Sarah Bernhardt. 
MUTTON HII 1 I 1 (Richardson). 9.0. Pink. A very beauti¬ 
ful flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resem¬ 
bling Walter Faxon. Seen in the show room in first 
class form, this variety is impossible to beat in its 
color. It received a rating of 9.0 with sixty-three vot¬ 
ing. We can never supply the demand for roots. To 
obtain Milton Hill, you should reserve stock of this 
variety early. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
MBS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand). Too new to be 
rated. Pink. Large and peculiarly beautiful in forma¬ 
tion. The broad guards and half of the petals turn out¬ 
ward, gracefully downward, then up. Next is a distinct 
band of golden stamens as in Phyllis Kelway. Light¬ 
ing up the entire flower, these stamens enclose a rose¬ 
bud, cup-shaped center of large incurving petals. Color 
a Walter Faxon pink. Magnificent in the show room; 
holds up well as a cut flower; beautiful in the field. 
Among the five or six best seedlings we ever produced. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
MBS. J. H. NEELEY. A very fine pink of splendid form 
that was outstanding in our fields last year. It looks 
to us like a real addition to our list. Both color and 
form are of the best. 
FINK PEONIES^—Continued. 
LUETTA PFEIFFEB (Brand 1916). 8.7. Pink. Very 
large, semi-double, pinkish white. Foliage large and 
clean; stems long and stout. Immense blooms are pro¬ 
duced in great profusion. Petals are long, broad, of 
great substance; a pure hydrangea-pink interspersed 
with just enough golden stamens to be beautifully 
fascinating. Blooms early. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MADELON (Dessert 1922). Pink. A beautiful silvery 
pink, among the latest of Dessert’s originations. Pet¬ 
als imbricated and slightly touched with carmine. 
A splendid late variety. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
MABIE CBOUSSE (Crousse). 8.9. Pink. A very attrac¬ 
tive flower. Color very delicate shell-pink bordering 
on salmon; stiff, upright stems. Fragrant. Midseason 
to late. A splendid variety, distinct in color from any 
other pink you may have. A most desirable sort for 
distant effect. Such a clear pure self color—it attracts 
the eye, even when blooming among a hundred different 
pinks. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
MABTHA BULLOCH (Brand). 9.1. Pink. Very tall, 
very large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. 
We must judge Peonies not alone by individual taste 
but by performance over a long period. The great 
Peonies receive the awards at the large shows. The 
Northwest Peony Show is staged alternate years in 
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Outside of the National 
Show, it is the largest Peony Show in America, taken 
year after year. Here Peonies from all varieties are 
shown at their best by expert showmen. The class 
that brings out the best flowers is the class that calls 
for ten vases, one each of ten varieties, three blooms 
to a vase. Into this class go the ten best vases of each 
exhibitor. Martha Bulloch is almost invariably in the 
exhibit that wins first. Bright old-rose-pink; center of 
lighter rose, and pink. Roselike fragrance. Tall, 
straight stems. Immense blooms. The most beautiful 
Peony of its size. Illustrated on page 6.

MBS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. 
Pink. The flower that claimed everyone’s attention the 
third day of the St. Paul-Minneapolis show. On the 
first day the buds taken to this show just started to 
open; the second day they were about half out; the 
third day they were in full bloom—the most remark¬ 
able vase of Peonies in the whole vast room. Color a 
violet-rose with distinct lavender cast. Petals long 
broad, pointed, of great substance. Pleasing and per¬ 
fect in form—a wonderful flower of true rose type. 
Very late; fragrant. Took first prize as the best flower 
in the entire show, 1928 Northwest Peony and Iris 
Show. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
MBS. BOMAINE B. WABE (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.1. 
Pink. One of the most delicately beautiful Peonies ever 
produced. First selected from the seed bed because of 
its striking beauty of form. True rosebud effect in the 
center, the petals radiating in peculiar fashion to give 
a pleasing effect to the entire bloom. Returning from 
the National Show at Boston, I stopped with my good 
friend Harry F. Little. Mrs. Romaine B. Ware was in 
full bloom. Of this wonderful flower Mr. Little said, 
“I think this one of the daintiest of all Peonies in its 
perfect beauty.” Exquisitely delicate; medium size; 
rose type. Medium height plant; profuse bloomer; mid¬ 
season. Fragrant.

Dear Sirs: This is to let 
you knoiv that I received 
your Peony Manual for 
which 1 waited so long, 
and perhaps a little im¬ 
patiently. However, it was 
well worth waiting for. I 
have read it through and 
want to say whole-heart¬ 
edly that it is the most 
practical and most com¬ 
plete book of its kind that 
/ have ever seen, and 
many thanks for it. It 
seems to me that Brands 
are giving more than their 
share to the Peony world. 
We believe by the time our fall season is over the 
copies of our Manual will be exhausted. This may 
be your last opportunity to secure one of these 
books. Send for your copy now. 
A Brand Division $3.00.
