8.8 ADDIELANCHEA (Brand) 
A Peony of the rose type. Creamy white with base of center petals 
yellow. Guard petals are prominently flecked with crimson; the 
crown petals slightly so. A fine Peony, comparable to Enchantress 
and Grace Loomis. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.6 ARGENTINE (Lemoine) 
A late midseason globular white, with symmetrically arranged pet- 
als of splendid substance. Fragrance pronounced and good. A very 
high class white that we personally think is one of the best new 
Peonies from Europe in recent years. A Brand Division #2.50 
8.7 AVALANCHE (Crousse) 
Large, compactly built—a globular cone-shaped flower. Blossom 
develops a distinct creamy white collar, surrounding a center of 
delicately tinted lilac-white petals with a few wide petals edged with 
tracings of carmine. Medium height plant; strong and upright; 
a profuse bloomer. Splendid for landscape effect and a wonderful 
show flower. At the National Show in Ontario this variety was 
adjudged the best specimen bloom in the show. Avalanche and 
Albatre are one and the same. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.8 BALL O' COTTON (Franklin) 
Late midseason. This is an outstanding fragrant white. It is an 
excellent show flower and is also a good garden variety. The plant 
is of medium height with strong stems and good foliage. One of 
the very best of the new white Peonies. Won first over all whites 
on a vase of 20 splendid specimens at the Northwest Peony show 
in 1927. A Brand Division #1.50 
9.0 BARONESS SCHROEDER (Kelway) 
This is considered one of the finest Peonies grown. When the last 
symposium was taken, this variety received a rating of 9.0 after 79 
people had voted. When the buds first open, they are a delicate 
blush, but the flower soon fades to a milky white. This is a variety 
that should be found in every collection. It comes into bloom late, 
after most of the white Peonies are gone. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.0 DENISE (Lemoine) 
This very large white opens a faint blush-pink showing red mark¬ 
ings on its center petals. The flower has a delightful rose fragrance 
and is most dependable. Strong, upright stems are of medium 
height. The flower is of exquisite form and appearance. A new 
Lemoine variety of the highest quality. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.1 DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS (Calot) 
A very early, fragrant, pure creamy white. The guard petals are 
white with a full center of light canary-yellow, deepening to pale 
green at the base. An excellent garden variety. 
A Brand Division #1.00 
DR. F. R. HUXLEY (A. M. Brand) 
A medium sized white. As a rule the flower is an absolutely pure 
white of very rich appearance, so rich that we believe this flower 
will be classed among the very best. The flower is high built; 
the petals large, broad, and of heavy substance. A very choice 
flower. This is a flower that we have had under test since 1922 
and we now send it out for the first time believing it will receive 
general approval. A Brand Division #10.00 
9.1 E. B. BROWNING (Brand) 
A very late white coming into bloom with Marie Lemoine. The 
buds of this variety are often as large as the entire blooms of other 
fair-sized Peonies. The bud opens slowly, and as the petals unfold, 
a delicate pink coloring appears; the inner surface of the petals 
being washed with the most delicate pinkish canary. The perfume 
of the flowers is strong and sweet. The variety is so late that it is 
seldom seen in Peony shows. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.9 ENCHANTRESS (Lemoine) 
A charming very late white. An excellent show flower. Prolong 
your blooming seasos by adding this excellent variety to your list. 
We understand that this is not a good flower for the South, as it is 
very late and does not open well, but 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 
9.3 FESTIVA MAXIMA (Meillez) 
An early true rose type with broad guard petals surrounding a 
compact inner mass of rich white petals flecked crimson. This is a 
good early garden variety to use for cut flowers, but as a rule, 
comes too early for a show flower. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.1 FRANCES WILLARD (Brand) 
Frances Willard is a very fine white which we believe gives uni¬ 
versal satisfaction. It opens an exquisite blush white, occasionally 
with a carmine touch, changing pure white. Usually found in the 
winning classes in every show room. Midseason, comes into bloom 
with Mary Brand. (A gorgeous Peony named for a great woman). 
A Brand Division #1.50 
9.3 FRANKIE CURTIS ( Vories) 
This variety is really a white Mons. Jules Elie. It is a large flower 
with a slight tracing of pink on the central petals. The guards are 
large and prominent and are surmounted by a great ball of narrow 
petals. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.7 JAMES KELWAY (Kelway) 
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 is strong and pleasing. 
A Brand Division #1.00 
8.9 JUBILEE (Pleas) 
Very large, flat, ivory-white flowers. Petals long, narrow and loosely 
arranged, producing a very attractive feathery effect. Everyone 
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 
9.8 KELWAY'S GLORIOUS (Kelway) 
Midseason. 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 resembles 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 #3.00 
8.6 LA LORRAINE (Lemoine) 
Midseason. A large flower, nicely rounded, with great broad petals 
beautifully arranged. Color a soft even shade of creamy pink. In 
our opinion, this flower is not fully appreciated, for it is one of the 
choicest of all Peonies and should rate well above 9.0. From our 
first observation of the flower, this has been our constant impres¬ 
sion. When shown together with magnificent blooms of Le Cygne, 
Kelway’s Glorious, Therese and Mme. Jules Dessert, we have seen 
blooms of La Lorraine which showed up equally beautiful; and we 
think it is just as good a flower as any of them. 
A Brand Division #2.00 
8.4 LAURA VORIES (Vories) 
A late midseason blush-white. Large, undulated guard petals sur¬ 
round a low, globular center of fine rosebud form, which opens to 
disclose stamens in the depths; white with blush pink center, thread¬ 
like crimson edge on some of center petals, and a golden white 
suffusion in the collar; mildly fragrant. A beautifully formed flower. 
A Brand Division #3.00 
8.3 LA ROSIERE (Crousse) 
Large flowers in clusters; straw-yellow at the center, shading to a 
creamy white border—this is indeed a striking variety. Pleasing 
fragrance. The flower is loose, showing a band of yellow stamens 
which light up the flower with a yellowish cast. 
A Brand Division #1.00 
9.9 LE CYGNE (Lemoine) 
A flower of true rose type, perfect in form. Creamy white with no 
tracings of color. Strong, medium height stems; each one produces 
a perfect bloom. Flowers large and delightfully fragrant. Le Cygne 
is the highest rated Peony and fully deserves its rating. Early mid- 
season. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.7 LORCH (Goos & Koenemann) 
Outer petals very large, pure snow-white, incurving over a pale 
lemon and cream center, with pale crimson tracings on edge of 
center petals. A plant of good habit; large, nicely shaped flowers, 
held well up. Blooms not only of splendid color but also of beauti¬ 
ful form. One of the very best of the G. 6? K. varieties; indeed a 
beautiful Peony. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.5 MARIE LEMOINE (Calot) 
A sulphur-white, occasionally showing a carmine tip. This variety 
has a pleasing and pronounced fragrance. It is one of our latest 
whites. A Brand Division #1.00
