BRAND PEONY FARMS , Inc . 
Single Peonies 
Few people are familiar with the beauty of the single Peony. For both house 
decoration and garden effects, the single Peony has an artistic value different 
from the double form. The main bud opens first; but before it has passed its 
prime the lateral buds also open, making the plant a mass of bloom. They 
come into bloom at least a week before the earliest doubles, thus lengthening 
the blooming season. We have greatly reduced our prices on singles. 
8.4 ALBIFLORA (The Bride) (Dessert) 
White. Very large. Long, yellow stamens. Tall, fragrant, very early. 
Free blooming in clusters. 
8.2 DARKNESS (Brand) 
Red. Large; very dark maroon with darker markings in lower half of 
petals, surrounding a bold cluster of golden stamens. Tall, strong stems. 
Good bloomer. Very early. 
FLANDERS FIELDS <A. M. Brand) 
Red. A few years ago in one of our seedling beds of many varieties, we 
noticed a most conspicuous red. Even from 20 rods' distance, this bril¬ 
liant color stood out from all the others. Every year, in every way, it has 
proven a splendid flower. A single of the most brilliant red. Two rows 
of petals surround a large prominent center of golden stamens. Petals of 
great substance stand out flat; rich and velvety in appearance.

8.7 HARRIET OLNEY (Brand) 
This variety is one of the very earliest of our singles to give color to our 
fields. It opens a deep rose but gradually changes to a soft rose-pink. 
The plant is medium tall with straight stiff stems which hold the flower 
well erect. A very fine landscape variety. 
KRINKLED WHITE <A. M. Brand) 
White. First noticeable in the bud which resembles the bud of a pale pink 
Tulip just ready to burst. The bud is comparatively small and beautiful in 
effect. As it opens, it expands into a large flower with great broad, pure 
white petals, crinkled like crepe paper. Stems tall, straight, slender but 
strong; clean light green. Award of Merit, Des Moines National Show.

L ACINI AT A 
Bright scarlet. If you wish a Peony that will give you bloom about two 
weeks earlier than Officinalis Rubra, you must have this variety. It comes 
with bloom a few days earlier than the finely cut-foliaged Peony, Tenui- 
folia, but is distinctly different from the Chinensis varieties. It is not so 
hard to propagate as Tenuifolia, and we feel that it is just as satisfactory. 
It is of no value as a cut flower but it brings color to the flower garden 
very early in the season. A Brand Division $2.00 
MELLEN KNIGHT u u u „ (B '° nd) 
Red. Tall, straight growing; strong enough to hold the flowers well up. 
Petals long, narrow, 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. 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN _ _ <A ; M ‘ ® ra " d l 
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 $5.00 
PRIDE OF LANGPORT , u , ( M Ke ' woy) 
Pink. An immense flower of brilliant, soft peach-pink. Wonderfully beau¬ 
tiful; retains its color in the sun almost a week after it opens; the finest 
light single. A Brand Division $3.00 
President Lincoln, Single Red 
TENUIFOLIA SIMPLEX , z n TU xl , .... , 
This is the single form of fhe Fern Leaf Peony. The flower is a brilliant 
single red consisting of one row of petals surrounding a bright center of 
yellow stamens. The foliage is very finely cut and the plant after bloom¬ 
ing is attractive all through the summer. This variety, the single, is very 
hardy, and will stand up through the winter in very trying locations where 
the double form might not. 
WATTEAU . (Goos & Koenemann) 
Not yet rated. White. Large, snow-white guard petals. Center flesh with 
a mass of golden stamens. Resembles Albiflora, the Bride, but comes into 
bloom much later. A Brand Division $2.00

of deep bright pink, heavily margined with silver; a large center of bright 
yellow stamens. A Brand Division $1.50

pleasing fragrance. The plant is tall with strong stems and good foliage 
and a very free-blooming sort. A Brand Division $2.50 
Prairie Rose, Single Pink 
SOME NEW 1 
Ever since we introduced the two fine single Peonies, "Krinkled White" and 
"Flanders Field", we have been constantly on the Idokout among our many 
thousands of seedlings always on hand for new and outstanding singles. Many 
selections were made during the blooming season of 1921. That year we 
found many beautiful singles among our seedlings. These have been tested 
out since and we are now offering a few of the best of these to our customers. 
MANKATO (Single) 
A beautiful pure white with very rich texture. The petals, which appear 
in two rows, are nicely rounded and wonderful in form. There is a great 
golden center of stamens with green corpuscles tipped pink. Very up¬ 
standing, medium height. A beautiful single white. Each $5.00 
OWATONNA 
A most outstanding single. The plant is tall, the stems are strong and 
the blooms, which are very large, are held erect. Two rows of immense 
guards enclose a great center of rich yellow stamens. Green carpels tipped 
rose. The color is a brilliant medium pink which lasts long in the sun. 
An outstanding single with great substance and great beauty. Each $5.00 
PRAIRIE ROSE 
This beautiful single is a sister seedling of Hansina Brand as it comes from 
that same handful of seed from which came that great show flower that 
won best flower at the World's Fair at Chicago in 1933, and then repeated 
at the National Show the next year at St. Paul. Prairie Rose is the best 
deep pink single we have ever seen. A brilliant deep self pink. The color 
holds well in fhe sun, the flower is large and beautiful in appearance. 
Plant tall, stems strong and a clean light green. Each $5.00 
WASECA 
A beautiful single of good size in a peculiar shade of red that is hard to 
describe as it was impossible to get satisfactory results in comparing with 
the color chart. A rich deep maroon-red so intensified by the brilliant 
golden center as to produce a color effect both very pleasant and out¬ 
standing. The flower has great substance and the color is very distinct.
