TOP-NOTCH REDS 
8.5 ADOLPHE ROUSSEAU (Dessert & Mectiin) 
One of the very good early dark reds. The plant is very tall and 
holds its flowers so erect that it makes a fine showing. One of the 
finest of all red Peonies as a landscape variety. A great dark flower 
that looks almost black and unusually rich when viewed from a dis- 
tance. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.7 AUGUSTE DESSERT ( Dessert) 
A large midseason rose-red, with large round petals, each edged 
with a distinct, narrow silver border. Plant of medium height and 
a prolific bloomer. A brilliant light red that is very distinct in color 
and form and a most desirable sort. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 MONS. MARTIN CAHUZAC (Dessert) 
If you wish the darkest red Peony grown, order this one. Flowers 
medium to large, rose type, with stamens. Color a deep maroon* 
red. One of the most earnestly sought Peonies. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA 
' This bright red variety comes into bloom a few days after Tenui- 
folia Flora Plena. As a rule, we find we can always cut a few flowers 
for our Decoration Day trade. This is a very old variety, but a 
very desirable one and should be in every Peony planting because 
of its earliness. A Brand Division $1.00 
7.8 CHARLES McKELLIP (Brand) 
From the rating this Peony received years ago, one might think it 
was not a desirable variety. We have always felt it deserved a much 
higher rating and our customers have always been pleased with this 
fine red. It comes into bloom just after Mary Brand, and we con* 
sider it as fine a Peony. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.6 CHERRY HILL (Thurlow) 
Red. A very tall growing semi-double bright dark red that is early, 
and splendid as a landscape variety. The color is a deep garnet, 
with a sheen so rich that the variety is very noticeable among all 
other reds. For best effects this variety should not be disbudded. 
Awarded a silver medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
COMMANDER (A. M. Brand) 
An extra large, high built flower; very compact. A cone-shaped 
rose type Peony. Color a true self solferino-red. Although late, it 
blooms consistently, which cannot be said of most late varieties. 
After every other red is gone you can still go out and bring in ex¬ 
cellent flowers of this variety. A real acquisition to our reds. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
8.4 DAVID HARUM (Brand) 
The flowers are very large with prominent guard petals surround¬ 
ing a great ball of closely packed petals of the same shade. The 
entire flower is an even shade of soft Tyrian rose, without stamens. 
An upright growing plant with very strong stems that hold their 
great blooms erect. One of the very best landscape reds. This va¬ 
riety appeared in five prize-winning collections of the National 
Show held at Des Moines in 1924. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.4 FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse) 
Late. A deep rose-red showing no stamens. Consists of a central 
bomb of incurved petals surrounded by broad, prominent guard 
petals. A good all-purpose red. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.8 KARL ROSENFIELD (Rosenfield) 
A brilliant and striking variety, coming into bloom early midseason. 
Flowers very large, semi-rose type, and slightly fragrant. Desirable 
as a cut flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.0 LONGFELLOW (Brand) 
Everyone concedes Longfellow one of the most popular red Peonies 
because of its distinct, fadeless color and general dependability, 
both for cutting and garden decoration. It is as striking in the field 
as in the show room. It comes into bloom early midseason. The 
plant has excellent foliage and strong, stiff stems. The flower is a 
bright crimson and is always found among the winning classes in 
the show room. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.7 MARY BRAND (Brand) 
No red Peony ever won favor so quickly as Mary Brand. Always 
found among the winning reds in every show room. Comes into 
bloom with Frances Willard. Color so distinct, it is easily recog¬ 
nized by amateurs, no matter how often they see it in our fields. 
A rose type Peony showing stamens. A red in which there is little 
trace of purple. One of the most satisfactory reds as a cut flower 
as it will last a week if cut in the bud. A Brand Division $1.00 
SMALL If you order only one root, allow 25c for postage. 
-- __ COC But amount W 'N usually carry three fine divi- 
ORDERb sions within the 5th zone. All orders for Peonies 
amounting to $5.00 OR MORE will be sent PRE¬ 
PAID in the United States. 
9.2 PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Riviere) 
Very fine bright crimson. Beautiful form, splendid in plant growth; 
most fragrant of the reds. Late midseason. A fine show flower. 
No stamens. Most distinct in color of all the reds; not bright like 
Mary Brand or Longfellow, yet it shows an absence of the purple 
which is so objectionable to some. The extremely beautiful form 
and uniform soft color make a flower loved by all who see it. The 
true stock is very scarce; much spurious stock is on the market but 
ours is absolutely true. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.8 RICHARD CARVEL (Brand) 
An early crimson parallel to the pink Mons. Jules Elie. With its 
extra early blooming qualities, large size, and splendid habits, this 
variety is already a well-established favorite. A single plant on the 
lawn is attractive and delightful, beautiful and lasting. A valuable 
cut flower. The best of all early dark reds. Unlike most reds, the 
odor is pleasant and pronounced, a very rare quality in the reds. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
8.3 WINNIFRED DOMME (Brand) 
Scarlet-red. No matter how many good reds you have, you will 
still want Winnifred Domme. Unlike most reds, it has practically 
no purple; the nearest scarlet of all Peonies. The plant is dwarfish, 
but stems are strong and erect, each producing a single bloom. 
A most excellent red to use as a border plant. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA 
The Fern-Leaf Peony 
The earliest double to bloom. In bloom with us around May 
20th. Very brilliant crimson. Finely cut foliage, so much like that 
of the Cosmos. Every season we receive numerous requests for 
the name of this flower. Tenuifolia should always be carefully 
mulched the first winter after planting. Very scarce. Few growers 
are able to list it. A Brand Division $3.00
