BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
PINK PEONIES—Continued 
MARTHA BULLOCH (Brand). 9.1. Pink. Very tall, very 
large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. We must 
judge Peonies not alone by individual taste but by per¬ 
formance over a long period. The great Peonies receive 
the awards at the large shows. The Northwest Feony 
Show is staged alternate years in St. Paul and Minne¬ 
apolis. Outside of the National Show, it is the largest 
Peony Show in America, taken year after year. Here 
Peonies from all varieties are shown at their best by 
expert showmen. The class that brings out the best 
flowers is the class that calls for ten vases, one each 
of ten varieties, three blooms to a vase. Into this class 
go the ten best vases of each exhibitor. Martha Bul¬ 
loch is almost invariably in the exhibit that wins first. 
Bright old-rose-pink; center of lighter rose, and pink. 
Roselike fragrance. Tall, straight stems. Immense 
blooms. The most beautiful Peony of its size. Illustrat¬ 
ed on page 7. A Brand Division $2.00. 
MARY WOODBURY SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 9.0. Pink. A very 
large flower of most refined beauty, borne erect on very 
strong, dwarfish stems. Outer petals are a delicate 
light shell-pink; central petals a yellowish creamy 
white tinted salmon. Very fragrant; a most beautiful 
sort. Midseason. A Brand Division $2.00. 
MILTON HILL (Richardson). 9.0. Pink. A very beautiful 
flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resembling 
Walter Faxon. Seen in the show room in first class 
form, this variety is impossible to beat in its color. It 
received a rating of 9.0 with sixty-three voting. We 
can never supply the demand for roots. To obtain 
Milton Hill, you should reserve stock of this variety 
early. A Brand Division $2.00. 
MLLE. LEONIE CALOT (Calot). 8.1. Pink. Typical rose type. 
Very delicate rose-white, center of deeper shading, 
slight carmine tips. Fine form, medium height, rather 
spreading habit. Late midseason. A great favorite 
with many. A Brand Division $1.00. 
MME. EMILE GALLE (Crousse). 8.5. Fink. Blooms of this 
variety are large, compact, flat rose type. Color, deli¬ 
cate seashell-pink with touches of heliotrope and lav¬ 
ender. Strong, medium tall plant; a free bloomer. Ex¬ 
tra fine in the bud. Comes into bloom with the very 
late ones of which it is one of the best. Often mistaken 
for Tourangelle. A Brand Division $1.00. 
MONS. JULES ELIE (Crousse). 9.3. One of the largest, 
most beautiful Peonies; in fact, the largest of 
the globe type varieties. An immense self- 
colored flesh-pink, shading k trifle deeper 
toward the base of petals. Great prominent 
broad guard petals enclose an immense ball 
of incurved narrow petals of the same color, 
all covered with an intense silvery sheen. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MRS. SHAYLOR FORCE (Shaylor). 9.0. A very 
large, midseason, creamy white with a faint 
glow of pale lemon at base of petals. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
stems. Color much like Walter Faxon and Souv. de 
Louis Bigot only more brilliant with shadings more 
marked. A much better plant and performer in the 
field than either. A Brand Division $3.00. 
ROSETTE (Dessert). 8.8. Pink. Pretty flower of fine shape 
like a Captain Christy rose, silvery flesh shading to a 
salmon at base of petals and flecked crimson on the 
edges. A splendid variety of erect habit. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
SARAH BERNHARDT (Lemoine). 9.0. Pink. Another variety 
that prevails in the show room. So well known, it 
seems unnecessary to say that it should be in every 
garden. Semi-rose type. Late midseason. Color, apple- 
blossom-pink with each petal silver tipped. Agreeable 
fragrance. A Brand Division $1.00. 
SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert). 9.1. Salmon-pink. 
Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the 
base, turning to a salmon-pink. Resembles Walter 
Faxon in color but stands up much better in the field. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert). 9.4. Pink. Rose type; late mid¬ 
season; a vigorous grower, bearing large high-built 
flowers with cupped centers. Color delicate pearly 
white, suffused with shades of delicate salmon and 
La France rose. In discussing which are the very best 
Peonies, we never hesitate to place this one among 
them. A Brand Division $1.50. 
WALTER FAXON (Richardson). 9.3. Pink. A remarkable 
flower; at its best in the show room. Cut in the bud, 
held in a dark cool room for a day or two, then brought 
into the light, it develops as a flower of wonderful 
coloring and exquisite beauty. Color the most vivid of 
all pinks, the only “real pink’’ as someone has said. 
To anyone acquainted with its color, a mere glance 
over the show room will disclose every vase of this 
beautiful flower. Flowers medium size, attractive in 
form. In the fields it does not hold up as well as Souv. 
de Louis Bigot, to which it is similar in color. Unique 
for show purposes or home decoration. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
W. F. CHRISTMAN (Franklin). 8.8. Pink. A beautiful flesh- 
pink. Flowers of fine form, rose type, very large, and 
double. Fragrant. A Brand Division $1.00. 
PETER PAN (Hollis, 1907). 8.6. Double type; 
large; late. Irregularly cupped flowers 
of bright old rose, opening flat, showing 
a fluffy center of yellow stamens mixed 
with long, shaggy petals, a few of which 
are edged red; moderate rose fragrance. 
Average height; fioriferous; stiff, wiry 
stems. Foliage small and glossy. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PIERRE DUCHARTRE (Crosse). 8.2. Fink. Beauti¬ 
fully formed globular flower, often mistaken 
for La France. Beautiful symmetrical form with great 
broad rounded petals; true rose type. Color a pale 
lilac-flesh with glossy reflex, bordered with silver. We 
have always felt this Peony was not being fully ap¬ 
preciated and we believe it is much underrated. It is 
in a class with Reine Hortense, Livingstone. La Perle, 
etc. A Brand Division $1.00 
PRESIDENT WILSON (Thurlow). 9.3. Pir.k. A large flower, 
on very stout stems of medium length. A very pleas¬ 
ing soft pink changing to shell-pink, the guards some¬ 
times showing crimson markings. Asked to examine a 
private show of wonderful Peonies staged by Mr. 
E C. Shaw, I was asked to pick out the best vase of 
flowers without looking at the labels; and my choice 
was a vase of President Wilson. One of the great 
Peonies. A Brand Division $3.00. 
RAOUL DESSERT (Dessert). 9.0. Pink. Large, globular, 
high built, with long broad petals. Flowers perfect in 
form with pleasing fragrance are borne on tall stout 
Walter Faxon.
