HTHE beauty of your lawn is at the mercy of the weather; so also, is the success of your 
*■ garden—unless their welfare is ensured by the modern way of making “rain.” 
Cornell Irrigation Systems—Overhead, Underground and Portable—are equipped with patented, adjustable 
Rain Cloud Nozzles which give you absolute control of your “rainfall” at all times. They can be installed 
at any time, without injury to the lawn or garden, and to cover any area. 
Why be dependent upon the weather’s vagaries? Write for the free illustrated booklet which describes 
the economical, simple and efficient Cornell Systems.

The name Brand attached 
to a new peony 
signifies a masterpiece 
For the last 20 years we have been actively engaged 
in the production of new Peonies by cross fertilization 
and the most rigid selection. And in all this time al¬ 
though operating on a large scale have selected and 
sent out only between 20 and 30 sorts. 
In 1918 at the National Peony Show, at Cleveland, Ohio, two 
Brand Sorts —Chestine Gowdy and Phoebe Carey took 1st and 
2nd prizes as the two best varieties introduced since 1910. 
At the great Northwestern Peony and Iris Society Show, this 
year, held at St. Paul, in the largest show ever staged in the 
North West, in the color classes in competition with the world's 
best Foreign and American sorts, out of a possible four firsts 
offered Brand Varieties took two firsts. 
MARTHA BULLOCH—1st Medium pink 
MARY BRAND—1st red 
At this same show in the Seedling Class fifty-two varieties com¬ 
peting, 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes all went to Brand varieties. 
1st Prize—Victory Chateau Thierry—an immense medium pink 
2nd Prize—Myrtle Gentry—an immense light pink 
If you want a good peony buy a Brand Peony. 
We also carry a complete list of all the best sorts of other 
growers European as well as American.
