BRAND'S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
White Peonies 
DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS (Calot). 8.1. Creamy white. An 
early almost pure white with shadings of green at the 
base of the petals. A good flower. Plant medium tall; 
stems strong and erect; excellent foliage. Dependable 
and profuse bloomer. A Brand Division $1.00. 
E. B. BROWNING (Brand). 9.1. White. A very late white 
coming into bloom with Marie Lemoine. The buds of 
this variety are often as large as the entire blooms of 
other fair sized Peonies. The bud opens slowly, and as 
the petals unfold, a delicate pink coloring appears; the 
inner surface of the petals being washed with the most 
delicate pinkish canary. The perfume of the flower is 
strong and sweet, the variety is so late that it is not 
always seen in Peony shows. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
ENCHANTERESSE (Lemoine). 8.9. White. A charming very 
late white. An excellent show flower. Prolong your 
blooming season by adding this excellent variety to 
your list. We understand that this is not a good flower 
for the South, as it is very late and does not open well, 
but the farther north it is grown, the better it becomes. 
As grown with us, it is rated far too low. It is surely 
entitled to a rating of 9.2. A splendid pure white. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
FESTIVA MAXIMA (Meillez). 9.3. White. Early. This is the 
oldest of our really good Peonies. The blossom is true 
rose type with broad guard petals surrounding a com¬ 
pact inner mass of rich white petals flecked crimson. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
JUBILEE (Pleas). 8.9. White. Very large, flat, ivory-white 
flowers. Petals long, narrow, and loosely arranged, 
producing a very attractive feathery effect. Everyone 
familiar with Peonies knows that Jubilee is a fine flow¬ 
er. Its only defect is a weak stem, yet one can well 
afford to support such a beautiful flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
ALSACE-LORRAINE (Lemoine). 8.8. A late midseason. 
Creamy white. A dainty and refined flower of beautiful 
form. Color, a rich creamy white with a suggestion of 
brownish yellow at the base of the petals similar to 
Solange. When well grown this is one of the most 
beautiful and refined of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
BALL O' COTTON (Franklin). 8.8. W’hite. Late midseason. 
This is an outstanding fragrant white. It is an excel¬ 
lent 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 speci¬ 
mens at the Northwest Peony show in 1927. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
Solange. 
RED PEONIES—Continued 
RICHARD CARVEL (Brand). 8.8. Red. An early crimson 
parallel to the pink Mons. Jules Elie. With its extra 
early blooming qualities, large size, and splendid habits, 
this variety is already a well-established favorite. A 
valuable cut flower. The best of all early dark reds. 
Unlike most reds, the odor is pleasant and pronounced, 
a very rare quality in the reds. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
RUBRA SUPERBA. (Richardson). 7.2. Red. This variety 
comes into bloom very late after most of the other 
reds are gone. The flowers are fragrant, and do not 
show stamens. It is one of the best keepers of the late 
varieties. A Brand Division $1.00. 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA. Next earliest to bloom. A dou¬ 
ble. Very brilliant crimson. Finely cut foliage, so much 
like that of the Cosmos. Every season we receive 
numerous requests for the name of this flower. Tenui- 
folia should always be carefully mulched the first win¬ 
ter after planting. Plant as early in the fall as prac¬ 
ticable. Very scarce. We have but a small stock to 
spare this fall. This variety was in full bloom here in 
our fields on May 25th. A Brand Division $3.00. 
VICTOIRE DE LA MARNE (Dessert). 8.2. Red. Midseason; a 
large, globular flower; brilliant dark crimson with a 
silver reflex; intense in color, very striking. A loosely 
formed flower with strong, vigorous stems. No matter 
what critics may say of the color, this flower is one 
that always attracts much attention both in the field 
and show room; it is almost universally admired. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
KELWAY'S GLORIOUS (Kelway). 9.8. White. Midseason. Al¬ 
though not as symmetrical as Le Cygne, we believe this 
wonderful variety is fully as good and deserves as high 
a rating. Immense blooms with very long petals, so 
arranged that the entire bloom resembles a great 
downy ball of the most exquisite, delicate, snow white 
lace. For a Peony of great size, probably no other can 
exhibit such perfection of beauty. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
LA ROSIERE (Crousse). 8.3. White. Large flowers in clus¬ 
ters; straw yellow at the center, shading to a creamy 
white border—this is indeed a striking variety. Pleas¬ 
ing fragrance. The flower is loose, showing a band of 
yellow stamens which light up the flower with a yel¬ 
lowish cast. 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 touches. Good substance. 
Stems, long and strong. An ideal cut flower. Pleasing 
fragrance. Comes into bloom after Festiva Maxima. 
A Brand Division $1.00.
