BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
Good Single Peonies 
Few people are familiar with the beauty of the single 
Peony. For both house decoration and garden effects, the 
single Peony has an artistic value different from the 
double form. The main bud opens first; but before it has 
passed its prime the lateral buds also open, making the 
plant a mass of bloom. They come into bloom at least 
a week before the earliest doubles. This lengthens the 
Peony blooming season. We have greatly reduced our 
prices on singles, and we now offer the very best of the 
single varieties at low prices. 
HOGARTH (G. & K.). A tall, vigorous plant producing 
in great numbers very large lavender-pink, single flow¬ 
ers of splendid form and substance. The great blooms 
are held well erect. A very fine single. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
KRINKLED WHITE (A. M. Brand, 1928). White. First 
noticeable in the bud which resembles the bud of a 
pale pink Tulip just ready to burst. The bud is com¬ 
paratively small and beautiful in effect. As it opens, 
it expands into a large flower with great broad, pure 
white petals, crinkled like crepe paper. Stems tall, 
straight, slender but strong; clean light green. Award 
of merit, Des Moines National Show. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
ALBIFLORA (The Bride). (Dessert, 1902). 8.4. White.

early. Free blooming in clusters.

DARKNESS (Brand, 1913). 8.2. Red. Large; very dark 
maroon with darker markings in lower half of petals, 
surrounding a bold cluster of golden stamens, 'fall, 
strong stems. Good bloomer. Very early.

DEPARTING SUN. Red. There are two Peonies of this 
name; one a single, the other a Japanese. This is the 
single. A bright attractive red. The petals, of great 
substance, hold up well after cutting. Very striking. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
EDITH WEST (Brand, 1920). White. Resembles Albiflora 
but comes into bloom later. The flower is not <iuite as 
large but the petals have more substance than Albi- 
flora and better plant habit. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
FLANDERS FIELDS (A. M. Brand, 1928). Red. Ten years 
ago in one of our seedling beds of many varie ies, we 
noticed a most conspicuous red. Even from 20 rods’ 
distance, this brilliant color stood out from all the 
others. Every year, in every way, it has proven a splen¬ 
did flower. A single of the most brilliant red. Two 
rows of petals surround a large prominent ct nter of 
golden stamens. Petals of great substance stand out 
flat; rich and velvety in appearance. 
A Brand Division $5.00.

Gray. Central tuft of golden stamens. Very desirable.

MELLEN KNIGHT (Brand, 1920). Red. Tall, straight 
growing; strong enough to hold the flowers well up. 
Petals long, narrow, and evenly rounded on the edges, 
giving a beautiful effect both at close examination and 
from a distance. Color a bright rich crimson. Extra 
good. 
A Brand Division $1.00.
