Krinkled White 
EDITH WEST (Brand) 
White. This variety resembles Albiflora. It comes into bloom after 
Albiflora has gone. The flower is not quite as large, but the petals 
have more substance and the plant does not have the sprawling 
habit of Albiflora. A fine landscape variety.

FLANDERS FIELDS (A. M. Brand) 
Red. A few years ago in one of our seedling beds of many varie¬ 
ties, we noticed a most conspicuous red. Even from 20 rods’ dis¬ 
tance, this brilliant color stood out from all the others. Every year, 
in every way, it has proven a splendid flower. A single of the most 
brilliant red. Two rows of petals surround a large prominent center 
of golden stamens. Petals of great substance stand out flat; rich 
and velvety in appearance. A Brand Division $4.00 
8.7 HARRIET OLNEY (Brand) 
This variety is one of the very earliest of our singles to give color 
to our fields. It opens a deep rose but gradually changes to a soft 
rose-pink. The plant is medium tall with straight stiff stems which 
hold the flower well erect. A very fine landscape variety.

KRINKLED WHITE (A. M. Brand) 
White. First noticeable in the bud which resembles the bud of a 
pale pink Tulip just ready to burst. The bud is comparatively small 
and beautiful in effect. As it opens, it expands into a large flower 
with great broad, pure white petals, like crinkled crepe paper. Stems 
tall, straight, slender but strong; clean light green. Award of Merit, 
Des Moines National Show. A Brand Division $3.00 
LACINIATA 
Bright scarlet. If you wish a Peony that will give you bloom about 
two weeks earlier than Officinalis Rubra, you must have this variety. 
It comes with bloom a few days earlier than the finely cut-foliaged 
Peony, Tenuifolia, but is distinctly different from the Chinensis 
varieties. It is not so hard to propagate as Tenuifolia, and we feel 
that it is just as satisfactory. It is of no value as a cut flower but 
it brings color to the flower garden very early in the season.

MAN O' WAR (A. M. Brand) 
This is our finest new single. When the variety becomes well 
known, we believe it will stand at the top of all red singles. It 
is an exceedingly bright red with a great deal of scarlet in its 
color. The guard petals enclose a very large center of intensely 
rich yellow stamens. The stems are strong and erect. When the 
plant is well established, each stem carries a large flower. The 
plant is so covered with these large blooms that the foliage is 
hardy visible. A Brand Division $10.00 
SINGLE PEONIES 
It is not long since there was no demand for either single or Japanese 
Peonies. The double varieties only were in demand. However, in recent 
years, flower lovers have come to see that the more delicate single and 
Japanese varieties have an artistic value of their own. If varieties have 
been selected for substance in the bloom, as are those we offer, these 
types are wonderfully decorative both in the garden and as cut flowers. 
Another important reason for adding some to your collection is that they 
come earlier than the double sorts and so prolong the period of bloom. 
MELLEN KNIGHT (Brand) 
Red. Tall, straight growing; strong enough to hold the flowers well 
up. Petals long, narrow, and evenly rounded on the edges, giving 
a beautiful effect both at close examination and from a distance. 
Color a bright rich crimson. Extra good. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.9 PRIDE OF LANGPORT (Kelway) 
Pink. An immense flower of brilliant, soft peach-pink. Wonder¬ 
fully beautiful; retains its color in the sun almost a week after it 
opens; the finest light single. A Brand Division $3.00 
TENUIFOLIA SIMPLEX 
This is the single form of the Fern Leaf Peony. The flower is a 
brilliant single red consisting of one row of petals surrounding a 
bright center of yellow stamens. The foliage is very finely cut and 
the plant after blooming is attractive all through the summer. This 
variety, the single, is very hardy, and will stand up through the 
winter in trying locations where the double form might not.

WATTEAU (Goos & Koenemann) 
Not yet rated. White. Large, snow-white guard petals. Center 
flesh with a mass of golden stamens. Resembles Albiflora, the 
Bride, but comes into bloom much later. A Brand Division $2.00
