8.8 ADDIELANCHEA (Brand) 
A late midseason creamy white with base of center petals yellow. 
Petals occasionally show traces of crimson. A fine white in a class 
with Enchantress. This variety is scarce and for this reason is 
seldom seen in the show room. A Brand Division #1.50 
8.5 ADOLPHE ROUSSEAU (Dessert tr Mechin) 
One of the very good early dark reds. The flower is large and 
unusually rich in color and for this reason makes a fine show flower. 
The plant is very tall and the strong stems hold the flowers erect, 
making a fine landscape variety. A Brand Division #1.00

Albert, Felix, and Marie Crousse are three noteworthy Peonies. 
Albert Crousse is a beautiful soft shelhpink with narrow compact

ALEX D. VORIES (Vories) 
A pleasing shade of American-Beauty-red shading lighter at the 
edge of the petals. The flowers are large, loose, semi-double. The 
plant is strong with upright stems. A showy variety for landscape 
purposes. Midseason. A Brand Division #2.00 
9.5 ALICE HARDING (Lemoine) 
A midseason creamy white with soft pink guard petals. Lemoine 
considers this his best introduction, but we feel that Le Cygne 
makes a finer all around show flower. We doubt if there is any 
stock of this variety that is absolutely free from root disease but 
our stock is as good as can be purchased. A Brand Division #3.50 
8.8 ALSACE-LORRAINE ( Lemoine)

low at the base of petals. A dainty flower with long, narrow lacin- 
iated petals. A Brand Division #1.00

9.0 BARONESS SCHROEDER (Kelwoy) 
This is considered one of the finest white Peonies grown. When 
the last symposium was taken, this variety received a rating of 9.0 
after 79 people had voted. When the buds first open, they are a 
delicate blush, but the flower soon fades to a milky white. This is 
a variety that should be found in every collection. It comes into 
bloom late, after most of the white Peonies are gone.

dium size, perfect rose form. Plant medium tall with strong stems 
that hold its blooms erect. A good flower in both garden and show 
room. A Brand Division #2.00 
BLANCHE KING (A. M. Brand* 
Peony lovers have been constantly searching for a good deep, late 
pink. We have now found this flower in Blanche King. This new 
variety is of wonderful size, symmetrical, and of true rose type. 
It is a glowing deep pink that holds its color in the field and also 
develops into a wonderful show flower. This variety was first ex¬ 
hibited at the National Peony Show held in London, Ont., Canada, 
in 1922. Here it received an award of merit and attracted a great 
deal of attention. At the late St. Paul Show it was awarded the 
prize for the best flower at the show and also won first in a class 
oi twenty best dark pinks. One of the latest to bloom.

Peony. This variety is noted for its beautiful form, prolific bloom, 
broad symmetrical roselike petals, and excellent color. This variety 
appeared in four of the winning classes at the National Show held

A striking variegated cone-shaped pink. The broad outer petals 
are silvery pink. These enclose a zone of fine, irregularly shaped 
closely set petals, of deep rich cream, which in turn surround a 
prominent cone of broad pink petals, splashed and tipped with 
crimson. This is a late variety with delicate fragrance.

8.7 CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse) 
A late flower of immense globular form, with long incurved petals 
of a uniform shade of clear violet-rose, tipped silvery white. It has 
that same wonderful attractiveness possessed by Mons. Jules Elie. 
They are much the same in color but Claire Dubois is late where 
Mons. Jules Elie is early. A Brand Division #1.00 
COMMANDER (A. M. Brand) 
A true self solferino-red. An extra large, high built compact flower. 
A cone-shaped rose type variety. Although late, it blooms con¬ 
sistently, which cannot be said of most late varieties. After every 
other red is gone you can still go out and bring in excellent flow¬ 
ers of this variety. A real acquisition to our reds.
