LIGHT, MEDIUM AND DEEP PINKS 
A. G. PERRY (A. M. Brond) 
Early midseason. Plant of fine upright habit, medium height, with 
nice clean stems and foiiage. Petals of splendid substance. Color a 
rich old ivory, tinted delicate rosy pink, with zones of deeper pink 
radiating from the center of the flower to the edge of the petals. 
General color effect flesh-pink fading to white in the field. This is 
one of our newer Peonies and we feel that the most exacting will 
like to add it to their collections. A Brand Division #5.00 
BLANCHE KING (A. M. Brand) 
Deep pink. 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 exhibited 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 of twenty best dark pinks. One of the latest to bloom.

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. The best cut flower of its color in its 
season. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.1 CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shoylor) 
We think that this is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best Peonies. A very 
late variety with heavy stems and excellent foliage. It opens a de¬ 
cided pink but gradually fades to an almost pure white with a 
greenish tint at the base of the petals. A Brand Division #2.00 
9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand) 
Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christian¬ 
sen 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 tirst opens 
cup-shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Christiansen re¬ 
ceives the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like it better 
every year. A Brand Division #3.00

8.6 EUGENIE VERDIER (C alot) 
An ideal pink variety, coming into bloom early midseason. Semi- 
rose type. Opens a fresh delicate hydrangea-pink with primary 
petals lighter, and the center of flushed crimson. Fragrant.

9.2 FLORENCE MacBETH <Sass> 
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 #2.00 
8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink. Fragrance pleasing; plant 
medium height; floriferous; good stems and foliage. If Mr. Shaylor 
had never produced another Peony, this one alone would immor¬ 
talize his name among Peony lovers. Exceptionally fine for garden 
decoration and cutting and also a great exhibition flower.

8.8 GRANDIFLORA (Richardson) 
A soft shell-pink, shading to white with faint shadings of rose. 
When one thinks the Peony season ended, he can still go out and 
cut fine blooms of Grandiflora. For this reason Grandiflora should 
be in every garden. A Brand Division #1.00 
9.1 HANSINA BRAND (A. M. Brand) 
A flower of beautiful form and great size. Plant very tall and strong; 
holds the mammoth blooms erect. Color glistening flesh-pink with 
a salmon reflex shading toward the base of the petals. Very dis¬ 
tinct. As it fades, it resembles a perfectly formed specimen of So- 
lange, for which it is often mistaken in our show room. Yet Solange 
sometimes fails to develop its flowers at all or produces imperfect 
bloom, while Hansina Brand comes good every year. In 1933 at 
the Chicago Exposition, Hansina Brand was awarded the Farr 
Memorial Gold Medal for the best flower in the entire show. This 
flower was exhibited by Mr. C. W. Bunn of St. Paul. 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.
