Brand’s Gold Medal Peonies 
nPHE one great prize given by the American Peony Society at 
its Annual National Show is the Gold Medal awarded to the 
winner of first in Class One, calling for a display of one bloom 
each of not more than ioo varieties. At the National Show held 
this year in St. Paul, Minnesota, the Brand Peony Farms was 
awarded the first prize 
in this class and the 
Gold Medal. 
We were also awarded 
the Gold Medal and 
Silver Medal and two 
Awards of Merit on our 
display of new seedling 
peonies, all of our own 
originating. Further¬ 
more, this display of 
new peonies was declared 
by competent judges to 
be “the greatest display 
of new peonies ever 
shown at one time by 
any originator.” 
If you wish to plant 
peony roots this fall from 
such stock as this, you will 
want our new Peony and 
Iris catalogue. This book 
is more than a catalogue. 
It is really a Peony Manual. 
It gives you the story of 
our fifty years’ work with the Peony. It gives complete information of 
the care, of varieties, and of the history of the Peony. If you do not have 
a copy and intend purchasing roots this fall, it is free. Otherwise, we ask 
35c per copy for it.

cause of Callahan standardization. And it is surprising what a wealth 
of fruit, flowers and pleasure even a small greenhouse will yield. Big clusters 
of luscious grapes, fragrant red roses from Christmas to Easter, the constant 
companionship of growing things—and ever-ready inspiration to the tired business 
man or woman. 
There is still time to have a Callahan Greenhouse this winter if you act 
promptly.

20-page catalogue that shows by word and picture how easy
