8.2 DARKNESS (Brand) 
Red. Large; very dark maroon with darker markings in lower half 
of petals, surrounding a bold cluster of golden stamens. Tall, strong 
stems. Good bloomer. Very early. A Brand Division $1.00 
EDITH WEST (Brand) 
White. This variety resembles Albiflora. It comes into bloom after 
Albiflora has gone. The flower is not quite as large, but the petals 
have more substance and the plant does not have the sprawling 
habit of Albiflora. A fine landscape variety.

FLANDERS FIELDS (A. M. Brand) 
Red. A few years ago in one of our seedling beds of many varie¬ 
ties, we noticed a most conspicuous red. Even from 20 rods’ dis¬ 
tance, this brilliant color stood out from all the others. Every year, 
in every way, it has proven a splendid flower. A single of the most 
brilliant red. Two rows of petals surround a large prominent center 
of golden stamens. Petals of great substance stand out flat; rich 
and velvety in appearance. A Brand Division $4.00 
8.7 HARRIET OLNEY (Brand) 
This variety is one of the very earliest of our singles to give color 
to our fields. It opens a deep rose but gradually changes to a soft 
rose-pink. The plant is medium tall with straight stiff stems which 
hold the flower well erect. A very fine landscape variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
KRINKLED WHITE (A. M. Brand) 
White. First noticeable in the bud which resembles the bud of a 
pale pink Tulip just ready to burst. The bud is comparatively small 
and beautiful in effect. As it opens, it expands into a large flower 
with great broad, pure white petals, crinkled crepe paper. Stems 
tall, straight, slender but strong; clean light green. Award of Merit, 
Des Moines National Show. A Brand Division $3.00 
LACINIATA 
Bright scarlet. If you wish a Peony that will give you bloom about 
two weeks earlier than Officinalis Rubra, you must have this variety. 
It comes with bloom a few days earlier than the finely cut-foliaged 
Peony, Tenuifolia, but is distinctly different from the Chinensis 
varieties. It is not so hard to propagate as Tenuifolia, and we feel 
that it is just as satisfactory. It is of no value as a cut flower but 
it brings color to the flower garden very early in the season.

8.4 L'ETINCELANTE ( Dessert) 
Dark pink. Very large flowers decidedly cup-shaped; great broad 
petals of deep bright pink, heavily margined with silver; a large 
center of bright yellow stamens. A Brand Division $1.50 
SINGLE PEONIES 
It is not long since there was no demand for either single or Japanese 
Peonies. The double varieties only were in demand. However, in recent 
years, flower lovers have come to see that the more delicate single and 
Japanese varieties have an artistic value of their own. If varieties have 
been selected for substance in the bloom, as are those we offer, these 
types are wonderfully decorative both in the garden and as cut flowers. 
Another important reason for adding some to your collection of Peonies 
is that they come earlier than the double sorts and so prolong the period 
of bloom. 
There is some confusion in the minds of many as to the precise char¬ 
acteristics of these two types. The single Peony consists of one or two 
rows of guard petals enclosing a tuft of yellow stamens. The Japanese 
Peony also has one or two rows of guard petals but these enclose a 
tufted center composed of narrow petals or of petaloids of various colors. 
These are often edged by remnants of anthers. 
MAN O' WAR (A. M. Brand) 
This is the first time we have listed this new single. When the 
variety becomes well known, we believe it will stand at the top 
of all red singles. It is an exceedingly bright red with a great 
deal of scarlet in its color. The guard petals enclose a very 
large center of intensely rich yellow stamens. The stems are 
strong and erect. When the plant is well established, each stem 
carries a large flower. The plant is so covered with these large 
blooms that the foliage is hardly visible.

8.5 MARGUERITE DESSERT ( Dessert) 
A midseason white variety thickly powdered with pale rose-pink 
dots; small cluster of golden yellow stamens in the center; carpels 
tipped red; pleasing fragrance. Plant tall with strong stems and 
good foliage; a very free-blooming sort. A Brand Division $1.50 
MELLEN KNIGHT (Brand) 
Red. Tall, straight growing; strong enough to hold the flowers well 
up. Petals long, narrow, and evenly rounded on the edges, giving 
a beautiful effect both at close examination and from a distance. 
Color a bright rich crimson. Extra good. A Brand Dviision $1.00 
MISCHIEF (Auten) 
A uniform soft pink that blooms late after most single flowers have 
passed. This variety always attracts a great deal of attention when 
exhibited at flower shows. A Brand Division $2.00 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. The great red single. Of the many single 
reds that we have tested out, this is unquestionably the best. A tall 
variety with strong, stout stems. Flowers large for a single, held 
straight up. Two rows of brilliant red petals of most perfect form 
surround a very striking center of rich yellow stamens. Holds its 
color well in the sun. A Brand Division $5.00 
8.9 PRIDE OF LANGPORT (Kelway) 
Pink. An immense flower of brilliant, soft peach-pink. Wonder¬ 
fully beautiful; retains its color in the sun almost a week after it 
opens; the finest light single. A Brand Division $3.00 
SCHMIDT (Goos & Koenemann) 
A large early silvery pink. If not disbudded, the large clusters of 
flowers are very decorative. The plant is tall with showy stems. 
• A Brand Division $1.50 
TENUIFOLIA SIMPLEX 
This is the single form of the Fern Leaf Peony. The flower is a 
brilliant single red consisting of one row of petals surrounding a 
bright center of yellow stamens. The foliage is very finely cut 
and the plant after blooming is attractive all through the summer. 
This variety, the single, is very hardy, and will stand up through 
the winter in trying locations where the double form might not.

WATTEAU < Goos Cr Koenemann) 
Not yet rated. White. Large, snow-white guard petals. Center 
flesh with a mass of golden stamens. Resembles Albiflora, the 
Bride, but comes into bloom much later. A Brand Division $2.00

sions within the 5th zone. All orders for Peonies 
amounting to $5.00 OR MORE will be sent PRE¬ 
PAID in the United States.
