8.5 ADOLPHE ROUSSEAU 
One of the very good early dark reds 
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 
A. G. PERRY (A. M. Brand) 
A rich old ivory, tinted delicate rose'pink, with zones of deeper 
pink radiating from the center of the flower to the edge of the 
petals. It comes into bloom early midseason. Plant has fine upright 
growth habit, medium tall, strong stems and clean foliage. One of 
our newer Peonies that we know will please the most exacting. 
A Brand Division #5.00 
(In the December Peony Bulletin of 1936, G. IP. Peyton of Rap- 
idan, Virginia, writes regarding 10 best Peonies that season, “Allur¬ 
ingly attired in robes of softest pink, shading to creamy white, 
A. G. Perry was easily one of the finest flowers to be found.”) 
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 
8.6 A. P. SAUNDERS (Thurlow) 
A large loosely built delicate pink of true rose type. The outer 
petals are extremely large with a ball of shorter petals unfolding in 
the center. Gradually fades to almost a pure white. A late variety. 
A Brand Division #1.50 
8.6 ARGENTINE (Lemoine) 
A late midseason globular white, with symmetrically arranged petals 
of splendid substance. Fragrance pronounced. A very fine white. 
A Brand Division #2.50 
8.7 AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert) 
A large midseason rose'red, with large round petals, each edged 
with a distinct narrow silver border. Plant of medium height and 
a prolific bloomer. A brilliant light rose'red that is very distinct 
in color and form and a most desirable sort. 
A Brand Division #2.00 
8.7 AVALANCHE (Crousse) 
A choice creamy white coming into bloom late in the season. The 
flower is large and compact, with a collar of creamy white petals 
surrounding a center of delicately tinted lilac'white petals occa' 
sionally edged carmine. A choice cut flower and also a fine show 
flower. A Brand Division #1.00 
8.8 BALL O' COTTON (Franklin) 
A pure white coming into bloom late midseason. Perfect rose type, 
pleasingly fragrant. Plant is of medium height, foliage good, stems 
strong. An excellent white usually found in the winning classes in 
all large shows. A Brand Division #1.50 
9.0 BARONESS SCHROEDER (Kelway) 
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. 
A Brand Division #1.50 
BETTY BLOSSOM (Thurlow) 
A globular flower with white guard petals, faintly tinted yellow and 
sometimes flecked crimson on the back. The center white petals 
are intermingled with narrow petals heavily edged with gold. The 
general color effect is soft yellow. Late midseason. 
A Brand Division #3.00 
BISHOP BURKE (Voriw) 
A pleasing shade of rosy crimson with an effective silver sheen 
throughout. Unlike any other red we grow. The flower is of me' 
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 
of twenty best dark pinks. One of the latest to bloom. 
A Brand Division #5.00 
CHARLOT (Doriat) 
A silvery lilac'pink with carmine base and silvery border. The 
flower is rather flat and positively glows with its reddish tints in 
the center. The plant is tall with strong stems that bend gracefully. 
A fine landscape, midseason variety. A Brand Division #1.50 
8.6 CHERRY HILL (Thurlow) 
A very tall growing semi'double bright dark early red. Splendid 
as a landscape variety. The color is a deep garnet, with a sheen so 
rich that the variety is very noticeable among all other reds. For 
best effects this variety should not be disbudded. Awarded a silver 
medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
A Brand Division #1.00 
8.4 CHESTINE GOWDY (Brand) 
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. 
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. 
A Brand Division #3.00 
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 
C. W. BUNN (A. M. Brond) 
A deep rich rosy pink flower coming into bloom late midseason. 
The flowers are true rose type, built of great broad heavy roselike 
petals forming a flower of perfect form. A Brand Division #10.00 
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 
DR. CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM <A. M. Brand) 
Here is a late midseason white in season with Marie Lemoine. The 
flower is large, loosely built, with large guard petals enclosing a 
center of smaller lacy petals. This flower is of the Kelway’s Glori' 
ous type but is a later variety. An absolutely first class late white 
that will open well. A Brand Division #10.00
