8.3 MARIE JACQUIN ( Verdier) 
A midseason flower with purest white guards; then a collar of yeh 
low stamens surrounding a row of shorter pure white petals, then 
a tuft of yellow stamens, giving the flower a pronounced Waterlily 
effect. One of the most dainty Peonies in the list. The stems are 
erect, a clean, light green, as is also the foliage. The flower is semi- 
double, held perfectly erect, and on young plants it often comes a 
beautiful single. A Brand Division #1.00 
MISS SALWAY (Kelway) 
This variety opens a delicate flesh-pink with a creamy white collar 
of smaller petals irregularly notched, which gives the bloom a 
dainty, lacy appearance. It has a sweet fragrance and is in every 
way a most desirable flower. A Brand Division #2.00 
9.6 MRS. A. M. BRAND (A. M. Brand) 
Pure white. When this flower was a two-year-old, we were first 
attracted by its large, uniform, remarkable white blooms; the clean, 
thrifty, light green stocks; the luxuriant foliage. Blooms cut in the 
bud and taken inside develop in remarkable form. Opens a pure, 
glistening white; pure rose type; a large, flat flower with prominent 
guards and petals of wonderful substance. Received the Gold 
Medal of the American Peony Society, St. Paul, 1923. Very late. 
A Brand Division #4.00 
9.3 MRS. EDWARD HARDING (Shoylor) 
A midseason, free-flowering white of perfect form and delicate, 
lacy quality. The plant is of medium height, with stiff stems and 
excellent foliage. A Brand Division #2.00 
9.0 MRS. FRANK BEACH (A. M. Brand) 
Ivory-white. A very large, flat, perfect rose type flower with long, 
narrow, laciniated petals of the same lacy effect as in Jubilee. Blooms 
equally large as Jubilee but borne finely erect on rather dwarfish 
plants with very strong stems. Much as we admire Jubilee, it is 
handicapped by a weak stem. Mrs. Frank Beach is a glorified 
Jubilee. Deep cream, it fades but little even when developed in the 
field. Like Le Cygne, this variety develops a flower true to type 
even on a yearling. Blooms profusely as a two-year-old. Received 
an Award of Merit, American Peony Society, London, Ontario, 
1922. Late midseason. Sweetly fragrant. A Brand Division #3.00 
9.1 MRS. HARRIET GENTRY (A. M. Brand) 
A very late perfect rose type variety. Petals are very large, of the 
purest glistening white. Deep in the center of the flower you will 
find a touch of that peculiar pinkish tint for which Solange is 
famous. This is one of our latest white Peonies to bloom and is 
one of the most refined flowers in this list. A Brand Division #4.00 
7.9 MME. DE VERNEVILLE (Crousse) 
We feel this variety is much under-rated. Flower large, very full, 
bomb type. Guard petals sulphur white; center petals rose-white 
with carmine touches. Good substance. Stems, long and strong. 
An ideal cut flower. Pleasing fragrance. Comes into bloom after 
Festiva Maxima, and we regard it superior in beauty. 
A Brand Division #1.00 
8.9 MME. EMILE LEMOINE (Lemoine) 
White. A rare, beautiful Peony; strong grower, free bloomer. 
Flowers very large, uniform in shape and size. Plant rather tall 
with strong, erect stems. Bloom is very perfect in form, with large, 
rounded roselike petals of a tender glossy white, overlaid with a 
sheen of delicate satiny pink, covered with tiny dots of deeper pink. 
Petals of great substance. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.0 NINA SECOR (Secor) 
Flowers medium to large. Tall, graceful, light green stems. Rather 
narrow, clean, light green foliage. Bloom absolutely pure white, 
of true rose type. Built high with a cupped rosebud center. Very 
fragrant. One of the very best pure whites. Much like Kelway’s 
Glorious. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.8 NYMPHAEA (Thurlow) 
Large flat flowers with wide, silky petals of delicate creamy white, 
notched at tips, edges somewhat rolled; yellow stamens in center 
reflect a golden light throughout. Fragrant. Early midseason. Re¬ 
mindful of a Waterlily only much larger and more beautiful than 
any Waterlily we have ever seen. Very refined; a real addition to 
our growing list of good Peonies. More semi-double than rose type.

REV. H. TRAGITT (A. M. Brand) 
White. Very large, of true rose type. Great blooms of the most 
perfect form resemble large balls of snow. The dwarf plants with 
strong stems hold the great white blooms erect. Very sturdy, even 
growth. Planted in rows, they present a remarkable sight when in 
bloom. So profuse, the blooms cover the whole plant with a solid 
mass of white. Usually pure white, yet occasionally a faint trace of 
red shows on an inner petal. Globular in form; great broad snow- 
white petals of great substance. This variety resembles Le Cygne 
but it is late while Le Cygne is early. A Brand Division #3.00 
ROBERT E. LEE (Double) (A. M. Brand) 
A beautiful snow-white that we have had under test since 1922. 
A pure white flower that makes a wonderful showing when 
grown in mass. Several years ago we had this variety on four- 
year plants in a row about 100 feet long. The plants were 
disbudded and when they came to bloom they were truly a 
wonderful sight. Every available inch of space was filled with 
the pure white flowers and the row reminded one of a great 
drift of snow. A Brand Division #10.00 
9.7 SOLANGE (Lemoine) 
This is a variety that is hard to classify. It might be classed with 
the light pinks, but it is neither a white nor a pink, but a suffusion 
of buff and pale salmon-pink. A late variety with tight buds that 
sometimes fail to open. When well grown this variety has perfect 
form and unusual coloring. Always a favorite the year when it 
comes good. A Brand Division #2.00 
SUSAN B. WHITE (A. M. Brand) 
A pure white of very fine form and large size. Plant tall, luxuriant 
dark green foliage. Individual blooms very large; petals very long 
and narrow, form a great compact dome-shaped flower with large 
guards drooping gracefully away from the balance of the flower. 
Pure white, tinted heavily cream, with green showing at base of 
petals. A Brand Division #3.00 
YELLOW PEONIES 
All yellow varieties should be cut in the bud and developed inside to 
bring out the best color effect. 
7.7 FANNY CROSBY (Brand) 
An early yellow Peony with pink guard petals that is growing in 
favor more each year as it becomes better known. The plant is 
strong, thrifty, and very floriferous. The side buds come into 
bloom with the main flower and if left on the plant they make a 
wonderful showing. A Brand Division #1.50 
8.6 GOLDEN DAWN (Gumm) 
Anemone type; midseason. Yellowish center with broad guard pet¬ 
als of ivory-white. Similar in color to Primevere and Laura Dessert. 
For best color effects, all yellow Peonies should be cut in the bud 
and developed inside. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.8 LAURA DESSERT ( Dessert) 
The flower is round, of rose type. Guard petals creamy white, 
enclosing a domelike center of pure canary-yellow. Like Fanny 
Crosby, the plant is an upright grower, holding blossoms erect for 
good landscape value. Like all yellows, it must be developed in¬ 
side away from the sun to preserve its color. Early midseason. 
We have very few roots of Laura Dessert to offer this spring. 
A Brand Division #3.00 
8.6 PRIMEVERE (Lemoine) 
A fine yellow Peony. Guard petals creamy white, enclosing a cen¬ 
tral ball of sulphur-yellow. If cut in the bud, as it begins to open, 
so the flower may develop away from the sun, it will hold a clear 
yellow color; very beautiful. A Brand Division #1.50
