BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
MME. GAUDICHAU (Millet). 8.8. Red. Strictly a first 
class red. Very dark crimson, it resembles M. Martin 
Cahuzac, although it’s a much prettier plant. Flowers 
are large, loose, and stand the sun remarkably well. 
Rate midseason. Stems are red; foliage both in the 
spring and again in the fall is of dark reddish color. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
MME. JULES DESSERT (Dessert). 9.4. Pink. One of 
the finest of all Peonies—flowers very large, well 
formed, with long, broad petals. Blooms held rigidly 
erect on good straight stems of medium height. Color 
a creamy white, lighted with buff and salmon shades. 
A few golden stamens appear to beautify an already 
beautiful flower. Always among the main prize win¬ 
ners at the great shows. A Brand Division $1.50. 
MONSIEUR DUPONT (Calot). 8.3. One of the old stand¬ 
ard Peonies, always desirable. A glistening ivory 
white, with center petals bordered with carmine. Gold¬ 
en stamens mingled with the petals throughout the 
flower. Deliciously fragrant, wonderfully prolific, a 
consistent bloomer. Appears just before Couronne d’Or. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MONS. JULES ELIE (Crousse). 9.3. One of the largest, 
most beautiful Peonies; in fact, the largest of the 
globe type varieties. An immense self colored flesh- 
pink, shading a trifle deeper toward the base of petals. 
Great prominent broad guard petals enclose an im¬ 
mense ball of incurved narrow petals of the same color, 
all covered with an intense silvery sheen. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MONS. MARTIN CAHUZAC (Dessert). 8.8. A shade 
darker than Midnight or Prince of Darkness. If you 
wish the darkest red Peony grown, order this one. 
Flowers medium to large, rose type, with stamens. 
Color a deep maroon-red. One of the most earnestly 
sought Peonies. A Brand Division $1.50. 
MRS. A. G. RUGGLES (Brand). 8.3. Pink. Resembles 
Therese. When grown in the same row and in bloom 
at the same time, critical visitors have taken all the 
plants for Therese. Mrs. A. G. Ruggles should be dis¬ 
budded to give the best blooms. In an occasional year, 
this variety is disappointing; then other years it is 
simply wonderful. In 1926 it was the finest flower in 
our entire fields. A Brand Division $1.50. 
MRS. SHAYLCR FORCE (Shaylor). 9.0. A very large, 
midseason, creamy white with a faint glow of pale 
lemon at base of petals. A Brand Division $2.50. 
NANCY DOLMAN (Vories). 9.1. Rose-pink. Large, late, 
rose-pink with fluffy petals, becoming pinkish white in 
center. Plant tall, robust, and floriferous. Stems strong 
and foliage good. A Brand Division $5.00. 
Sarah Bernhardt. 
ODILE (Doriat). A new variety sent out by Doriat. In 
coloring it resembles Tourangelle, but a much better 
grower. An extra fine new one. 
A Brand Division $10.00. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA. 8.6. Red. Large, round bloom 
of vivid crimson. The deep bright red Peony of olden 
times. Earliest of all good Peonies. Very desirable in 
this latitude; often in bloom on Memorial Day. The 
red “piney” of our grandmothers’ gardens. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
OPAL (Pleas). 8.5. Pink. Guard petals a delicate pink, 
fading to white; the center is opal-pink. Tall vigorous 
plant; profuse bloomer. One of the daintiest and most 
beautiful of all Pleas’ Peonies. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PARADISE (Hollis). 8.7. Very large, compact flat rose 
type. Guard petals hydrangea-pink. Center lilac-white 
fading to milk-white. Fragrant. Medium tall. Free 
bloomer. Early midseason. A Brand Division $2.00. 
FERETTE (Dessert). 8.3. White. A beautiful flower 
borne in clusters. White, slightly tinged flesh and 
straw-yellow. Pleasing fragrance. A variety that must 
be seen to be appreciated. A Brand Division $2.00. 
PETER PAN (Hollis, 1907). 8.6. Double type; large; late. 
Irregularly cupped flowers of bright old rose, open¬ 
ing flat, showing a fluffy center of yellow stamens 
mixed with long, shaggy petals, a few of which are 
edged red; moderate rose fragrance. Average height; 
floriferous; stiff, wiry stems. Foliage small and glossy. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Rivoire). 9.2. Red. Very fine 
bright crimson. Beautiful form, splendid in plant 
growth; most fragrant of the reds. Midseason. A fine 
show flower. No stamens. Most distinct in color of 
all the reds; not bright like Mary Brand or Longfellow 
yet it shows an absence of the purple which is so ob¬ 
jectionable to some. The extremely beautiful form and 
uniform soft color make a flower loved by all who 
see it. The true stock is very scarce; much spurious 
stock is on the market but ours is absolutely true. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
PHOEBE CARY (Brand). 8.8. Pink. Much like Martha 
Bulloch. Introduced in 1907, it met such quick demand 
that our stock was almost gone before toe knew. What 
we had for sale last year was gone before the season 
was over, and we were obliged to refund on late orders. 
A true rose type. Petals large, broad, of good sub¬ 
stance, slightly cupped. Color a beautiful rose-pink 
with center slightly deeper in shade. Pleasing fra¬ 
grance. Late in season with Marie Lemoine. Tall 
plant; abundant clean, light green foliage. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
PHYLLIS KELWAY (Kelway). 8.8. Pink. Very large, 
loosely built, of the most exquisite beauty. Color deep 
lavender flesh with long rays of lighter lavender play¬ 
ing the length of the petals through the deeper colors. 
A row of broad petals surrounds a loosely built cup¬ 
shaped center of long narrow petals intermingled with 
conspicuous yellow stamens. Long, stiff stems hold 
blossoms erect—a gorgeous beauty in the rays of sun¬ 
light—one of the most brilliant and striking Peonies 
in the list. A Brand Division $4.00. 
PIERRE DUCHARTRE (Crousse.) 8.2. Pink. Beauti¬ 
fully formed globular flower, often mistaken for La 
France. Beautiful symmetrical form with great broad 
rounded petals; true rose type. Color a pale lilac-flesh 
with glossy reflex, bordered with silver. We have al¬ 
ways felt this Peony was not being fully appreciated 
and we believe it is much underrated. It is in a class 
with Reine Hortense, Livingstone, La Perle, etc. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PRESIDENT WILSON (Thurlow). 9.3. Pink. A large 
flower, on very stout stems of medium length. A very 
pleasing soft pink changing to shell-pink, the guards 
sometimes showing crimson markings. Asked to ex¬ 
amine a private show of wonderful Peonies staged by 
Mr. E. C. Shaw, I was asked to pick out the best vase 
of flowers without looking at the labels; and my choice 
was a vase of President Wilson. One of the great 
Peonies. A Brand Division $5.00. 
PRIDE OF ESSEX (Thurlow). 8.9. A delicate light 
pink, blooming in midseason. Tall plant, vigorous and 
free blooming. Large, loose, rose type flower—a very 
fine variety. A Brand Division $2.00. 
PRIDE OF PAULDING (Neeley 1920). 8.6. A rich flesh- 
pink creamy in the collar and all petals slightly green¬ 
ish at the base, strong heavy stems. Fragrant. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
PRIMEVERE (Lemoine). 8.6. A fine yellow Peony. 
Guard petals creamy white, enclosing a central ball of 
sulphur-yellow. If cut in the bud, as it begins to open, 
so the flower may develop away from the sun, it will 
hold a clear yellow color, very beautiful. 
A Brand Division $1.50.
