Brandis Gold Medal Peonies 
T he one great prize given by the American Peony Society, at its 
Annual National Show, is the Gold Medal awarded to the winner 
of first in Class One, calling for a display of one bloom each of not more 
than 100 varieties. At the 
National Show, held this 
year in St. Paul, Minnesota, 
the Brand Peony Farms 
was awarded the first prize 
in this class and the Gold 
Medal. 
We were also awarded 
the Gold Medal and Silver 
Medal and two Awards of 
Merit on our display of new 
seedling peonies, all of our 
own originating. Further¬ 
more, this display of new 
peonies was declared by 
competent judges to be 
“the greatest display of 
new peonies ever shown at 
one time by any originator.” 
If you wish to plant 
peony roots this fall from 
such stock as this you will 
want our new Peony and 
Iris catalog. This book is 
more than a catalog. It is 
really a Peony iManual. It 
gives you the story of our fifty years’ work with the Peony. It gives 
complete information of the care, of varieties, and of the history of the 
peony. If you do not have a copy and intend purchasing roots this 
fall, it is free. Otherwise we ask 35c per copy for it.
