BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
Descriptive List of Brand's Newest Peonies 
BLANCHE KING (A. M. Brand 1925). Deep pink. 
Peony lovers have been constantly searching 
for a good, deep, late pink. We have now 
found this flower in Blanche King. This new 
variety is of wonderful size, symmetrical, and 
of true rose type. It is a glowing deep pink 
that holds its color in the field and also devel¬ 
ops into a wonderful show flower. This variety 
was first exhibited at the National Peony 
Show held in London, Ont., Canada, in 1922. 
Here it received an award of merit and at¬ 
tracted a great deal of attention. In 1933 we 
again exhibited this variety at the St. Paul 
show. Here Blanche King was very much in 
evidence and was awarded the prize for the 
best flower at the show and also won first in 
a class of twenty best dark pinks. 
A Brand Division, $5.00. 
ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. 
Pink. Although not so deep a pink as Blanche 
King, Ella Christiansen is so distinct from the 
delicate pinks in coloring as to be a real ac¬ 
quisition. The flower is exceedingly large, 
both on the plant in the field and when handled 
as a cut flower. As a bloomer, it is probably 
the most profuse of this exclusive list. Petals 
are long, narrow, and heavily serrated on the 
edges. The flower first opens cup-shaped, 
then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Chris¬ 
tiansen receives the unbounded praise of 
every visitor. We like it better every year. 
Blanche King. A Brand Division, $5.00. 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand). Too new to be rated. 
Pink. Large and peculiarly beautiful in formation. The 
broad guards and half of the petals turn outward, grace¬ 
fully downward, then up. Next is a distinct band of golden 
stamens as in Phyllis Kelway. Lighting up the entire 
flower, these stamens enclose a rosebud, cup-shaped center 
of large incurving petals. Color a Walter Faxon pink. 
Magnificent in the show room; holds up well as a cut 
flower; beautiful in the field. Among the five or six best 
seedlings we ever produced. A Brand Division $5.00. 
MRS. HARRIET GENTRY (A. M. Brand 1925). White. One 
of the most refined flowers in the list. Another white of 
most perfect rose type. Petals very large, of the purest glis¬ 
tening white, arranged in wonderful perfection. Mrs. Harriet 
Gentry invariably blooms well with flowers of utmost beauty 
and we heartily recommend it. A Brand Division $5.00. 
MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. Pink. The 
flower that claimed everyone’s attention the third day of the 
St. Paul-Minneapolis show. On the first day the buds taken 
to this show just started to open; the second day they were 
about half out; the third day they w T ere in full bloom—the 
most remarkable vase of Peonies in the whole vast room. 
Color a violet-rose with distinct lavender cast. Petals long, 
broad, pointed, of great substance. Pleasing and perfect 
in form—a wonderful flower of true, rose type. Very late; 
fragrant. Took first prize as the best flower in the entire 
show, 1928 Northwest Peony and Iris Show. 
A Brand Division $5.00.

HAZEL KINNEY (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. Deli¬ 
cate pink. I can still remember this beautiful 
flower as it appeared on the plant the first 
time. The form was so superb and the color 
so pure; it impressed us at once as a flower 
of great promise, which it since has proved. 
A great show flower when displayed along¬ 
side the very best. True rose type. Color a 
delicate clear hydrangea-pink. Medium height 
plant; clean, light green foliage; late mid¬ 
season; a prolific bloomer. 
A Brand Division, $5.00.
