pink and the base of the petals have a greenish cast. The flower 
has a sweet Rose fragrance. The stiff heavy stems hold the large 
flowers erect. A Brand Division $1.50

One of the best of the yellow varieties. The guard petals are a 
creamy white, enclosing a central ball of sulphur-yellow. The 
flower is medium large, bomb type, and very fragrant. It comes 
into bloom midseason. If the flower is cut in the bud and de- 
veloped inside, you get the true color. A Brand Division $1.50

both a show and garden variety. The plant is tall with long stiff

8.8 RICHARD CARVEL ( Brand) 
An early crimson parallel to the pink Mons. Jules Elie. With its 
extra early blooming qualities, large size, and splendid habits, this 
variety is already a welbestablished favorite. A single plant on the 
lawn is attractive and delightful, beautiful and lasting. A valuable 
cut flower. The odor is pleasant and pronounced, a very rare 
quality in the reds. A Brand Division $1.00

SHATTUCK (A. M. Brand)

purple. This variety was exhibited at the National Show held in 
Des Moines and received much favorable comment. We now have 
enough stock of this variety to offer it this fall. A late midseason 
variety. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.7 SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saunders) 
A beautiful little flower remindful of a semi-double wild prairie 
Rose. Blooms open out flat, slightly cupped. Around the edge is 
a double row of wide, rounded, rose-colored petals which in turn 
surround a central cluster of short stamens with delicate light green 
carpels, tipped bright pink. Delicately beautiful—a Peony master¬ 
piece. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.7 SOLANGE ( Lemoine) 
As to color this variety is hard to classify. The flower is made up 
of a suffusion of buff and pale salmon-pink shades. The flower is 
a perfect rose type. The coloring is beautiful and distinct but the 
flowers often fail to open. We recommend it for a large planting 
but not for a small home garden. The years when it comes good 
it fully deserves its rating. 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 real treasure.

SUSAN WHITE (New) (A. M. Brand) 
A pure early midseason white of very fine form and large size. 
Plant tall and luxuriant with dark green foliage. Individual blooms 
very large. Very long and narrow petals form a great compact 
dome-shaped center with large guards drooping gracefully away 
from it. Pure white, tinted heavily cream, with green showing at 
base of petals. Golden stamens add to the beauty of this fine white. 
A fine companion for Phyllis Kelway. A Brand Division $2.00 
Victory Chateau Thierry 
8.4 STRASSBURG (Goos Cr Koenemann) 
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 $1.00 
9.8 THERESE Dessert) 
A very large, somewhat loosely built pink with a golden yellow 
glow in the center of the flower. The flowers are typical, even ori 
one-year plants. The plant is of medium height with strong stems 
and comes into bloom early midseason. A supreme flower for ex¬ 
hibition purposes. A free bloomer with delicate fragrance. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.4 TOURANGELLE (Dessert) 
A delicate pearly white, suffused with shades of delicate salmon 
and La France rose. The flower is rose type and comes into bloom 
late in the season. The plant has a weak stem but the coloring of 
the flower is so unusual that it is admired by all who see it. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
8.2 VICTOIRE DE LA MARNE (Dessert) 
One of the largest purplish red Peonies. The blooms are loose 
rose type, globular in form, and made up of broad petals of vel¬ 
vety red with a silvery reflex. A good garden flower and a fine 
show flower. The plant is of medium height and comes into bloom 
midseason. A Brand Division $1.50 
VICTORY CHATEAU THIERRY (A. M. Brand) 
A clear bright pink, gradually fading to a lighter pink. The flower 
is large with immense, broad, evenly arranged, rounded petals of 
great substance. The plant is of medium height with very strong 
stems that hold the large, cup-shaped blossoms well erect. We con¬ 
sider this one of our very best originations but the plant comes into 
bloom so early that you seldom see the flower in the show room. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.3 WALTER FAXON (Richardson) 
The most vivid of all pinks, the only “real pink” as someone has 
said. A remarkable flower, at its best in the show room. The flow¬ 
ers are of medium size, attractive in form, and mildly fragrant. 
In the fields it does not hold up as well as Souvenir de Louis Bigot 
but in the show room it tops them all. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.3 WINNIFRED DOMME (Brand) 
The nearest scarlet-red. No matter how many good reds you have, 
you will still want Winnifred Domme. Unlike most reds, it has 
practically no purple; the nearest scarlet of all Peonies. The plant 
is dwarfish, but the stems are strong and erect, each producing a 
single bloom. A most excellent red to use as a border plant.
