BRAND'S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
11 
SINGLE PEONIES—Continued.

deep bright pink, heavily margined with silver; a large 
center of bright yellow stamens. 
A Brand Division $1.50. 
MADELINE GAUTHIER (Dessert). 8.5. Light pink. 
Early midseason. Dessert is noted for his singles. 
This is a good specimen; a beautiful flesh-pink of most 
perfect form. 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN (A. M. Brand). Too new to be 
rated. The great red single. Of the many single reds 
that we have tested out, this is unquestionably the 
best. A tall variety with strong, stout stems. Flowers 
large for a single, held straight up. Two rows of 
brilliant red petals, of most perfect form and the 
greatest substance, surround a very striking center of 
rich yellow stamens. Holds its color well in the sun. 
A Brand Division $10.00. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
MAPEKING (Kelway). 8.2. Very 
large; midseason; smooth, cup¬ 
ped guards of dark ruby-red; 
center a great tuft of golden 
stamens with ruddv filaments; 
carpels nearly white. Wild 
mintlike fragrance. Tall; free 
blooming; bright dark red. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
MARGUERITE DESSERT (Des¬ 
sert, 1913). 8.5. Pale pink. Me¬ 
dium size flower. Petals simi¬ 
lar to the double, Asa Gray. 
Central tuft of golden stamens. 
Very desirable. 
A Brand Division $3.00. 
MELLEN KNIGHT (Brand, 1920). 
Red. Tall, straight growing; 
strong enough to hold the flow¬ 
ers well up. Petals long, nar¬ 
row, and evenly rounded on the 
edges, giving a beautiful effect 
both at close examination and 
from a distance. Color a bright 
rich crimson. Extra good. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
PRIDE OP LANGPORT (Kelway 
1909). 8.9. Pink. An immense 
flower of brilliant, soft peach- 
pink. Wonderfully beautiful; 
retains its color in the sun al¬ 
most a week after it opens; the 
finest light single.

mann). Not yet rated. Pink.

WHAT? WHEN? WHY? 
Whether you have many Peonies or only a few, you want the best 
results obtainable. Few flowers are easier to grow when proper methods 
are used and none are more responsive to a little loving care. 
Peonies have had a colorful and interesting 
history, especially in the last few decades, an 
understanding of which adds immensely to 
the appeal of this most gorgeous of hardy 
flowering plants. 
Realizing the need of a complete but inex- 
pensive book on Peonies, Mr. A. M. Brand 
has brought out the Brand Peony Manual. 
It is not a pamphlet, but a large, well illus¬ 
trated book of 64 pages, authentic and in¬ 
tensely interesting from cover to cover. 
Elsewhere in this catalog the Brand Peony 
Manual is offered at 50 cents, a very low price 
for this fine book. But be¬ 
fore the limited supply is ex¬ 
hausted, we want many be¬ 
ginners with the Peony to 
have it and so we are mak¬ 
ing the very special offer of 
three fine named Peonies 
and the Peony Manual for 
$1.25. In all probability, we 
will never be able to repeat 
this offer. 
Our Special 
MANUAL OFFER 
1 Choice Red Peony 
1 Choice Pink Peony 
1 Choice White Peony 
1 Peony Manual 
All labeled true-to- 
name for $1.25, post¬

Brand Divi¬ 
sions, but are 
fine roots that 
will give entire 
satisfaction.
