BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
DUCEESSE DE NEMOURS (Calot). 8.1. Creamy white. 
An early almost pure white with shadings of green at 
the base of the petals. A good flower. Plant medium 
tall; stems strong and erect; excellent foliage. Depend¬ 
able and profuse bloomer. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
JAMES KELWAY (Kelway). 8.7. White. This variety 
received a rating of 8.7 when the last symposium was 
taken, after 49 people had voted. This fact, alone, 
places it among the good varieties. The flower is very 
large, loose and semi-rose in type. It opens a rose- 
white changing to milk-white with base of the petals 
tinged yellow. The fragrance is strong and pleasing. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
JUBIIiEE (Pleas). 8.9. White. Very large, flat, ivory- 
white flowers. Petals long, narrow and loosely ar¬ 
ranged, producing a very attractive feathery effect. 
Everyone familiar with Peonies knows that Jubilee is 
a fine flower. Its only defect is a weak stem, yet one 
can well afford to support such a beautiful flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
KELWAY’S GLORIOUS (Kelway). 9.8. White. Midsea¬ 
son. Although not as symmetrical as Le Cygne, we 
believe this wonderful variety is fully as good and de¬ 
serves as high a rating. Immense blooms with very 
long petals, so arranged that the entire bloom resem¬ 
bles a great downy ball of the most exquisite, delicate, 
snow-white lace. For a Peony of great size, probably 
no other can exhibit such perfection of beauty. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
LA LORRAINE (Lemoine). 8.6. Pink. A large flower, 
nicely rounded, with great broad petals beautifully ar¬ 
ranged. Color, a soft even shade of creamy pink. In 
our opinion, this flower is not fully appreciated, for it 
is one of the choicest of all Peonies and should rate 
well above 9.0. From our first observation of the 
flower, this has been our constant impression. When 
shown together with magnificent blooms of Le Cygne, 
Therese, Kelway’s Glorious and Mme. Jules Dessert, 
we have seen blooms of La Lorraine which showed up 
equally beautiful; and we think it is just as good a 
flower. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
LA ROSIERE (Crousse). 8.3. White. Large flowers in 
clusters; straw-yellow at the center, shading to a 
creamy white border—this is indeed a striking variety. 
Pleasing fragrance. The flower is loose, showing a 
band of yellow stamens which light up the flower with 
a yellowish cast. 
WHITE PEONIES)—Continued. 
E. B. BROWNING (Brand). 9.1. White. A very late 
white coming into bloom with Marie Lemoine. The 
buds of this variety are often as large as the entire 
blooms of other fair-sized Peonies. The bud opens 
slowly, and as the petals unfold, a delicate pink color¬ 
ing appears; the inner surface of the petals being 
washed with the most delicate pinkish canary. The 
. perfume of the flowers is strong and sweet. The va¬ 
riety is so late that it is not always seen in Peony 
shows. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
ENCHANTERESSE (Lemoine). 8.9. White. A 
charming very late white. An excellent show 
flower. Prolong your blooming season by add¬ 
ing this excellent variety to your list. We un- i 
derstand that this is not a good flower for the 
South, as it is very late and does not open 
well, but the farther north it is grown, the 
better it becomes. As grown with us, it is rated 
far too low. It is surely entitled to a rating 
of 9.2. A splendid pure white. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PRANCES WILLARD (Brand). 9.1. White. 
Frances Willard is a very fine white which we 
believe gives universal satisfaction. It opens 
an exquisite blush-white, occasionally with a 
carmine touch, changing pure white. Usually 
found in the winning classes in every show 
room. Midseason, comes into bloom with Mary 
Brand. [A gorgeous Peony named for a great 
woman.] 
A Brand Division $1.50.

MARIE JACQUIN (Verdier). 8.3. White. A midseason 
flower with purest white guards; then a collar of yel¬ 
low stamens surrounding a row of shorter pure white 
petals, then a tuft of yellow stamens, giving the flower 
a pronounced waterlily effect. One of the most dainty 
Peonies in the list. The stems are erect, a clean, light 
green, as is also the foliage. The flower is semi-double, 
held perfectly erect, and on young plants it often 
comes a beautiful single. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MRS. A. M. BRAND (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.6. Pure white. 
When this flower was a two-year-old, we were first 
attracted by its large, uniform, remarkable white 
blooms; the clean, thrifty, light green stocks; the lux¬ 
uriant foliage. Blooms cut in the bud and taken inside 
develop in remarkable form. Opens a pure, glistening 
white; pure rose type; a large, flat flower with promi¬ 
nent guards and petals of wonderful substance. Re¬ 
ceived the Gold Medal of the American Peony Society, 
St. Paul 1923. Very late.

LE CYGNE (Lemoine). 9.9. White. A flower of true 
rose type, perfect in form. Creamy white with no trac¬ 
ings of color. Strong, medium height stems; each one 
produces a perfect bloom. Flowers large and delight¬ 
fully fragrant. Le Cygne is the highest rated Peony 
and fully deserves its rating. Early midseason. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
MARIE LEMOINE (Calot). 8.5. White. Has the most 
pleasing and pronounced fragrance of any Peony. A 
sulphur-white, occasionally showing- a carmine tip. 
One of the most beautiful of all Peonies. Very late; it 
should be in every collection. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MRS. PRANK BEACH (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. Ivory- 
white. A very large, flat, perfect rose type flower with 
long, narrow, laciniated petals of the same lacy effect 
as in Jubilee. Blooms equally large as Jubilee but 
borne finely erect on rather dwarfish plants with very 
strong stems. Much as we admire Jubilee, it is handi¬ 
capped by a weak stem. Mrs. Frank Beach is a glori¬ 
fied Jubilee. Deep cream, it fades but little even when 
developed in the field. Like Le Cygne, this variety de¬ 
velops a flower true to type even on a yearling. Blooms 
profusely as a two-year-old. Received an Award of 
Merit, American Peony Society, London, Ontario, 1922. 
Late midseason. Sweetly fragrant. 
A Brand Division $4.00.
