BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
For your convenience we have arranged our list of Peonies 
this year according to color, and we offer here the 
Choicest of All RED PEONIES 
ADOLPHE ROUSSEAU (Dessert and Mechin). 8.5. Red. 
One> of the very good early dark reds. The plant is very 
tall and holds its flowers so erect that it makes a fine 
showing. One of the finest of all red Peonies as a land¬ 
scape variety. A great dark flower that looks almost 
black and unusually rich when viewed from a distance. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
BRAND’S MAGNIFICENT (Brand). 8.2. Red. A very 
deep dark red carrying more blue than any other good 
Peony. This variety is noted for its beautiful form, 
prolific bloom, broad symmetrical roselike petals, and 
excellent color. A midseason variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CHERRY HIDE (Thurlow). 8.6. Red. A very tall grow¬ 
ing semi-double bright dark red that is early, and 
splendid as a landscape variety. The color is a deep 
garnet, with a sheen so rich that the variety is very 
noticeable among all other reds. For best effects this 
variety should not be disbudded. Awarded a silver 
medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
Mary Brand. 
COMMANDER (A. M. Brand 1928). Red. An extra large, 
high built flower; very compact. A cone-shaped rose 
type Peony. Color a true self solferino-red. Although 
late, it blooms consistently, which cannot be said of 
most late varieties. After every other red in our fields 
was gone this year, we could still go out and bring in 
excellent flowers of this variety for our show room. 
A real acquisition to our quality list of Brand’s reds. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
DAVID HARUM (Brand). 8.4. Red. The flowers are 
very large with prominent guard petals surrounding a 
great ball of closely packed petals of the same shade. 
The entire flower is an even shade of soft Tyrian rose, 
without stamens. An upright growing plant with very 
strong stems that hold their great blooms erect. One 
of the very best landscape reds. This variety appeared 
in five prize-winning collections at the National Show 
held at Des Moines in 1924. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
EUGENE BIGOT (Dessert). 8.3. Red. In color this Peony 
is a very bright dark red. The blooms are of medium 
size, showing stamens. Very late, in season with Rubra 
Superba. Very desirable as a cut flower red for the 
home market, because of its lateness; yes, one of the 
best late cut flower reds. 
FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse). 8.4. Red. Late. A deep 
rose-red showing no stamens. Consists of a central 
bomb of incurved petals surrounded by broad, promi¬ 
nent guard petals. A good all-purpose red. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
FRANCOIS ROUSSEAU (Dessert). 8.2. Red. An early 
red variety that seems to have been somewhat over¬ 
looked by those who are purchasing the really choice 
red Peonies. It is an exceptionally brilliant red. In the 
show room its color is so intense as to cause it to stand 
out among all the reds. Every lover of a good red 
Peony should have Francois Rousseau. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
KARL ROSENFIELD (Rosenfield). 8.8. Red. A brilliant 
and striking variety, coming into bloom early mid¬ 
season. Flowers very large, semi-rose type, and slight¬ 
ly fragrant. Desirable as a cut flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
LONGFELLOW (Brand). 9.0. Red. Everyone concedes 
Longfellow one of the most popular red Peonies be¬ 
cause of its distinct, fadeless color and general de¬ 
pendability, both for cutting and garden decoration. 
It is as striking in the field as in the show room. It 
comes into bloom early midseason. The plant has ex¬ 
cellent foliage and strong, stiff stems. The flower is a 
bright crimson and is always found among the winning 
Cl8.SSGS 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
LORA DEXHEIMER (Brand). 8.4. Red. To us, the 
splendid habit and brilliant color of this plant have ex¬ 
ceptional merit. We first selected it from the seed bed 
in 1904. Each succeeding year it has grown in our 
esteem. Color, intense flaming crimson. Early mid¬ 
season. A variety that ranks with Longfellow. From 
all parts of the country, we have reports of the won¬ 
derful qualities of Lora Dexheimer. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MARY BRAND (Brand). 8.7. No red Peony ever won 
favor so quickly as Mary Brand. Always found among 
the winning reds in every show room. Comes into 
bloom with Frances Willard. Color so distinct, it is 
easily recognized by amateurs, no matter how often 
they see it in our fields. A rose type Peony showing 
stamens. A red in which there is little trace of purple. 
One of the most satisfactory reds as a cut flower as it 
will last a week and hold right up stiff, if cut in the
