BRAND'S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
7 
PINK PEONIES^—Continued. 
HANSINA BRAND (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.1. Pink. A 
flower of beautiful form and great size. Plant very 
tall and strong; holds the mammoth blooms erect. 
Color glistening flesh-pink with a salmon reflex shad¬ 
ing toward the base of the petals. Very distinct. As 
it fades, it resembles a perfectly formed specimen of 
Solange, for which it is often mistaken in our show 
room. Yet Solange sometimes fails to develop its flow¬ 
ers at all or produces imperfect bloom, while Hansina 
Brand comes good very year. One of the very best of 
this particular group. 
A Brand Division $5.00. 
HAZED KINNEY (A. M. Brand 
1925). 9.0. Delicate pink. I can 
still remember this beautiful flow¬ 
er as it appeared on the plant the 
first time. The form was so su¬ 
perb and the color so pure; it im¬ 
pressed us at once as a flower of 
great promise, which it since has 
proved. A great show flower when 
displayed alongside the very best. 
True rose type. Color a delicate 
clear hydrangea-pink. Medium 
height plant; clean, light green 
foliage; late midseason; a prolific 
bloomer. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
HENRY AVERY (Brand). 8.8. Light 
pink. A late midseason variety. 
Guards and center petals a bright 
light pink. Between the guard and 
center petals is a very distinct 
collar, from an inch to an inch and 
a half wide, of creamy yellow pet¬ 
als. This gives the flower a very 
striking appearance. This is a 
handsome Peony making a fine 
garden variety as well as a strik¬ 
ing show variety. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
JAMES BOYD (Thurlow). 8.9. Flesh- 
pink, changing to nearly white, 
tinted at base of petals with yel¬ 
lowish salmon. Guard petals notched at tips, giving a 
fringed effect. Very fragrant. Late. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
Myrtle Gentry. 
JUDGE BERRY (Brand). 8.6. Pink. This is a fine 
delicate pink coming into bloom with that very 
early deep pink, Edulis Superba. Its attractive, 
large flat flowers are of excellent color and texture. 
Coming at the beginning of the Peony season, when 
most varieties are of small or medium size, this 
immense flower has a peculiar distinction, and will 
be wanted by every Peony buyer who wishes a 
really good early light pink. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
JUNE DAY (Franklin). 9.0. Pink. We think June Day 
is one of the very best of Mr. Franklin’s introductions. 
A flower of striking beauty, light flesh with lavender 
shadings on the edge of the central petals. Pleasing 
fragrance, upright grower with dark green foliage. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
DA FEE (Lemoine). 9.2. Pink. A scarce variety, sel¬ 
dom seen in any garden. Plants tall with but few 
stalks to the plant. Long, narrow, sharply pointed 
foliage. Flowers very large, loosely built, with long 
narrow petals sharply notched at the edges. Guards 
mauve-rose. Collar creamy white. A beautiful mot¬ 
tling of different shades of pink. Strikingly beautiful, 
both in the field and show room. 
A Brand Division $2.50. 
DAKE O’ SIDVER (Franklin). Pink. This is a light pink 
silver-tipped variety, with golden anthers prominently 
showing throughout the flower. 
The central petals are a darker 
pink. The bloom is very large, 
often seven to eight inches in 
diameter on established plants. 
It is an extremely free bloomer. 
Very desirable. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
DA FERDE (Crousse). 8.5. Pink. A 
floriferous variety with strong 
stems and good foliage. Guard 
petals a rose-pink with a slightly 
darker center, showing flecks of 
crimson. Beautiful both in the 
bud and open flower. An excellent 
variety for the cut flower trade. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
DA FRANCE (Lemoine). 9.0. Pink. 
Very large, true rose type. A uni¬ 
form apple-blossom-pink, with 
crimson splashes on the guards. 
This flower during those years 
when it is at its best is one of the 
most outstandnig of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
DIDDIAN GUMM (Gumm). 8.8. 
Pink. Late midseason. A new 
flower of outstanding qualities, 
good enough to be repeatedly sin¬ 
gled out from hundreds of varie¬ 
ties in the field. Very large, globular in form, rose 
type, with great broad petals, and a cupped center. 
Color uniform apple-blossom-pink with more brilliant 
shadings at the base of the petals. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
DIVINGSTONE (Crousse). 8.1. Pink. A deep pink that 
comes into bloom just before Grandiflora. Blossoms 
very large, compact, perfect rose type. Center petals 
flecked with carmine. One of the most satisfactory of 
the late pink Peonies. A very fragrant variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
DOVEDINESS (Hollis). 8.8. Pink. Very late. Produces 
very large, flat hydrangea-pink flowers; blooms of 
wonderful beauty. It is Hollis’ best Peony. Plants tall 
with heavy foliage and stems strong enough to hold 
the immense blooms erect. The flowers, a uniform 
shade of pink, make wonderful show flowers. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
KATHERINE HAVEMEYER (Thurlow). 9.0. Origina¬ 
tor’s description: “Large, rose type, flesh-pink in color; 
guard petals broad and rounded, somewhat notched at 
the ends. Center petals narrow and fringed. Full, high 
center. Sweet fragrance. Midseason to late. Honorable 
Mention, American Peony Society, London, Ontario, 
1922.” Of all of Thurlow’s Peonies, which we regard 
very highly, Katherine Havemeyer is one of the best. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
KEDWAY’S QUEEN (Kelway). 8.8. Pink. The stocks 
of this variety have been badly mixed and many spuri¬ 
ous sorts have been sold under the name of Kelway’s 
Queen. Once the genuine variety is seen, there can be 
no mistake. It is a distinct Peony, both in flower and 
plant. We have the true variety and guarantee our 
stock of Kelway’s Queen to be absolutely genuine. 
A large, compact, rose type flower of uniform mauve, 
with center flecked crimson. A tall, strong grower, 
very profuse bloomer. Late midseason. One of Kel¬ 
way’s finest. Very distinct color, a great show flower. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
DADY ADEXANDRA DUFF (Kelway). 9.1. Pink. One 
of the largest and most beautiful of all Peonies. An 
immense, loosely built flower with great broad rounded 
petals. A pale blush pink, fading to white, with yel¬ 
low stamens. When not disbudded, the central flower 
is loosely double, of a rather flattened, circular form; 
central petals touched with carmine. A beautifully 
formed flower; sweet scented. Very floriferous. Very 
showy. Opening after the central flower, the side flow¬ 
ers come semi-double, saucer-shaped, showing stamens. 
A Brand Division $1.00.
