BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
PHOEBE CARY (Brand). 8.8. Pink. Much like Martha 
Bulloch. Introduced in 1907, it met such quick demand 
that our stock was almost gone before we knew. A 
true rose type. Petals large, broad, of good sub¬ 
stance, slightly cupped. Color a beautiful rose-pink 
with center slightly deeper in shade. Pleasing fra¬ 
grance. Late in season with Marie Lemoine. Tall 
plant; abundant clean, light green foliage. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
PRESIDENT COOIiIDGE (A. M. Brand 1928). Too new 
to be rated. Pink. Large, beautiful flowers; a rather 
uniform lavender pink. Irregular petals in unique ir¬ 
regular formation. The prominent guards stand out 
from the rest of the flower; very attractive from a 
distance. The entire flower is climaxed by a strikin 
rosebud effect. Blooms carried well above the foliag° 
on strong stems. A very late Peony, remarkable both 
as a show flower and landscape variety. 
A Brand Division $4.0 r 
RHINE HORTENSE (Calot). 8.7. Pink. A show flower 
usually found in the winning classes. Sometimes sol 
under the name of President Taft. Tall growing, ■' 
produces lots of large perfectly formed flowers on long 
stiff stems. Color a uniform hydrangea-pink, minu.L 
ly splashed on a white background; also prominently 
flecked with crimson. Truly a wonderful flower—we 
can seldom supply the demand. 
A Brand Division $1.0 r 
SARAH BERNHARDT (Lemoine). 9.0. Pink. Another 
variety that prevails in the show room. So well known, 
it seems unnecessary to say that it should be in every 
garden. Semi-rose type. Late midseason. Color, ap- 
ple-blossom-pink with each petal silver tinned * 
able fragrance. A Brand Division $1.00. 
SOLANGE (Lemoine). 9.7. Pink. Color a deep orange- 
salmon, or Havana-brown at the heart, overlaid with 
a delicate, tender, rich cream. Rose type. Midseason. 
A splendid variety. A Brand Division $2.50. 
SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert). 9.1. Salmon- 
pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at 
the base, turning to a salmon-pink. Resembles Walter 
Faxon in color but stands up much better in the field. 
A Brand Division $2.00. 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA 
The Pern Leaf Peony 
The earliest double to bloom. Very brilliant crim¬ 
son. Finely cut foliage, so much like that of the 
Cosmos. Every season we receive numerous re¬ 
quests for the name of this flower. Tenuifolia should 
always be carefully mulched the first winter after 
planting. Plant as early in the spring as practicable. 
Very scarce. We have but a small stock to spare 
this spring. A Brand Division $3.00. 
Solange 
STRASSBURG (Goos & Koenemann). 8.4. Pink. Rose. 
Very large bloom; exquisite form. Flowers very large, 
loosely built, semi-rose petals, very large, broad deli¬ 
cate lilac-rose. Stock of this variety is very scarce. 
A Brand Division $1.00. 
THERESE (Dessert). 9.8. Pink. Very large; somewhat 
loosely built; long, narrow pointed petals. Plant of 
medium height with strong stems. Usually produces 
large typical flowers, even on 1-year plants, if they 
are allowed to bloom. Early midseason pink, fading 
toward the center, and illuminated by a golden yel¬ 
low glow in the depths. A supreme flower for exhibi¬ 
tion purposes. A Brand Division $2.00 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert). 9.4. Pink. Rose type; late 
midseason; a vigorous grower, bearing large high- 
built flowers with cupped centers. Color delicate pear¬ 
ly white, suffused with shades of delicate salmon and 
La France rose. In discussing which are the very 
best Peonies, we never hesitate to place this one 
among them. A Brand. Division $1.50. 
WALTER FAXON (Richardson). 9.3. Pink. A remark¬ 
able flower, at its best in the show room. Cut in the 
bud, held in a dark cool room for a day or two, then 
brought into the light, it develops as a flower of won¬ 
derful coloring and exquisite beauty. Color the most 
vivid of all pinks, the only “real pink” as someone has 
said. To anyone acquainted with its color, a mere 
glance over the show room will disclose every vase of 
this beautiful flower. A Brand Division $2.00. 
WINNIFRED SOMME (Brand). 8.3. ScarW-™d. 
matter how many good reds you have, you will 
want Winnifred Domme. Unlike most reds, it h^s prac¬ 
tically no purple; the nearest scarlet of all Peonies. 
The plant is dwarfish, but stems are strong and -—-> 
each producing a single bloom. A Brand Tiindainn 01 “0 
Three Super-Early Reds 
There are three Red Peonies, all of which, even in 
Minnesota, will bloom before Decoration Day. They 
are the single. Laciniata, the earl'est of all. It is 10 days 
ahead of Officinalis Rubra. Then comes Tenuifolia 
Flora Plena, the double, dark rich red, Fern Leaf Peony. 
This is followed by Officinalis Rubra, the bright rich 
double red, which blooms for Decoration Day.
