BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
WHITE PEONIES—Continued 
NYMPHAEA (Thurlow). 8.8. White. Large flat flowers with 
wide, silky petals of delicate creamy white, notched at 
tips, edges somewhat rolled; yellow stamens in center re¬ 
flect a golden light throughout. Fragrant. Midseason. Re¬ 
mindful of a waterlily only much larger and more beauti¬ 
ful than any waterlily we have ever seen. Very refined; 
a real addition to our growing list of good peonies. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
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. 
PERRETTE (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. 
SOLANGE (Lemoine). 9.7. Cream-white, with a suffusion of 
buff and pale salmon-pink; medium height; moderately 
floriferous; one of the most sought-after of all peonies. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
Yellow Peonies 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert). 8.8. Yellow. This Peony, Prime- 
vere and Fanny Crosby, are the three finest yellow Peonies. 
The flower is round, of rose type. Guard petals creamy 
white, enclosing a domelike center of pure canary-yellow. 
Like Fanny Crosby, the plant is an upright grower, hold¬ 
ing blossoms erect for good landscape value. Like all 
yellows, it must be developed inside away from the sun to 
preserve its color. Early midseason. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
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. 
FANNY CROSBY (Brand). Another very fine yellow but we 
cannot offer it until fall of 1935. 
Primevere, 
Pink Peonies 
ARCHIE BRAND (Brand). 7.5. Pink. Large, round, full 
rose-type blossoms of an even shade of seashell-pink. 
Foliage and stems are light green, very clean in ap¬ 
pearance. The buds, as they develop, are very attrac¬ 
tive, enormous in size; beautiful as they open. Petals 
of good length are banked compactly with four distinct 
corners to the bloom—a very pleasing effect. As the 
guards fall away they leave a great round ball of bloom 
in the center. Does best on clay soil. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
ASA GRAY (Crousse). 8.1. Pink. Properly grown in suit¬ 
able soil, this is a beautiful peony. Thrives best in 
heavy dark loams. Flowers are large, of true rose- 
type. Guard petals are salmon-pink, thickly marked 
with minute specks of deeper pink. Easy to identify. 
A prolific bloomer. Fragrant. A Brand Division $1.00. 
AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert). 8.7. Deep pink. Among Des¬ 
sert’s latest peonies, this is one of his finest; regarded 
by the originator as worthy of his own name. He gives 
this description: “Flower cup-shaped of fine form, 
with rounded petals, very brilliant, velvety crimson, 
carmine, with silvery reflex and often streaked white; 
very large silvery border; visible stamens intermixed 
with the petals in many flowers. A superb variety, 
awarded certificate of merit at the Paris show, June 2. 
1920.” A Brand Division $3.00. 
CLAIRE BUBOIS (Crousse). 8.7. Pink. A late flower, of im¬ 
mense globular form, with long incurved petals of a 
uniform shade of clear violet rose, tipped silvery white. 
It has that same wonderful attractiveness possessed 
by Mons. Jules Elie. They are much the same in color 
but Claire Dubois is late where Mons. Jules Elie is 
early. The best cut flower of its color in its season. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 9.1. Pink. We think that . 
this is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best Peonies. A very late 
variety with heavy stems and excellent foliage. It 
opens a decided pink but gradually fades to an almost 
pure white with a greenish tint at the base of the 
petals. A Brand Division $5.00. 
EDULUS SUPERBA. 7.6. Pink. This is the first good early 
deep pink. It sometimes opens for Decoration Day with 
us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne profusely 
on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a 
beautiful deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut 
flowers in its color and season. A Brand Division $1.00.
