BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE 
Too new to be rated. Pink. Large, beautiful flowers; a rather uni' 
form lavender'pink. Irregular petals in unique irregular formation. 
The prominent guards stand out from the rest of the flower; very 
attractive from a distance. The entire flower is climaxed by a strik¬ 
ing rosebud effect. Blooms carried well above the foliage on strong 
stems. A late Peony, remarkable both as a show flower and land¬ 
scape variety. A Brand Division $3.00 
REINE HORTENSE 
A show flower usually found in the winning classes. Sometimes sold 
under the name of President Taft. Tall growing, it produces lots of 
large perfectly formed flowers on long, stiff stems. Color a uniform 
hydrangea-pink, minutely splashed on a white background; also 
prominently flecked with crimson. Truly a wonderful flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
ROSAMOND GRANT 
This lovely pink seedling was named fully two years ago, but 
we have never been able to list it in our catalog. This variety 
was displayed in large vases in our show room last summer. 
We received many orders for it which we filled in the fall. 
We have five most excellent roots to offer this spring. It is 
a late midseason deep salmon-pink. The plant is thrifty and 
blooms profusely. This is another variety that we cannot offer 
again for two years. A Brand Division $10.00 
ROSE SHAYLOR 
A very large midseason pale flesh-pink, tinted with rose-pink, lighter 
at the edges and shading to creamy yellow at the base of the petals; 
center petals strongly marked crimson on the edges. The plant is 
tall, strong, free flowering with good foliage on stiff stems. Another 
one of Mr. Shaylor’s fine Peonies. A Brand Division $3.00 
SARAH BERNHARDT 
Another variety that prevails in the show room. So well known, it 
seems unnecessary to say that it should be in every garden. Semi- 
rose type. Late midseason. Color apple-blossom-pink with each 
petal silver tipped. Agreeable fragrance. A Brand Division $1.00 
SILVIA SAUNDERS 
A beautiful little flower remindful of a semi-double wild prairie rose. 
Semi-double blooms open out flat, slightly cupped. Around the edge 
is a double row of wide rounded rose colored petals which in turn 
surround a central cluster of short stamens with delicate light green 
carpels, tipped bright pink. Delicately beautiful—a Peony master¬ 
piece. A Brand Division $5.00 
SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT 
Salmon-pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the 
base, turning to a salmon-pink. Resembles Walter Faxon in color 
but stands up much better in the field. A Brand Division $2.00 
THERESE 
Very large; somewhat loosely built; long, narrow, pointed petals. 
Plant of medium height with strong stems. Usually produces large 
typical flowers, even on 1-year plants, if they are allowed to bloom. 
Early midseason pink, fading toward the center, and illumined by a 
golden yellow glow in the depths. A supreme flower for exhibition 
purposes. A Brand Division $2.00 
TOURANGELLE 
Pink. Rose type; late midseason; a vigorous grower, bearing large 
high-built flowers with cupped centers. Color delicate pearly white, 
suffused with shades of delicate salmon and La France rose. Has a 
weak stem but the coloring is unusual and superb. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
WALTER FAXON 
A remarkable flower, at its best in the show room. Cut in the bud, 
held in a dark cool room for a day or two, then brought into the 
light, it develops as a flower of wonderful coloring and exquisite 
beauty. Color the most vivid of all pinks, the only “real pink” as 
someone has said. To anyone acquainted with its color, a mere 
glance over the show room will disclose every vase of this beautiful 
flower. Flowers medium size, attractive in form. In the fields it does 
not hold up as well as Souv. de Louis Bigot, to which it is similar 
in color. Unique for show purposes or home decoration. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
EVANGELINE NEWHALL, ROSAMOND GRANT, and 
L. W. POLLOCK are outstanding new varieties. When the 
spring season is over, we cannot offer these again for two years.

jrj AIIJIC A beautiful new Japanese, first offered by us in 1932. 
A vase of Prairie Afire exhibited by us at the Des 
^P| D£ Moines Show was the sensation of the show. We 
offered it that year and sold every root we could 
spare of it at $15.00 per root. Prairie Afire is a new and entirely 
distinct break in color in Japanese Peonies. The guards are broad 
and a soft creamy rose with good substance. These surround a 
great ball of brilliant fiery red staminodes. The flower should be 
cut in the bud and developed inside when the result is simply 
marvelous. A Brand Division $5.00
