BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
Excellent Single Peonies 
Plant beautiful single Peonies and prolong the blooming season of this wonderful flower. The Singles 
usually come and go before the Double varieties begin to show color. They hold up well both in wind and 
sun. They survive heavy winds and rains apparently better than the Doubles. You will like any variety in 
our list. 
DARKNESS (Brand 1913). 8.2. Red. 
Large; very dark, maroon with darker 
markings in lower half of petals, sur¬ 
rounding a bold cluster of golden sta¬ 
mens. Tall strong stems. Good bloom¬ 
er. Very early. Ideal for cut flowers 
because of its charming blend of color 
and delightful fragrance. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
FLANDERS FIELDS (A. M. Brand, 1928). 
Red. Ten years ago in one of our seed¬ 
ling beds of many varieties, we noticed 
a most conspicuous red. Even from 20 
rods’ distance, this brilliant color 
stood out from all the others. Every 
year, in every way, it has proven a 
splendid flower. A single of the most 
brilliant red. Two rows of petals sur¬ 
round a large prominent center of 
golden stamens. Petals of great sub¬ 
stance stand out flat; rich and velvety 
in appearance.

KRINKLED WHITE (A. M. Brand 1928) 
White. First noticeable in the bud 
which resembles the bud of a pale 
pink Tulip just ready to burst. The bud is compara¬ 
tively small and beautiful in effect. As it opens, it 
expands into a large flower with great broad pure white 
petals, crinkled like crepe paper. A most beautiful 
effect. Stems tall, straight, slender but strong; clean 
light green. Splendid both as a show flower and field 
flower. Award of merit, Des Moines National Show.

smooth, cupped guards of dark ruby-red; center a 
great tuft of golden stamens with ruddy filaments; 
carpels nearly white. Wild mintlike fragrance. Tall; 
free blooming; bright dark red. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
MELLEN KNIGHT (Brand 1920). Red. Tall, straight grow¬ 
ing; strong enough to hold the flowers well up. Petals 
long, narrow, and evenly rounded on the edges, giving 
a beautiful effect both at close examination and from a 
distance. Color, a bright, rich crimson. Extra 
good. A Brand Division $1.00. 
PERLE BLANCHE (Dessert). 8.4. Large, 
early midseason. Very valuable for 
landscape effect because of its erect 
habit and lovely white flowers in 
beautiful contrast with an immense 
central cushion of golden stamens. 
A Brand Division $2.00.
