 
with strong stems and 
good foliage. Guard petals 
a rose-pink with a slightly 
darker center, showing 
flecks of crimson. Beauti¬ 
ful both in the bud and open flower. An excellent va¬ 
riety for the cut flower trade. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
LA RQSIERE (Crousse). 8.8. White. Large flowers in 
clusters; straw-yellow at the center, shading to a 
creamy white border—this is indeed a striking variety. 
Pleasing fragrance. The flower is loose, showing a 
band of yellow stamens which light up the flower with 
a yellowish cast. For a garden flower it should not be 
disbudded. Midseason. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
LORA DEXHEIMER (Brand). 8.4. Red. To us, the splen¬ 
did habit and brilliant col¬ 
or of this plant have ex¬ 
ceptional merit. We first 
selected it from the seed 
bed in 1904. Each succeed¬ 
ing year it has grown in 
our esteem. Color intense 
flaming crimson. Early 
midseason. A variety that 
ranks with Longfellow. 
From all parts of the 
country, we have reports 
of the wonderful qualities 
of Lora Dexheimer. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
LORCH (Goos & Koene- 
mann). 8.7. White. The 
outer petals are very 
large, pure snow-white, in¬ 
curving over a pale lemon 
and cream center, with 
pale crimson tracings on 
edge of center petals. A 
truly splendid Peony. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
LOVELINESS (Hollis). 8.8. 
Pink. Very late. Produces 
very large, flat, hydrangea- 
pink flowers; blooms of 
wonderful beauty. It is 
Hollis’ best Peony. Plants 
tall with heavy foliage 
and stems strong enough 
to hold the immense 
blooms erect. The flowers, 
a uniform shade of pink, 
make wonderful show 
flowers. 
Le Cygne. A Brand Division $1.00. 
LUETTA PFEIFFER (Brand 1916). 8.7. Pink. Very large, 
semi-double, pinkish white. Foliage large and clean; 
stems long and stout. Immense blooms are produced 
in great profusion. Petals are long, broad, of great 
substance; a pure hydrangea-pink interspersed with 
just enough golden stamens to be beautifully fascinat¬ 
ing. Blooms early. A Brand Division $2.00. 
LUELLA SHAYLOR (Shaylor). White. Midseason. An¬ 
other very fine Shaylor variety with so much yellow 
in the white as to give the entire flower a distinct 
yellow cast. Wonderfully rich in appearance. 
A Brand Division $5.00.
