9.1 HANSINA BRAND <A. M. Brand) 
A flower of beautiful form and great size. Plant very tall and strong; 
holds the mammoth blooms erect. Color glistening flesh-pink with a sal¬ 
mon reflex shading 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 de¬ 
velop its flowers at all or produces imperfect bloom, while Hansina Brand 
comes good every year. One of the very best of this particular group. 
In 1933 at the Chicago Exposition, Hansina Brand was awarded the Farr 
Memorial Gold Medal for the best flower in the entire show. This flower 
was exhibited by Mr. C. W. Bunn of St. Paul. In 1934 at the National 
Show held in St. Paul, Hansina Brand was again awarded the Farr Memorial 
Medal as the best flower in the show. A Brand Division $4.00 
9.0 HAZEL KINNEY <A. M. Brand) 
Delicate pink. I can still remember this beautiful flower as if appeared 
on the plant the first time. The form was so superb and the color so pure; 
it impressed 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 
8.8 HENRY AVERY (Brand) 
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 petals. This 
gives the flower a very striking appearance. This is a handsome Peony 
making a fine garden variety as well as a striking show variety.

8.5 CLEMENCEAU (Dessert) 
A very large, late midseason rose-pink. The flower has a slight tea rose 
fragrance and resembles Sarah Bernhardt in form and somewhat in color. 
The plant is a very tall, strong growing, free blooming variety with dark 
green foliage. Always an outstanding show flower. A Brand Division $1.50 
7.6 EDULIS SUPERBA < Lemon) 
This is the first good early deep pink. It sometimes opens for Decoration 
Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne profusely on tall, 
strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a beautiful deep pink. One 
of the greatest of all cut flowers in its color and season. This flower de¬ 
serves a much higher rating and should be planted because of its earliness 
and general good qualities. 
8.7 E. J. SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A deep rose-pink, shading lighter at the tips of the petals. Surrounding 
the center petals is a distinct band of petals edged and tipped with gold. 
A late midseason variety, of medium height, with good stems and foliage. 
8.6 JUDGE BERRY (Brand) 
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. 
9.0 JUNE DAY (Franklin) 
We think June Day is one of the very best ot 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. At the 1935 Boston National Show, June Day was one of the out¬ 
standing flowers of the entire show. A Brand Division $2.00 
9.0 KATHARINE HAVEMEYER (Thurlow) 
Originator's description: "Large, rose type, flesh-pink in color; guard pet¬ 
als 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, 1 922." 
Of all of Thurlow's Peonies, which we regard very highly, Katharine Have- 
meyer is one of the best. A Brand Division $2.00

8.8 GRANDIFLORA (Richardson) 
A soft shell-pink, shading to white with faint shadings of rose. When one 
thinks the Peony season ended, he can still go out and cut fine blooms 
of Grandiflora. For this reason Grandiflora should be in every garden. 
9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN <A. M. Brand) 
Pink. Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christiansen is 
so distinct from the delicate pinks in coloring as to be a real acquisition. 
The flower is exceedingly large, both on the plant in the field and when 
handled as a cut flower. As a bloomer, it is probably the most profuse 
of this exclusive list. Petals are long, narrow, and heavily serrated on the 
edges. The flower first opens cup-shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing 
-—Ella Christiansen receives the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like 
it better every year. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.9 EUNICE SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A midseason semi-double variety; beautiful on matured plants. Outer 
petals are a light pink. Center petals are a flesh-white with a circle of 
golden stamens around the center tuft. A good show flower. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
8.1 GALATHEE < Lemoine) 
Here is a flower that for some reason has been overlooked. It is a beau¬ 
tiful variety that we would rate very close to 9.0. We would place it in 
a class with such flowers as Sarah Bernhardt, Rosa Bonheur, and other 
such high class flowers. Extremely late and very fine. Beautiful light 
pink. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink. Fragrance pleasing; plant medium 
height; floriferous; good stems and foliage. If Mr. Shaylor had never pro¬ 
duced another Peony, this one alone would immortalize his name among 
Peony lovers. Exceptionally fine for garden decoration and cutting and 
also a great exhibition flower. A Brand Division $1.50 
9.1 LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF (Kelway) 
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 yellow 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 flowers come semi¬ 
double, saucer-shaped, showing stamens. 
9.2 LA FEE (Lemoine) 
A scarce variety, seldom 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 mottling of dif¬ 
ferent shades of pink. Strikingly beautiful, both in the field and show 
room. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.1 LAKE O' SILVER (Franklin) 
This is o 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 7 to 8 inches in diameter on established plants. 
It is an extremely free bloomer. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
9.0 LA FRANCE (Lemoine) 
Very large, true rose type. A uniform 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 outstanding of all Peonies. A Brand Division $2.00 
SUBSTITUTIONS 
Sometimes an order reaches us late in the season after our stock of 
some varieties is exhausted. If you send in an order and you are not 
particular about receiving just the varieties in your list, give us permis¬ 
sion to substitute a variety of the same color of equal or better value. 
As a rule our stock is sufficient to fill our orders just as they are given. 
8.9 LAVERNE CHRISTMAN (A. M. Brand) 
A very large deep pink of varied shadings. The plant is tall and a vigorous 
grower. This variety received an Award of Merit at St. Paul, Minnesota, 
in the National Show held during 1923. Very late. Because of scarcity 
of stock we have been unable to offer this beautiful variety for several 
years. But with a nice stock again built up we can send out some fine 
roots. A Brand Division $3.00 
All Varieties Listed are $1.00 Each Unless Otherwise Priced. Orders for $5.00 or More, Postpaid.
