PINK PEONIES >—All Shades, Light, Medium and Deep 
A. G. PERRY (A. M. Brand) 
New. Early midseason. Plant of fine upright habit, medium height, 
with nice clean stems and foliage. Petals of splendid substance and 
rich in appearance. Color a rich old ivory, tinted delicate rosy pink, 
with zones of deeper pink radiating from the center of the flower 
to the edge of the petals. General color effect flesh-pink fading to 
white in the field. Splendid both as a show and a landscape flower. 
This is one of our newest Peonies. Very few people have it. We 
think it one of our very best. It is a Peony that the most exacting 
will like to add to their collections. A Brand Division #5.00 
7.6 EDULIS SUPERBA (Lemon) 
This is the first good early deep pink. It sometimes opens for 
Decoration Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne 
profusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a 
beautiful deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut flowers in its 
color and season. This flower deserves a much higher rating and 
should be planted because of its earliness and general good qualities.

9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand) 
Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christian' 
sen is so distinct from the delicate pinks in coloring as to be a real 
acquisition. The flower is exceedingly large, both on the plant in 
the field and when handled as a cut flower. As a bloomer, it is 
probably the most profuse of this exclusive list. Petals are long, 
narrow, and heavily serrated on the edges. The flower first opens 
cup-shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Christiansen re- 
ceives the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like it better 
every year. A Brand Division #3.00 
8-9 EUNICE SHAYLOR (Sass) 
A midseason semi-double variety; beautiful on matured plants. 
Outer petals are a light pink. Center petals are a flesh white with 
a circle of golden stamens around the center tuft. A good show 
flower. A Brand Division #2.00 
9.2 FLORENCE MocBETH (Shaylor) 
An immense rose type flower of a soft La France pink. The petals 
are broad, of much substance, and have a crinkled effect that is 
very distinct and beautiful. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower 
with strong stems. A very fine pink. A Brand Division #3.00 
8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink. Fragrance pleasing; plant 
medium height; floriferous; good stems and foliage. If Mr. Shaylor 
had never produced another Peony, this one alone would immor¬ 
talize his name among Peony lovers. Exceptionally fine for garden 
decoration and cutting and also a great exhibition flower.

8.8 GRANDIFLORA (Richardson) 
A soft shell-pink, shading to white with faint shadings of rose. 
When one thinks the Peony season ended, he can still go out and 
cut fine blooms of Grandiflora. For this reason Grandiflora should 
be in every garden. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.0 HAZEL KINNEY (A. M. Brand) 
I can still remember this beautiful flower as it appeared on the plant 
the first time. The form was so superb and the color so pure; it 
impressed us at once as a flower of great promise, which it since 
has proved. A great show flower when displayed alongside the 
very best. True rose type. Color a delicate clear hydrangea-pink. 
Medium height plant; clean, light green foliage; late midseason; a 
prolific bloomer. A Brand Division #2.00 
9.2 JEANNOT (Dessert) 
A large, high built, round flower of rose type with a cupped center. 
A delicate lavender-pink, with salmon-pink shadings at the base of 
the petals. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.6 JUDGE BERRY (Brand) 
This is a fine delicate pink coming into bloom with that very early 
deep pink, Edulis Superba. Its attractive, large flat flowers are of 
excellent color and texture. Coming at the beginning of the Peony 
season, when most varieties are of small or medium size, this im¬ 
mense flower has a peculiar distinction, and will be wanted by every 
Peony buyer who wishes a really good early light pink.

9.0 JUNE DAY (Franklin) 
We think June Day is one of the very best of Mr. Franklin’s intro¬ 
ductions. A flower of striking beauty, light flesh with lavender 
shadings on the edge of the central petals. Pleasing fragrance, up¬ 
right grower with dark green foliage. At the 1935 Boston National 
Show, June Day was one of the outstanding flowers of the entire 
show. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.8 KELWAY'S QUEEN (Kelwoy) 
This is a distinct Peony, both in flower and plant. At one time 
the stocks of this variety were badly mixed, but when the true 
variety is once seen, there can be no mistake. It is a large, compact, 
rose type flower of uniform mauve, with center flecked crimson. 
A tall strong grower, and a very profuse bloomer. Late midseason.

9.1 LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF (Kelwoy) 
An immense, loosely built flower with great broad rounded petals. 
A pale blush-pink, fading to white, with yellow stamens. When 
not disbudded, the central flower is loosely double, of a rather flat¬ 
tened, circular form; central petals touched with carmine. A beau¬ 
tifully formed flower; sweet scented. Very floriferous. Very showy. 
Opening after the central flower, the side flowers come semi-double, 
saucer-shaped, showing stamens. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.2 LA FEE (Lemoine) 
A scarce variety, seldom seen in any garden. Plants tall with but 
few stalks to the plant. Long, narrow, sharply pointed foliage. 
Flowers very large, loosely built, with long narrow petals sharply 
notched at the edges. Guards mauve-rose. Collar creamy white. 
A beautiful mottling of different shades of pink. Strikingly beau¬ 
tiful, both in the field and show room. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.1 LAKE O' SILVER (Franklin) 
This is a light pink silver-tipped variety, with golden anthers prom¬ 
inently showing throughout the flower. The central petals are a 
darker pink. The bloom is very large, often 7 to 8 inches in diam¬ 
eter on established plants. It is an extremely free bloomer. 
A Brand Division #1.50 
9.0 LA FRANCE (Lemoine) 
Very large, true rose type. A uniform apple-blossom-pink with 
crimson splashes on the guards. This flower during those years 
when it is at its best is one of the most outstanding of all Peonies. 
A Brand Division #2.00 
8.8 LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm) 
Late midseason. A new flower of outstanding qualities, good enough 
to be repeatedly singled out from hundreds of varieties in the field. 
Very large, globular in form, rose type, with great broad petals, 
and a cupped center. Color uniform apple-blossom-pink with more 
brilliant shadings at the base of the petals. A Brand Division #2.00 
8.8 LOVELINESS (Hollis) 
Very late. Produces very large, flat Hydrangea-pink flowers; blooms 
of wonderful beauty. It is Hollis’ best Peony. Plants tall with 
heavy foliage and stems strong enough to hold the immense blooms 
erect. The flowers, a uniform shade of pink, make wonderful show 
flowers. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.7 LUETTA PFEIFFER (Brand) 
Very large, semi-double, pinkish white. Foliage, large and clean; 
stems long and stout. Immense blooms are produced in great pro¬ 
fusion. Petals are long, broad, of great substance; a pure Hydran¬ 
gea-pink interspersed with golden stamens and some splashes of 
red. Blooms early. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.7 MADELON (Dessert) 
A beautiful silvery pink, among the latest of Dessert’s originations. 
Petals imbricated and slightly touched with carmine. A splendid 
late variety. A new Peony from France carrying that peculiar 
charm always to be found in the Dessert selections. 
A Brand Division #1.50 
9.1 MARTHA BULLOCH (Brand) 
Very tall, very large, late. One of the greatest of all Peonies. We 
must judge Peonies not alone by individual taste but by perform¬ 
ance over a long period. The great Peonies receive the awards at 
the large shows. The Northwest Peony Show is staged alternate 
years in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Outside of the National Show, 
it is the largest Peony Show in America, taken year after year. 
Here Peonies of all varieties are shown at their best by expert 
showmen. The class that brings out the best flowers is the class 
that calls for ten vases, one each of ten varieties, three blooms to 
a vase. Into this class go the ten best vases of each exhibitor. 
Martha Bulloch is almost invariably in the exhibit that wins first. 
Bright old-rose-pink; center of lighter rose, and pink. Roselike 
fragrance. Tall, straight stems. Immense blooms. The most beau¬ 
tiful Peony of its size. A Brand Division #2.00
