BRAND'S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
3 
RED PEONIES—Continued. 
MIDNIGHT (Brand). 7.3. Dark red. Often called the 
“BLACK PEONY’’—it is almost as dark as Mons. Mar¬ 
tin Cahuzac, considered the darkest red. Medium early, 
preceding- Longfellow. Flowers are large and borne on 
long, stiff stems. For a very dark red Peony, order this 
variety. A Brand Divison $1.00. 
MONS. MARTIN CAHUZAC (Dessert). 8.8. A shade 
darker than Midnight or Prince of Darkness. If you 
wish the darkest red Peony grown, order this one. 
Flowers medium to large, rose type, with stamens. 
Color a deep maroon-red. One of the most earnestly 
sought Peonies. A Brand Division $1.50. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA. 8.6. Red. Large, round bloom 
of vivid crimson. The deep bright red Peony of olden 
times. Earliest of all good Peonies. Very desirable in 
this latitude; often in bloom on Memorial Day. The 
red “piney” of our grandmother’s gardens. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Riviere). 9.2. Red. Very fine 
bright crimson. Beautiful form, splendid in plant 
growth; most fragrant of the reds. Midseason. A fine 
show flower. No stamens. Most distinct in color of all 
the reds; not bright likei Mary Brand or Longfellow yet 
it shows an absence of the purple which is so objec¬ 
tionable to some. The extremely beautiful form and 
uniform soft color make a flower loved by all who see 
it. The true stock is very scarce; much spurious stock 
is on the market but ours is absolutely true. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
RICHARD CARVEL (Brand). 8.8. Red. An early crim¬ 
son 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 fa¬ 
vorite. The demand is increasing so rapidly, we advise 
you to order early. A single plant on the lawn is at¬ 
tractive and delightful, beautiful and lasting. A valu¬ 
able cut flower. The best of all early dark reds. Un¬ 
like most reds, the odor is pleasant and pronounced, 
a very rare quality in the reds. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
VICTOIRE DE LA MARNE (Dessert). 8.2. Red. Mid¬ 
season; 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. 
Note. —The above Peony is a distinct red. If compared 
with Mary Brand it is a deep rose-pink. If compared 
with Walter Faxon it is a red. 
WINNIPRED DOMME (Brand). 8.3. Scarlet-red. No 
matter how many good reds you have, you will still 
want Winnifred Domme. Unlike most reds, it has prac¬ 
tically no purple; the nearest scarlet of all Peonies. 
The plant is dwarfish, but stems are strong and erect, 
each producing a single bloom. A most excellent red 
to use as a border plant. A Brand Division $1.00. 
Remember we prepay charges on all peony roots 
within the United States where order amounts to 
$3.00 or more. 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA 
The Fern Leaf Peony 
The earliest double to bloom. 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. Tenuifolia 
should always be carefully mulched the first win¬ 
ter after planting. Plant as early in the fall as 
practicable. Very scarce. We have but a small 
stock to spare this fall. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
Le Cygne. 
Outstanding 
WHITE PEONIES 
Every One Will Surely Please. 
ARGENTINE (Bemoine). 8.6. A late midseason globular 
white, with symmetrically arranged petals of splendid 
substance. Fragrance pronounced and good. A very high 
class white that we personally think the best new Peony 
from Eflrope in recent years. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
AVALANCHE (Crousse). 8.7. White. A late midseason va¬ 
riety. The flower is cone-shaped and makes a splendid 
show flower. The blossom develops a distinct creamy 
white flower, surrounding a center of delicately tinted 
lilac-white petals with a few showing traces of carmine. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
BARONESS SCHROEDER (Kelway). 9.0. White. This is 
considered one of the finest Peonies grown. When the last 
symposium was taken, this variety received a rating of 
9.0 after 79 people had voted. When the buds first open, 
they are a delicate blush, but the flower soon fades to a 
milky white. This is a variety that should be found in 
every collection. It comes into bloom late, after most of 
the white Peonies are gone. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
COURONNE D’OR (Calot). 8.1. A most dependable white. 
Outer petals a pure white; then a ring of yellow stamens 
surrounding a tuft of center petals, tipped carmine. A late 
white coming into bloom just before Marie Lemoine. 
A Brand Division $1.00.
