ALBERT CROUSSE (Crousse). 8.6. Shell-pink. Albert, 
Felix, and Marie Crousse are three worthy Peonies.

row compact petals. An outstanding late midseason 
variety.

flower opening a pale rose-pink and showing a ring of 
prominent stamens. Center light, almost white. Spreads 
open in a hollow cuplike fashion showing stamens and 
carpels in center. A profuse bloomer.

AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert). 8.7. Deep pink. Among 
Dessert’s latest Peonies, this is one of his finest; re¬ 
garded by the originator as worthy "Of his own name. 
He gives this description: “Flower cup-shaped of fine 
form, with rounded petals, very brilliant, velvety crim¬ 
son, carmine, with silvery reflex and often streaked 
white; very large silvery border; visible stamens in- 
intermixed with the petals in many flowers. A superb 
variety. Awarded certificate of merit at the Paris 
show, June 2, 1920.” 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
BLANCHE KING (A. M. Brand 1925). Deep pink. Peony 
lovers have been constantly searching for a good, deep, 
late pink. We have now found this flower in Blanche 
King. This new variety is of wonderful size, symmet¬ 
rical, and of true rose type. It is a glowing deep pink 
that holds its color in the field and also develops into 
a wonderful show flower. This variety was first ex¬ 
hibited at the National Peony Show held in London, 
Ont., Canada, in 1922. Here it received an award of 
merit and attracted a great deal of attention. Our 
stock was limited at that time and we sold more stock 
of this variety than we should. We did not exhibit 
this variety again until this season at the St. Paul 
Show. Here Blanche King was very much in evidence 
as we had sufficient stock to again make a good show¬ 
ing. Here it was awarded the prize for the best flower 
at the show and also won first in a class of twenty 
best dark pink. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
Martha Bulloch. 
CHESTINE GOWDY (Brand). 8.4. Pink. This is a strik¬ 
ing specimen of the cone-shaped Peony. The broad 
outer petals are silvery pink. These enclose a zone of 
fine, irregularis shaped, closely set petals, of deep rich 
cream, which in turn surround a prominent cone of 
broad pink petals, splashed and tipped with crimson. 
Its varied coloring has repeatedly caused it to be sin¬ 
gled out for special admiration fropi a group of the 
finest varieties. This is a late variety with delicate 
fragrance. A very thrifty variety and a profuse bloom¬ 
er. Becoming in great demand as a late pink cut 
flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse). 8.7. Pink. A late flower 
of immense globular form, with long incurved petals 
of a uniform shade of clear violet-rose, tipped silvery 
white. It has that same wonderful attractiveness pos¬ 
sessed by Mons. Jules Elie. They are much the same 
in color but Claire Dubois is late where Mons. Jules 
Elie is early. The best cut flower of its color in its 
season. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 9.1. Pink. We think 
that this is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best Peonies. A very 
late variety with heavy stems and excellent foliage. 
It opens a decided pink but gradually fades to an al¬ 
most pure white with a greenish tint at the base of 
the petals. 
A Brand Division $4.00 
EDULIS SUPERBA. 7.6. Pink. This is the first good 
early deep pink. It sometimes opens for Decoration 
Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, 
borne profusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown 
type flower, of a beautiful deep pink. One of the great¬ 
est of all cut flowers in its color and season. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. Pink. 
Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella 
Christiansen is so distinct from the delicate pinks in 
coloring as to be a real acquisition. The flower is ex¬ 
ceedingly large, both on the plant in the field and when 
handled as a cut flower. As a bloomer, it is probably 
,the most profuse of this exclusive list. Petals are long, 
narrow, and heavily serrated on the edges. The flower 
first opens cup-shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appeal¬ 
ing—Ella Christiansen receives the unbounded praise 
of every visitor. We like it better every year. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
EUGENIE VERDIER (Calot). 8.6. Pink. A tall grow¬ 
ing, very large flat flower of a light hydrangea-pink, 
coming into bloom early midseason. The petals are 
lighter toward the outside and gradually grow deeper 
in color towards the center. One of the showiest and 
most beautiful of pink Peonies. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
EUNICE SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 8.9. Flesh-pink. A mid¬ 
season semi-double variety; beautiful on matured 
plants. Outer petals are a light pink. Center petals 
are a flesh-white with a circle of golden stamens 
around the center tuft. A good show flower. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
FLORENCE MacBETH (Sass). 9.2. Shell-pink. A large, 
late midseason shell-pink. This is a new and very 
promising variety. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
GALATHEE (Lemoine). 8.1. Pink. A large, full, double 
flower, rose type. Color fleshy white. Fragrance pro¬ 
nounced and pleasant. A tall, strong grower. One of 
the very good late ones. This was one of our very 
finest show flowers last season. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
GEORGIAN A SHAYLOR (Shaylor). 8.9. Pink. A large, 
late midseason light rose-pink. Fragrance pleasing; 
plant medium height; floriferous; good stems and foli¬ 
age. If Mr. Shaylor had never produced another Peony, 
this one alone would immortalize his name among 
Peony lovers. We always include it in our collections 
if our stock is sufficient to supply the demand. A great 
show flower. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
GRANDIFLORA (Richardson). 8.8. Pink. A soft shell- 
pink, shading to white with faint shadings of rose. 
When one thinks the Peony season ended, he can still 
go out and cut fine blooms of Grandiflora. For this 
reason Grandiflora should be in every garden. 
A Brand Division $1.00.
