AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert). 8.7. A large midseason 
rose-red, with large round petals, each edged with a 
distinct, narrow silver border. Plant of medium height 
and a prolific bloomer. A brilliant light red that is 
very distinct in color and form and a most desirable 
sort. A Brand Division $3.00. 
BALL O' COTTON (Franklin). 8.8. White. Late mid¬ 
season. This is an outstanding fragrant white. It is 
an excellent show flower and is also a good garden 
variety. The plant is of medium height with strong 
stems and good foliage. One of the very best of the 
new white Peonies. Won first over all whites on a vase 
of 20 splendid specimens at the Northwest Peony show 
in 1927. A Brand Division $3.00. 
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. 
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (Brand). 8.1. Red. A tall dark 
red resembling Adolphe Rousseau in color and form. 
A profuse bloomer. Stems strong, usually carrying 
one flower to the stem. A wonderful landscape variety.

midseason. A Brand Division $1.00. 
BETTY BIrOSSOM (Thurlow). 8.9. Soft yellow. Guard 
petals faintly tinted yellow with center petals clear 
white intermixed with a collar of short narrow stami- 
nodes heavily edged yellow, giving the entire flower a 
soft yellow effect. Late midseason. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
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.
