DR. F. R. HUXLEY <a. M . Brond) 
Another late midseason pure waxy white, full rose type. The flower 
is high built, with large incurved petals. The plant has good 
growth habit with straight stiff stems. This flower was named for 
one of our leading physicians in Faribault who visits our Peony 
fields during the blooming season each morning before he begins 
his day’s duties. He selected this flower and has watched it over a 
period of years. We feel sure it will measure up to the best.

DIRECTEUR URSAT < Doriot , 
A very early soft light pink that opens in loose bomb or crown 
type, with a pleasing touch of light yellow petals in the collar. 
If seen at the right stage the flower is pleasing but like many varie- 
ties becomes ragged with age. A Brand Division #5.00 
8.9 EUNICE SHAYLOR (Shoylor) 
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 
EVANGELINE NEWHALL (A . M. Brand* 
A very late large light pink. The petals are very long and the 
edges are both scalloped and ruffled. The flower has variations of 
deeper pink running throughout the petals. The variety is semi¬ 
rose in type. This is a comparatively new variety that we intro¬ 
duced in 1936. We consider it a very fine Peony.

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.

9.1 E. C. SHAW (Thurlawl 
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 
7.7 FANNY CROSBY (Brond) 
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 (Mialle*) 
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 
7.6 EDULIS SUPERBA (Lemon) 
This is the first good early deep pink. It sometimes opens for 
Decoration. Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne 
profusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a 
beautiful deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut flowers in its 
color and season. The flower deserves a much higher rating and 
should be planted because of its earliness and general good qualities.

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 
9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brandi 
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.

ELLEN FOSTER (A. M. Brand) 
Flesh-pink. A medium tall growing variety with good plant habits 
and clean foliage. Rose type blooms of good size, large broad deep 
petals of almost uniform light flesh-pink flushed delicate lavender. 
A new variety of great promise. Selected by many of our visitors 
last season as the best flower in our show room.

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 <c°iot> 
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 
9.2 FLORENCE MocBETH (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 #2.50 
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 
8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shoylor) 
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 
GOLDEN BRACELET (A. M. Brond) 
A very high built creamy white with a distinct collar of yellow 
petals encircling the center. General color effect yellow and a real 
addition to the small list in this color class. This variety was dis¬ 
played in our show room two years ago for the first time and was 
greatly admired. One of our visitors thought this name appropriate 
as there is a distinct band of creamy yellow petals through the 
flower that makes this variety unusually attractive. See page 7 for 
free root. A Brand Division #5.00
