PINK PEONIES —All Shades, ;? Light, Medium and Deep 
A. G. PERRY (A. M. Brand) 
New. Early midseason. Plant of fine upright habit, medium height, 
with nice clean stems and foliage. Petals of splendid substance and 
rich in appearance. Color a rich old ivory, tinted delicate rosy pink, 
with zones of deeper pink radiating from the center of the flower 
to the edge of the petals. General color effect flesh-pink fading to 
white in the field. Splendid both as a show and a landscape flower. 
This is one of our newest Peonies. Very few people have it. We 
think it one of our very best. It is a Peony that the most exacting 
will like to add to their collections. A Brand Division #5.00 
8.6 ALBERT CROUSSE (Crousse) 
Albert, Felix, and Marie Crousse are three noteworthy Peonies. 
Albert Crousse is a beautiful soft shelbpink with narrow compact 
petals. An outstanding late midseason variety. If your garden 
needs a substantial late light pink, you will be pleased with this 
variety. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.1 ASA GRAY (Crousse) 
Properly grown in suitable soil, this is a beautiful Peony. Thrives 
best in heavy dark loams. Flowers are large, of true rose-type. 
Guard petals are salmon-pink, thickly marked with minute specks 
of deeper pink. Easy to identify. A prolific bloomer. Fragrant.

BLANCHE KING (A. M. Brand) 
Deep pink. Peony lovers have been constantly searching for a 
good deep, late pink. We have now found this flower in Blanche 
King. This new variety is of wonderful size, symmetrical, and of 
true rose type. It is a glowing deep pink that holds its color in the 
field and also develops into a wonderful show flower. This variety 
was first exhibited at the National Peony Show held in London, 
Ont., Canada, in 1922. Here it received an award of merit and 
attracted a great deal of attention. At the late St. Paul Show it was 
awarded the prize for the best flower at the show and also won 
first in a class of twenty best dark pinks. One of the latest to bloom.

8.4 CHESTINE GOWDY (Brand) 
This is a striking specimen of the cone-shaped Peony. The broad 
outer petals are silvery pink. These enclose a zone of fine, irregu¬ 
larly shaped, closely set petals, of deep rich cream, which in turn 
surround a prominent cone of broad pink petals, splashed and 
tipped with crimson. Its varied coloring has repeatedly caused it 
to be singled out for special admiration from a group of the finest 
varieties. This is a late variety with delicate fragrance. A very 
thrifty variety and a profuse bloomer. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.7 CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse) 
A late flower of immense globular form, with long incurved petals 
of a uniform shade of clear violet-rose, tipped silvery white. It has 
that same wonderful attractiveness possessed by Mons. Jules Elie. 
They are much the same in color but Claire Dubois is late where 
Mons. Jules Elie is early. The best cut flower of its color in its 
season. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.1 CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shoylor) 
We think that this is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best Peonies. A very 
late variety with heavy stems and excellent foliage. It opens a de¬ 
cided pink but gradually fades to an almost pure white with a 
greenish tint at the base of the petals. A Brand Division #4.00 
8.9 DIADEM (Franklin) 
A large, late, dark, fragrant pink. The plant has stiff stems and 
foliage low on stems. Won Silver Medal, St. Paul National Show, 
1934. A Brand Division #8.00 
7.6 EDULIS SUPERBA (Lemon) 
This is the first good early deep pink. It sometimes opens for 
Decoration Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne 
profusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a 
beautiful deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut flowers in its 
color and season. This flower deserves a much higher rating and 
should be planted because of its earliness and general good qualities.

9.1 EDWIN C. SHAW (Thurlow) 
A large cup-shaped flower, borne on strong stems. Outer petals 
are broad, rounded with carmine tracings; inner petals graduate 
smaller and shorter to the center. Color a clear shell-pink. Highly 
impressed as we are with all of Thurlow’s seedlings which we have 
grown and admired, this variety is now our favorite. First we 
thought President Wilson to be the finest of the lot; yet now, after 
years of comparison, we have shifted our preference to E. C. Shaw.

9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A . M. Brand) 
Pink. Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christian¬ 
sen is so distinct from the delicate pinks in coloring as to be a real 
acquisition. The flower is exceedingly large, both on the plant in 
the field and when handled as a cut flower. As a bloomer, it is 
probably the most profuse of this exclusive list. Petals are long, 
narrow, and heavily serrated on the edges. The flower first opens 
cup-shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Christiansen re¬ 
ceives the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like it better 
every year. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.3 EUGENE VERDIER < C alot) 
A very pretty flower when cut in the bud and developed inside, 
when it retains all of its delicacy of coloring. A bright flesh pink 
with delicate but distinct yellow shadings showing in the collar. 
Late midseason, plant medium dwarf, with strong stems. 
. A Brand Division #1.50 
8.6 EUGENIE VERDIER (Colot) 
An ideal pink variety, coming into bloom early midseason. Semi- 
rose type. Opens a fresh delicate hydrangea-pink with primary 
petals lighter, and the center of flushed crimson. Fragrant. 
A Brand Division #1.00 
8.9 EUNICE SHAYLOR (Shoylor) 
A midseason semi-double variety; beautiful on matured plants. 
Outer petals are a light pink. Center petals are a flesh white with 
a circle of golden stamens around the center tuft. A good show 
flower. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.1 GALATHEE (Lemoine) 
Here is a flower that for some reason has been overlooked. It is a 
beautiful variety that we would rate very close to 9.0. We would 
place it in a class with such flowers as Sarah Bernhardt, Rosa Bon- 
heur, and other such high class flowers. Extremely late and very 
fine. Beautiful light pink. A Brand Division #1.50 
8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shoylor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink. Fragrance pleasing; plant 
medium height; floriferous; good stems and foliage. If Mr. Shaylor 
had never produced another Peony, this one alone would immor¬ 
talize his name among Peony lovers. Exceptionally fine for garden 
decoration and cutting and also a great exhibition flower. 
A Brand Division #1.50 
8.8 GRANDIFLORA (Richardson) 
A soft shell-pink, shading to white with faint shadings of rose. 
When one thinks the Peony season ended, he can still go out and 
cut fine blooms of Grandiflora. For this reason Grandiflora should 
be in every garden. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.1 HANSINA BRAND (A. M. Brand) 
A flower of beautiful form and great size. Plant very tall and strong; 
holds the mammoth blooms erect. Color glistening flesh-pink with 
a salmon reflex shading toward the base of the petals. Very dis¬ 
tinct. As it fades, it resembles a perfectly formed specimen of So- 
lange, for which it is often mistaken in our show room. Yet Solange 
sometimes fails to develop its flowers at all or produces imperfect 
bloom, while Hansina Brand comes good every year. One of the 
very best of this particular group. In 1933 at the Chicago Exposi¬ 
tion, Hansina Brand was awarded the Farr Memorial Gold Medal 
for the best flower in the entire show. This flower was exhibited 
by Mr. C. W. Bunn of St. Paul. In 1934 at the National Show 
held in St. Paul, Hansina Brand was again awarded the Farr Me¬ 
morial Medal as the best flower in the show.

Fall—Order Early to Avoid Disappointment 
9.0 HAZEL KINNEY (A. M. Brond) 
I can still remember this beautiful flower as it appeared on the plant 
the first time. The form was so superb and the color so pure; it 
impressed us at once as a flower of great promise, which it since 
has proved. A great show flower when displayed alongside the 
very best. True rose type. Color a delicate clear hydrangea-pink. 
Medium height plant; clean, light green foliage; late midseason; a 
prolific bloomer. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.8 HENRY AVERY (Brond) 
A late midseason variety. Guards and center petals a bright light 
pink. Between the guard and center petals is a very distinct collar, 
from an inch to an inch and a half wide, of creamy yellow petals. 
This gives the flower a very striking appearance. This is a hand¬ 
some Peony making a fine garden variety as well as a striking show 
variety. A Brand Division #1.00
