SHATTUCK (A. M. Brond) 
A new shade of deep bright red with an almost total absence of 
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 (Sounders) 
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 (Lemofne) 
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 
WALTER LINDGREN < A . M. Brand) 
We regret that we cannot offer this fine pink for sale this season. 
Next year we expect to have a few roots for sale. 
W. E. BLANCHETTE (A. M. Brand) 
The firm of Brand has always been noted for its fine red Peonies. 
Longfellow, Mary Brand, Lora Dexheimer, Winnifred Domme, 
Richard Carvel, David Harum, and Charles McKellip are excellent 
varieties. Among the three reds that we are introducing this year 
is this superb variety, W. E. Blanchette, a rich deep crimson. It is 
of immense size, the largest red we know of. It is of a loose, semi- 
rose type with immense broad petals arranged in symmetrical form 
like tbe petals of a beautiful Rose. It is so large and of such beau¬ 
tiful form that it catches the eye instantly in the field. It develops 
nicely inside as a show flower and holds up well over a period of 
a number of days. We believe anyone who purchases this fine red 
will be more than pleased with it. A Brand Division $10.00 
Springfield, Mo., May 26, 1939. 
W. E. Blanchette (purchased Fall, 1937) from 6 to 7 inches in 
diameter, attracts everyone’s attention. Mrs. D. D. 
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 
8.4 STRASSBURG (Goos & 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 on 
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.

LACINIATA. A bright scarlet single 
that comes into flower about two 
weeks before Officinalis Rubra. 
The plant is thrifty, with lacin- 
iated foliage. The red flowers liter¬ 
ally cover the plant and when in 
bloom make one red ball. This 
makes a fine plant border. 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA. That large brilliant red Peony so often seen 
as a favorite in old gardens. In latitude of southern Minnesota it 
generally blooms by Decoration Day. It does not begin to fade 
until just before the main crop of other Peonies appears. Officinalis 
Rubra is always in bloom here June 1st or before. 
TENUIFOLIA FLORA PLENA. In bloom with us around May 20th. 
Very brilliant crimson. Finely cut foliage, so much like that of 
the Cosmos. Every season we receive numerous requests for the 
name of this flower. Tenuifolia should always be carefully mulched 
the first winter after planting. Plant as early in the spring as 
possible. Very scarce. Few growers are able to list it.
