BRAND'S BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
Judge Berry 
EDULIS SUPERBA. 7.6 Pink. 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 great¬ 
est of all cut flowers in its color and season. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
ELIA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. 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 ex¬ 
ceedingly 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. The flower 
first opens cup-shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appeal¬ 
ing—Ella Christiansen receives the unbounded praise 
of every visitor We like it better every year. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
ENCHANTERESSE (Lemoine). 8.9. White. A charm¬ 
ing very late white. The farther north it is grown, 
the better it becomes. As grown with us, it is rated 
far too low. It is surely entitled to a rating of 9.2 
A splendid pure white. A Brand Division $1.00. 
FLORENCE MACBETH (Sass). 9.2. Pink. Very large, 
cup-shaped flowers opening out flat. Color a soft 
blush pink at the center fading lighter towards the 
edges. Form very fine. This variety was first shown 
at the National Show in Des Moines, Iowa, and its 
merits were such hat i received a Certificate of Mer¬ 
it. An exceptional vase of 20 blooms of it was shown 
in the light pink class and here it was awarded first 
prize over many fine entries. A Brand Division $2.50. 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor). S.9 Pink. A large, 
late midseason light rose-pink. Fragrance pleasing; 
plant medium height; floriferous; good stems and foli¬ 
age. If Mr. Shaylor had never produced another Peony, 
this one alone would immortalize his name among 
Peony lovers We always include it in our collections 
if our stock is sufficient to supply the demand. A ureat 
show flower A Brand Division $2.00. 
HAZEL KINNEY (A. M. Brand 1925). 9.0. Delicate pink. 
I can still remember this beautiful flower as it ap¬ 
peared 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 hydran¬ 
gea-pink. Medium height plant; clean, light green 
foliage; late midseason; a prolific bloomer. 
s A Brand Division $3.00. 
JAMES KELWAY (Kelway). 8.7. White. This variety 
received a rating of 8.7 when the last symposium was 
taken, after 49 people had voted. This fact, alone, 
places it among the good varieties. The flower is very 
large, loose and semi-rose in type. It opens a rose- 
white changing to milk-white with base of the petals 
tinged yellow. The fragrance m ^ngjaml^pleasin^. 
JUBILEE (Pleas). 8.9. White. Very large, flat, ivory- 
white flowers. Petals long, narrow and loosely arrang¬ 
ed, producing a very attractive feathery effect. Every¬ 
one familiar with Peonies knows that Jubilee is a fine 
flower. Its only defect is a weak stem, yet one can 
well afford to support such a beautiful flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
KARL ROSENFIELD (Rosenfield). 8.8 Red. A brilliant 
and striking variety, coming into bloom early mid¬ 
season. Flowers very large, semi-rose type, and slight¬ 
ly fragrant. Desirable as a cut flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
JUDGE BERRY (Brand). C.S. Pink. This is a fine del¬ 
icate 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 va¬ 
rieties are of small or medium size, this immense flow¬ 
er has a peculiar distinction and will be wanted by 
every Peony buyer who wishes a really good early 
pink. A Brand Division $2.00. 
KELWAY’S GLORIOUS (Kelway). 9.8. White. Midsea¬ 
son. Although not as symmetrical as Le Cygne, we 
believe this wonderful variety is fully as good and 
deserves as high a rating. Immense blooms with very 
long petals, so arranged that the entire bloom resem¬ 
bles a great downy ball of the most exquisite, delicate, 
snow-white lace. For a Peony of great size, probably 
no other can exhibit such perfection of beauty. 
A Brand Division $4.00. 
LA FEE (Lemoine). 9.2. Pink. A scarce variety, sel¬ 
dom 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 mot¬ 
tling of different shades of pink. Strikingly beautiful, 
both in the field and show room. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
LAKE O’ SILVER (Franklin). Pink. This is a 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 seven 
to eight inches in diameter on established plants. It 
is an extremely free bloomer. Very desirable. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
LA FRANCE (Lemoine). 9.0. Pink. Very large, true 
rose type. A uniform apple-blossom-pink, with crim¬ 
son splashes on the guards. This flower during those 
years when it is at its best is one of the most out¬ 
standing of all Peonies. A Brand Division $2.00.
