9.1 CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A very late light pink that gradually fades to an almost pure white 
with a greenish tint at the base of the petals. The plant is strong 
with tall stems that carry the flowers erect. Although a late va- 
riety it opens well and we consider this in a class with Georgiana 
Shaylor. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.4 DAVID HARUM (Brand) 
A soft Tyrian rose without stamens. The flowers are very large with 
prominent guard petals surrounding a great ball of closely packed 
petals of the same shade. An upright growing plant with very 
strong stems that hold their large blooms erect. This is an excel' 
lent garden variety and also a good show flower. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
9.0 DENISE (Lemoine) 
This very large white opens a faint blush-pink showing red mark' 
ings on its center petals. The flower has a delightful rose fragrance 
and is most dependable. Strong, upright stems are of medium 
height. The flower is of exquisite form and appearance. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.1 E. B. BROWNING (Brand) 
A very late white coming into bloom with Marie Lemoine. The 
buds of this variety are often as large as the entire blooms of other 
fair-sized Peonies. The bud opens slowly, and as the petals un¬ 
fold, a delicate pink coloring appears; the inner surface of the 
petals being washed with the most delicate pinkish canary. The 
perfume of the flowers is strong and sweet. The variety is so late 
that it is seldom seen in Peony shows. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 E. C. SHAW (Thurlow) 
A large cup-shaped shell-pink borne on strong stems. Outer petals 
are broad, rounded, with carmine tracings; inner petals graduate 
smaller and shorter to the center. Highly impressed as we are with 
all of Thurlow’s seedlings which we have grown and admired, this 
variety is now our favorite. First we thought President Wilson to 
be the finest of the lot; yet now after years of comparison, we have 
shifted our preference to E. C. Shaw. A Brand Division $1.50 
9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand) 
Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christiansen 
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. Petals are long, narrow, 
and heavily serrated on the edges. The flower first opens cup- 
shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Christiansen receives 
the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like it better every year. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
8.9 ENCHANTRESS ( Lemoine) 
A charming very late white. An excellent show flower. Prolong 
your blooming season by adding this excellent variety to your list. 
We understand that this is not a good flower for the South, as it 
is very late and does not open well, but the farther north it is 
grown, the better it becomes. As grown with us, it is rated far 
too low. It is surely entitled to a rating of 9.2. A splendid pure 
white. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.6 EUGENIE VERDIER (Color) 
An ideal pink variety, coming into bloom early midseason. Semi- 
rose type. Opens a fresh hydrangea-pink with primary petals 
lighter, and the center of flushed crimson. Fragrant. An ideal 
show flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.9 EUNICE SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A midseason light shell-pink with center petals a flesh-white with 
a circle of golden stamens around the center tuft. A semi-double, 
beautiful on matured plants. The plant is medium tall and up¬ 
right with strong stems. A Brand Division $2.00 
7.7 FANNY CROSBY (Brand) 
An early yellow Peony with pink guard petals that is growing in 
favor more each year as it becomes better known. The plant is 
strong, thrifty, and very floriferous. The side buds come into 
bloom with the main flower and if left on the plant they make a 
wonderful showing. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.4 FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse) 
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 late red, the same type as the early red, Richard 
Carvel. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.3 FESTIVA MAXIMA (Miellei) 
An early true rose-type white with broad guard petals surrounding 
a compact inner mass of rich white petals flecked crimson. This is 
a good early garden variety to use for cut flowers, but as a rule, 
comes too early for a show flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
FIREBALL (A M. Brand) 
This is one of our new seedling Peonies difficult to classify as to 
color. It is not a real red and neither is it a pink. Probably a 
brilliant Tyrian rose will best describe it. The flower is early, of 
medium size, semi-double, and for color extremely effective in the 
garden. It is not a show flower and is not for indoor use, but as 
an outdoor variety it is a knockout. A Brand Division $2.00 
9.2 FLORENCE MacBETH (S ass) 
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 $2.50 
9.1 FRANCES WILLARD (Brand) 
Frances Willard is a very fine white which we believe gives uni¬ 
versal satisfaction. It opens an exquisite blush-white, occasionally 
with a carmine touch, changing to pure white. Usually found in 
the winning classes in every show room. Midseason, comes into 
bloom with Mary Brand. (A gorgeous Peony named for a great 
woman.) A Brand Division $1.50 
9.3 FRANKIE CURTIS (Vores) 
An early midseason bomb type white with a light tracing of pink 
on the center petals. The guard petals are large and prominent 
and are surmounted by a great ball of narrow petals. In type this 
variety is like Mons. Jules Elie and might be described as a white 
Jules Elie. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.1 GALATHEE ( Lemoine) 
An extremely late light pink with a deeper pink center. The flower 
is true rose type of perfect form. The plant is tall and of good 
growth habit. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink with pleasing fragrance. 
The petals are very broad with guard and center petals slightly 
splashed crimson. The plant is medium tall and of sturdy habit. 
One of the very best of Mr. Shaylor’s introductions. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 HANSINA BRAND (Brand) 
A glistening flesh-pink with a salmon reflex shading toward the 
base of the petals. As the flowers fade they resemble a perfectly 
formed specimen of Solange. Comes into bloom late in the season 
and comes good every year while Solange often fails to produce 
perfect flowers. Hansina Brand was awarded the Farr Memorial 
Gold Medal for the best flower exhibited at the National Show 
held in connection with the Chicago Exposition in 193 3. In 1934 
at the National Show held in St. Paul, Hansina Brand was again 
awarded the Farr Memorial Medal as the best flower in the show. 
A gorgeous flower. A Brand Division $5.00
