The Brand Peonies 
originated by O. F. Brand and Son, America’s foremost 
hybridizers of the peony. Good peonies naturally divide 
themselves into the following two classes: 
1. Those which are beautiful only when carefully 
nourished and whose beauty must be developed 
inside, away from the sun. 
2. Those which develop and retain their beauty 
in the field often times under the most adverse 
conditions. 
Into this last class fall the Brand varieties as they were 
selected, because they could stand the acid test of the 
peony, which is the held test. The flower that will stand 
right out in the field day after day in the blazing sun 
and still be the almost universal choice of thousands of 
visitors as they inspect the fields, is a good flower. 
Our Chestine Gowdy and Phoebe Cary were first and 
second prize winners, American Peony Society National 
Show, Cleveland, Ohio. Two best Peonies introduced 
since 1910 Mary Brand, first Red and Martha Bulloch, 
first pink out of a possible four firsts in the color classes 
at the Great Show just held by the North Western 
Peony and Iris Society at St. Paul, Minn.
