PINK PEONIES—Continued 
9.0 MILTON HILL (Richardson) 
A very beautiful flower of a delicate shade of salmon-pink, resem¬ 
bling Walter Faxon. Seen in the show room in first class form, this 
variety is impossible to beat in its color. It received a rating of 9.0 
with sixty-three voting. This is absolutely one of the finest of all 
Peonies. A Brand Division $1.50 
9.4 MME. JULES DESSERT (Dessert) 
One of the finest of all Peonies—flowers very large, well formed, 
with long broad petals. Blooms held rigidly erect on good straight 
stems of medium height. Color a creamy white, lighted with buff 
and salmon shades. A few golden stamens appear to beautify an 
already beautiful flower. Always among the main prize winners at 
the great shows. A Brand Division $1.50 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. Large and peculiarly beautiful in formation. 
The broad guards and half of the petals turn outward, gracefully 
downward, then up. Next is a distinct band of golden stamens as 
in Phyllis Kelway. Lighting up the entire flower, these stamens 
enclose a rosebud, cup-shaped center of large incurving petals. 
Color a Walter Faxon pink. Magnificent in the show room. One 
of the finest of all Peonies for use in decorative work such as the 
making up of large vases, etc. A Brand Division $2.00 
9.0 MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A. M. Brand) 
A tall, late pink with exceedingly strong heavy stems and large 
deep green foliage. Color violet-rose with a distinct lavender cast. 
Petals long, broad, pointed and of great substance. A very late 
fragrant flower of true rose type. First prize as best flower in entire 
show at St. Paul, 1928. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.1 MRS. ROMAINE B. WARE (A. M. Brand) 
This variety was selected from the seed bed because of its striking 
beauty of form. True rosebud effect in the center, the petals radiat¬ 
ing in peculiar fashion to give a pleasing effect to the entire bloom. 
Returning from the National Show at Boston, I stopped with my 
good friend Harry F. Little. Mrs. Romaine B. Ware was in full 
bloom. Of this wonderful flower Mr. Little said, “I think this one 
of the daintiest of all Peonies in its perfect beauty.” Exquisitely 
delicate; medium size; rose type. Medium height plant; profuse 
bloomer; midseason. Fragrant. A Brand Division $2.00 
9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY (A. M. Brand) 
A plant of splendid growth and clean appearance holds the beau¬ 
tiful great flower erect and well above the foliage. Immense flowers 
of perfect rose form with great broad, nicely rounded petals of 
wonderful substance. Color, beautiful pink with tints of flesh and 
salmon. While all of these new Peonies have a pleasing odor, this 
one is the sweetest; the fragrance of a Tea Rose. Awarded Silver 
Medal at St. Paul Show in 1923. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.9 NANCY DOLMAN (Vories) 
A tall, late, pale rose-pink, of conical form and great size. A new 
flower that we have tried out over a sufficient time to be safe in 
pronouncing it a real good flower. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.8 PHYLLIS KELWAY (Kelwcy) 
Very large, loosely built, of the most exquisite beauty. Color deep 
lavender-flesh with long rays of lighter lavender playing the length 
of the petals through the deeper colors. A row of broad petals 
surrounds a loosely built cup-shaped center of long narrow petals 
intermingled with conspicuous yellow stamens. Long, stiff stems 
hold blossoms erect—a gorgeous beauty in the rays of sunlight— 
one of the most brilliant and striking Peonies in the list. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 PHOEBE CARY (Brand) 
Although this variety was introduced thirty years ago, we have not 
been able to multiply our stock rapidly enough to list it every year. 
The color is a rose-pink with center slightly deeper in shade. The 
plant is tall, in season with the late white, Marie Lemoine. A pleas¬ 
ing fragrance. A Brand Division $1.50 
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. Pink. Large, beautiful flowers; a rather uni¬ 
form lavender-pink. Irregular petals in unique irregular formation. 
The prominent guards stand out from the rest of the flower; very 
attractive from a distance. The entire flower is climaxed by a strik¬ 
ing rosebud effect. Blooms carried well above the foliage on strong 
stems. A late Peony, remarkable both as a show flower and land¬ 
scape variety. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.3 PRESIDENT WILSON (Thurlow) 
A very large, late, bright rose-pink, fading to a lighter pink. The 
flower has a rich, spicy fragrance. The plant is of medium height, 
strong stems, good foliage. Awarded Certificate of Honorable 
Mention at London, Ontario, Show. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.7 REINE HORTENSE (Colot) 
A show flower usually found in the winning classes. Sometimes 
sold under the name of President Taft. Tall growing, it produces 
lots of large perfectly formed flowers on long, stiff stems. Color a 
uniform hydrangea-pink, minutely splashed on a white background; 
also prominently flecked with crimson. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.0 SARAH BERNHARDT (Lemoine) 
Another variety that prevails in the show room. So well known, 
it seems unnecessary to say that it should be in every garden. Semi- 
rose type. Late midseason. Color, apple-blossom-pink with each 
petal silver tipped. Agreeable fragrance. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT (Dessert) 
Salmon-pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the 
base, turning to a salmon-pink. Resembles Walter Faxon in color 
but stands up much better in the field. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.4 STRASSBURG (Goos & Koenemonn) 
Very large bloom; exquisite form. Flowers very large, loosely built, 
semi-rose. Petals very large, broad, delicate lilac-rose. This German 
firm has sent out many beautiful Peonies, all distinct, but in their 
entire list this is one of the best. Stock of this variety is very scarce. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
9.8 THERESE (Dessert) 
Very large; somewhat loosely built; long, narrow pointed petals. 
Plant of medium height with strong stems. Usually produces large 
typical flowers, even on 1-year plants, if they are allowed to bloom. 
Early midseason pink, fading toward the center, and illumined by 
a golden yellow glow in the depths. A supreme flower for exhibi¬ 
tion purposes. A Brand Division $1.25 
9.4 TOURANGELLE ( Dessert) 
Pink. Rose type; late midseason; a vigorous grower, bearing large 
high-built flowers with cupped centers. Color delicate pearly white, 
suffused with shades of delicate salmon and La France rose. Has a 
weak stem but the coloring is unusual and superb. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
VICTORY CHATEAU THIERRY (A. M. Brand) 
A very large flower with immense, broad, evenly arranged, rounded 
petals of great substance; petals remindful of those on Lady Alex¬ 
andra Duff. A clear bright pink, gradually fading to a lighter pink. 
This variety is the earliest of all of these new Peonies; and, like 
Richard Carvel and Judge Berry, is seldom seen in the show room. 
The plant is of medium height with very strong stems that hold 
the large, cup-shaped blossoms well erect. We consider this variety 
one of the very best in this list of new ones. When Victory begins 
to open, you will make many trips to your garden each day to 
watch this gorgeous flower as it unfolds its clear, pink, broad petals. 
This is one out of two Peonies that received a rating of 100, Alice 
Harding being the other. Some few low votes in the last sym¬ 
posium pulled the rating down to 8.9, but we really believe this 
Peony will finally rate as high or higher than Therese. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
WALTER FAXON (Richardson) 
A remarkable flower, at its best in the show room. Cut in the bud, 
held in a dark cool room for a day or two, then brought into the 
light, it develops as a flower of wonderful coloring and exquisite 
beauty. Color the most vivid of all pinks, the only “real pink” as 
someone has said. To anyone acquainted with its color, a mere 
glance over the show room will disclose every vase of this beautiful 
flower. Flowers medium size, attractive in form. In the fields it 
does not hold up as well as Souv. de Louis Bigot, to which it is 
similar in color. Unique for show purposes or home decoration.

SUBSTITUTIONS 
Sometimes an order reaches us late in the season after our 
stock of some varieties is exhausted. If you send in an order 
and you are not particular about receiving just the varieties in 
your list, give us permission to substitute a variety of the same 
color of equal or better value. As a rule our stock is sufficient 
to fill our orders just as they are given.
