WHITE VARIETIES—Continued 
From Virginia, May 26, 1936 
Of your 1925 list of Peonies, Ella Christiansen and Mrs. Frank Beach 
were especially fine to say nothing of the giant blooms of Mrs. John M. 
Kleitsch, and few Peonies in my garden ever surpass Victory Chateau 
Thierry, Martha Bulloch, and Phoebe Cary. 
9.0 MRS. FRANK BEACH <A. M. Brand) 
Ivory-white. A very large, flat, perfect rose type flower with long, nar¬ 
row, laciniated petals of the same lacy effect as in Jubilee. Blooms equally 
large as Jubilee but borne finely erect on rather dwarfish plants with very 
strong stems. Much as we admire Jubilee, it is handicapped by a weak 
stem. Mrs. Frank Beach is a glorified Jubilee. Deep cream, it fades but 
little even when developed in the field. Like Le Cygne, this variety de¬ 
velops a flower true to type even on a yearling. Blooms profusely as a 
two-year-old. Received an Award of Merit, American Peony Society, Lon¬ 
don, Ontario, 1922. Late midseason. Sweetly fragrant. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.1 MRS. HARRIET GENTRY <A. M. Brand) 
A very late perfect rose type variety. Petals are very large, of the purest 
glistening white. Deep in the center of the flower you will find a touch 
of that peculiar pinkish tint for which Solange is famous. This is one of 
our latest white Peonies to bloom and is one of the most refined flowers 
in this list. A Brand Division $4.00 
8.9 MME. EMILE LEMOINE (Lemoine) 
White. A rare, beautiful Peony; strong grower, free bloomer. Flowers very 
large, uniform in shape and size. Plant rather tall with strong, erect 
stems. Bloom is very perfect in form, with large, rounded roselike petals 
of a tender glossy white, overlaid with a sheen of delicate satiny pink, 
covered with tiny dots of deeper pink. Petals of great substance. 
8.8 NYMPHAEA < Thurlow) 
Large flat flowers with wide, silky petals of delicate creamy white, 
notched at tips, edges somewhat rolled; yellow stamens in center reflect 
a golden light throughout. Fragrant. Early midseason. Remindful of a 
Waterlily only much larger and more beautiful than any Waterlily we 
have ever seen. Very refined; a real addition to our growing list of good 
Peonies. More semi-double than rose type. A Brand Division $1.50 
REV. H. TRAGITT < A. M. Brand) 
White. Very large, of true rose type. Great blooms of the most perfect 
form resemble large balls of snow. The dwarf plants with strong stems 
hold the great white blooms erect. Very sturdy, even growth. Planted in 
rows, they present a remarkable sight when in bloom. So profuse, the 
blooms cover the whole plant with a solid mass of white. Usually pure 
white, yet occasionally a faint trace of red shows on an inner petal. Glob¬ 
ular in form; great broad snow-white petals of great substance. This 
variety resembles Le Cygne but it is late while Le Cygne is early. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.7 SOLANGE (Lemoine) 
This is a variety that is hard to classify. It might be classed with the 
light pinks, but it is neither a white nor a pink, but a suffusion of buff 
and pale salmon-pink. A late variety with tight buds that sometimes fail 
to open. When well grown this variety has perfect form and unusual col¬ 
oring. Always a favorite the year when it comes good. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
SUSAN B. WHITE (A. M. Brand) 
A pure white of very fine form and large size. Plant tall, luxuriant dark 
green foliage. Individual blooms very large; petals very long and narrow, 
form a great compact dome-shaped flower with large guards drooping 
gracefully away from the balance of the flower. Pure white, tinted heavily 
cream, with green showing at base of petals. A Brand Division $3.00 
D PEONY FARMS, Inc 
Milton Hill, Pink 
Yellow Peonies 
Every originator watches eagerly among his blooming seedlings for yellow 
Peonies, but to date few have ever appeared. We list here the best where 
yellow predominates. 
7.7 FANNY CROSBY r (Brand) 
An early yellow Peony with pink guard petals that is growing in favor 
more each year as it becomes better known. The plont is strong, thrifty, 
and very floriferous. The side buds come into bloom with the main flower 
and if left on the plant they make a wonderful showing. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
8.8 LAURA DESSERT (Dessert) 
The flower is round, of rose type. Guard petals creamy white, enclosing a 
domelike center of pure canary-yellow. Like Fonny Crosby, the plant is 
an upright grower, holding blossoms erect for good landscape value. Like 
all yellows, it must be developed inside away from the sun to preserve its 
color. Early midseason. A Brand Division $2.00 
7.7 PHILOMELE (Colot) 
Medium size. Flat crown type. Guards bright violet-rose; anemone center 
of amber-yellow petals, changing to cream. As flower develops, a crown 
of bright rose appears in the center. Midseason. A strong, free bloomer, 
with much deep yellow in make-up. A very striking landscape sort. 
8.6 PRIMEVERE (Lemoine) 
A fine yellow Peony. Guard petals creamy white, enclosing a central ball 
of sulphur-yellow. If cut in the bud, as it begins to open, so the flower 
may develop away from the sun, it will hold a clear yellow color; very 
beautiful. A Brand Division $1.50 
Pink Peonies 
All shades, Light, Medium, and Deep. 
A. G. PERRY <A. M. Brand) 
We regret we cannot supply this variety this season. One of our Virginia 
friends just wrote us as follows regarding this variety: "Taken as a whole 
the Brand Peonies surely distinguished themselves. A. G. Perry of your 
new ones was very outstanding and consider it one of the finest flowers 
you have put out." 
8.6 ALBERT CROUSSE (Crousse) 
Albert, Felix, and Marie Crousse are three noteworthy Peonies. Albert 
Crousse is a beautiful soft shell-pink with narrow compact petals. An out¬ 
standing late midseason variety. If your garden needs a substantial late 
light pink, you will be pleased with this variety. 
BLANCHE KING <A M. Brand) 
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, symmetrical, 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 exhibited 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. At the late St. 
Paul Show it was awarded the prize for the best flower at the show and 
also won first in a class of twenty best dark pinks. One of the latest to 
bloom. A Brand Division $4.00 
8.4 CHESTINE GOWDY „ „ (Brand) 
This is a striking specimen of the cone-shaped Peony. The broad outer 
petals are silvery pink. These enclose a zone of fine, irregularly 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 singled out for special admiration 
from a group of the finest varieties. This is a late variety with delicate 
fragrance. A very thrifty variety and a profuse bloomer. 
8.7 CLAIRE DUBOIS x u , . . ‘Crousse) 
A late flower of immense globular form, with long incurved petals ot a 
uniform shade of clear violet-rose, tipped silvery white. It has that same 
wonderful attractiveness possessed 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.
