New Brand Peony— Mrs. Archie M. Brand 
T HE twentieth annual show of the American Peony Society was held in 
St. Paul. Minnesota. June 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, in the immense Hippo¬ 
drome building of the Minnesota State Fair Association. 
50,000 Peony Blooms were on display in this, the largest and most 
successful Peony show the world has ever seen. 
In the keenest competition, furnished by growers from Massachusetts 
to North Dakota, 
Brand Peony Farms were awarded First Prize, 
and the Society's Gold Medal 
for the finest collection of not more than 100 varieties. This was the 
highest award in the power of the society to bestow. 
Brand Peony Farms were also awarded the Society’s Gold Medal on 
their magnificent new white seedling peony—Mrs. A. M. Brand. 
Brand Peony Farms were also awarded the Society’s Silver Medal on 
their wonderful new pink seedling peony—Myrtle Gentry. 
Brand Peony Farms were awarded many other prizes. 
Our Acm Catalogue, the largest, finest, most up-to-date work ever 
written on the peony, is just off the press. It is a book of 62 pages, de¬ 
voted almost exclusively to the peony, and tells all that one would know of 
the history, culture, and varieties of that flower. Send for a copy. It is 
free.

Success with narcissus bulbs grown indoors in fibre and water, or gravel and water, 
depends upon the size and vitality of the bulbs used. Bulbs to flower well should 
measure not less than 5 inches (13 centimeters) in circumference. We offer the 
cream of a crop of unusual high quality, at prices lower than usual. Prepaid to you: 
12 medium bulbs (13 centimeters) 60 cents; 12 fancy bulbs (1+ centimeters) 70
