BRAND’S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
7 
MADELON (Dessert, 1922). Pink. A beautiful silvery- 
pink, among the latest of Dessert’s originations. Petals 
imbricated and slightly touched with carmine. A splen¬ 
did late variety. ' A Brand Division $5.00. 
MARIE LEMOINE (Calot). 8.5. White. Has the most 
pleasing and pronounced fragrance of any Peony. A 
sulphur-white, occasionally showing a carmine tip. 
One of the most beautiful of all Peonies. Very late; it 
should be in every collection. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MARIE CROUSSE (Crousse). 8.9. Pink. A very attractive 
flower. Color very delicate shell-pink bordering on sal¬ 
mon; stiff, upright stems. Fragrant. Midseason to late. 
A splendid variety, distinct in color from any other 
pink you may have. A most desirable sort for distant 
effect. Such a clear pure self color—it attracts the eye, 
even when blooming among a hundred different pinks. 
A Brand Division $1.03. 
MARIE JACQUIN (Verdier). 8.3. White. A midseason 
flower with purest white guards; then a collar of yel¬ 
low stamens surrounding a row of shorter pure white 
petals, then a tuft of yellow stamens, giving the flower 
a pronounced waterlily effect. One of the most dainty 
Peonies in the list. The stems are erect, a clean, light 
green, as is also the foliage. The flower is semi-double, 
held perfectly erect, and on young plants it often comes 
a beautiful single. A Brand Division $1.C0. 
MARTHA BULLOCH (Brand). 9.1. Pink. Very tall, very 
large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. We must 
judge Peonies not alone by individual taste but by per¬ 
formance over a long period. The great Peonies receive 
the awards at the large shows. The Northwest Peony 
Show is staged alternate years in St. Paul and Minnea¬ 
polis. Outside of the National Show, it is the largest 
Peony Show in America, taken year after year. Here 
Peonies from all varieties are shown at their best by 
expert showmen. The class that brings out the hest 
flowers is the class that calls for ten vases, one eacli 
of ten varieties, three blooms to a vase. Into this class 
go the ten best vases of each exhibitor. Martha Bul¬ 
loch is almost invariably in the exhibit that wins first. 
Bright old-rose-pink; center of lighter rose, and pink. 
Roselike fragrance. Tall, straight stems. Immense 
blooms. The most beautiful Peony of its size. 
A Brand Division $2.03. 
MARY BRAND (Brand). 8.7. No red Peony ever won 
favor so quickly as Mary Brand. Always found among 
the winning reds in every show room. Comes into bloom 
with Frances Willard. Color so distinct, it is easily 
recognized by amateurs, no matter how often they see 
it in our fields. A rose type Peony showing stamens. A 
red in which there is little trace of purple. One of the 
most satisfactory reds as a cut flower as it will last a 
week and hold right up stiff, if cut in the bud. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MARY WOODBURY SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 9.0. Pink. A 
very large flower of most refined beauty, borne erect on 
very strong, dwarfish stems. Outer petals are a deli¬ 
cate light shell-pink; central petals a yellowish creamy 
white tinted salmon. Very fragrant; a most beautiful 
sort. Midseason. A Brand Division $2.00.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. A large late midsea¬ 
son flower with guards and crown delicate blush white, 
the latter marked with a few crimson edges; collar pale 
canary-yellow; moderately fragrant. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
MILTON HIXiIi (Richardson). 9.0. Pink. A very beautiful 
flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resembling 
Walter Faxon. Seen in the show room in first class 
form, this variety is impossible to beat in its color. It 
received a rating of 9.0 with sixty-three voting. We 
can never supply the demand for roots. To obtain 
Milton Hill, you should reserve stock of this variety 
early. A Brand Division $2.00. 
MIRIAM (Chase, 1916). A splendid rose type Peony of 
a distinct and very pleasing shade of medium pink. 
One of the newer Peonies that is really good. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
MRS. J. H. NEELEY. A very fine pink of splendid form 
that was outstanding in our fields last year. It looks 
to us like a real addition to our list. Both color and 
form are of the best. A Brand Division $10.00. 
MONT BLANC (Lemoine). 8.4. The stocks of this variety 
have been badly confused. Many do not have the genu¬ 
ine. We have incurred much expense to true up our 
stock so we know we have only the genuine. Milk- 
white with center slightly tinted rose. Barge, very 
compact, globular flower, borne on stiff, medium height 
stems. Very fine. A Brand Division $1.50. 
MLLE. LEONIE CALOT (Calot). 8.1. Pink. Typical rose 
type. Very delicate rose-white, center of deeper shad¬ 
ing, slight carmine tips. Fine form, medium height, 
rather spreading habit. Bate midseason. A great fa¬ 
vorite with many. A Brand Division $1.00. 
MME. AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert, 1899). 8.6. Rose. 
Very large flower, semi-rose type. Uniform violet-rose, 
petals slightly flecked crimson. Erect, medium height, 
free bloomer. Early midseason. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MME. DE VERNEVILLE (Crousse). 7.9. White. We feel 
this variety is much underrated. Flower large, very 
full, bomb type. Guard petals sulphur-white; center 
petals rose-white with carmine 1 ouches. Good sub¬ 
stance. Stems long and strong. An ideal cut flower. 
Pleasing fragrance. Comes into bloom after Festiva 
Maxima, and we regard it superior in beauty. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MME. EMILE GALLE (Crousse). 8.5. Pink. Blooms of 
this variety are large, compact, flat rose type. Color, 
delicate sea-shell-pink with touches of heliotrope and 
lavender. Strong, medium tall plant; a free bloomer. 
Extra fine in the bud. Comes into bloom with the very 
late ones of which it is one of the best. Often mistaken 
for Tourangelle. A Brand Division $1.00. 
MME. EMILE LEMOINE (Bemoine). 8.9. White. A rare, 
beautiful Peony; strong grower, free bloomer. Flowers 
very large, uniform in shape and size. Plant rather 
tall with strong, erect stems. Bloom is very perfect in 
form, with large, rounded roselike petals of a tender 
glossy white, overlaid with a sheen of delicate satiny 
pink, covered with tiny dots of deeper pink. Petals of 
great substance. A Brand Division $1.00.
