BRAND PEONY FARMS 
FARIBAULT , MINN. 
(yVew (Peonies, ^Mosilij of (dPoreicjn Origin 
When a new variety is introduced, we usually purchase at least one root to plant out in our trial garden. 
A new Peony must be watched over a period of years before anything like a definite opinion can be formed. 
We are now listing some of these new varieties as many of you may have seen them in some Peony show or in 
a show garden and formed your own opinion. We feel confident that a number in our new list are superb 
varieties and we are pleased to list them for the first time this year. 
Judging from the Peonies that Lemoine has given us in the past, we have full confidence in those he is 
introducing at the present time. We have been pleased with most of the Peonies that Doriat has been send- 
ng out and for this reason we do not hesitate to offer a Peony that he recommends. 
Keep in Mind 
when ordering ony of these 
especially new varieties that 
the stock throughout the en¬ 
tire country is scarce. We will 
give you a good three- to five- 
eye division and be just as 
liberal as we possibly can if 
you place an order with us. 
All orders amounting to $5.00 
or more ore sent PREPAID. 
MME. EMILE DEBATENE < Doriat) 
A late midseason pink, similar in habit and form to Souv. de Louis Bigot, 
but with a darker and more brilliant color. This Peony is considered fully 
its equal and by some its superior. A free and annual bloomer. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
8.9 MAMAN MILLET (Millet) 
A iate midseason pink. The flower is a cross between a Japanese type and 
a double and is a very large semi-double. The coloring is exquisite in its 
soft pink guard petals with a center of white tinted pink and many yellow 
stamens. Millet considered it the best Peony he ever produced. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
8.4 SYLVIANE (Lemoine) 
A late midseason creamy white with yellowish tints, broad petals fringed 
at the ends, medium height, and a flower of great beauty when well grown. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
8.5 CHARLOT (Doriat) 
A tall midseason lilac-pink with a glowing center, a reddish tint. This is 
considered a landscape variety of great value. A Brand Division $2.50 
8.8 DAPHNE (Earnshaw) 
A late midseason, blush pink fading to white. Very nice rose fragrance. 
We are watching this fine Peony and have a few roots to offer. It 
looks like a good one. A Brand Division $5.00 
8.3 DIRECTEUR URSAT (Doriat) 
A large early flower with light pink guards, with a yellow tinted, globular 
center. Plant medium height. A Brand Division $1.50

A Brand Division $5.00 
8.7 ELSIE RENAULT . 'Doriat) 
This silvery lilac flower comes into bloom midseason. The plant is medium 
height, with strong, upright stems. A new French introduction and will, no 
doubt, become very popular as it becomes better known. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
LIBERTY BELL <Dr. Neeley) 
We have tested this variety out in our fields long enough to know that 
it is a superb late pink. Two years ago we put it on display in our show 
room and soon sold all we could spare. We can recommend it to all who 
wish a good late deep pink. A Brand Division $5.00 
8.6 GENEVIEVE (Lemoine) 
A late creamy white with strong, tall stems. A glorious flower when it 
comes good, but like Solange, it sometimes fails to open. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
In arranging our list of Peonies, we like to have it the way the majority of our customers wish it. We have tried it out in strict alphabetical 
order and we have also arranged it according to color. Those of our customers who have expressed an opinion, favor the arrangement accord¬ 
ing to color, so we are following this plan. 
OUR PRICE for any variety listed in this group is $1.00, unless otherwise noted. This price will give you a Select Brand Division. If 
planted early this fall, you will get bloom from our select divisions next spring. Our roots are large and it will not hurt any of them to pro¬ 
duce for you at least one flower this coming spring. 
Choicest of Red Peonies 
8.5 ADOLPHE ROUSSEAU (Dessert £r Mechin) 
Red. One of the very good early dark reds. The plant is very tall and 
holds its flowers so erect that it makes a fine showing. One of the finest 
of all red Peonies as a landscape variety. A great dark flower that looks 
almost black and unusually rich when viewed from a distance. 
8.2 BRAND'S MAGNIFICENT (Brand) 
Red. A very deep dark red carrying more blue than any other good 
Peony. This variety is noted for its beautiful form, prolific bloom, broad 
symmetrical roselike petals, and excellent color. A midseason variety. 
8.6 CHERRY HILL , (Thurlow) 
Red. A very tall growing semi-double bright dark red that is early, and 
splendid as a landscape variety. The color is a deep garnet, with a sheen 
so rich that the variety is very noticeable among all other reds. For 
best effects this variety should not be disbudded. Awarded a silver medal 
by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
COMMANDER , <A.M. Brand) 
An extra large, high built flower; very compact. A cone-shaped rose type 
Peony. Color a true self solferino-red. Although late, it blooms con¬ 
sistently, which cannot be said of most late varieties. After every other 
red is gone you can still go out and bring in excellent flowers of this va¬ 
riety. A real acquisition to our reds. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.4 FELIX CROUSSE , (Crousse) 
Late. A deep rose-red showing no stamens. Consists of a central bomb 
of incurved petals surrounded by broad, prominent guard petals. A good 
all-purpose red. 
8.4 DAVID HARUM (Brand) 
The flowers are very large with prominent guard petals surrounding a 
great ball of closely packed petals of the same shade. The entire flower 
is an even shade of soft Tyrian rose, without stamens. An upright grow¬ 
ing plant with very strong stems that hold their great blooms erect. One 
of the very best landscape reds. This variety appeared in five prize¬ 
winning collections at the National Show held at Des Moines in 1924. 
8.5 INSPECTEUR LAVERGNE (Doriat) 
A fine new early red with broad guard petals enclosing a center of nar¬ 
rower petals. The coloring is unusual. As this is a recent European intro¬ 
duction, it is not widely distributed and the stock is scarce. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
8.8 KARL ROSENFIELD (Rosenfield) 
A brilliant and striking variety, coming into bloom early midseason. 
Flowers very large, semi-rose type, and slightly fragrant. Desirable as a 
cut flower. 
9.0 LONGFELLOW (Brand) 
Everyone concedes Longfellow one of the most popular red Peonies because 
of its distinct, fadeless color and general dependability, both for cutting 
and garden decoration. It is as striking in the field as in the show room. 
It comes into bloom early midseason. The plant has excellent foliage and 
strong, stiff stems. The flower is a bright crimson and is always found 
among the winning classes. A Brand Division $1.50 
All Varieties Listed are $1.00 Each Unless Otherwise Priced. Orders for $5.00 or More, Postpaid.
