DR. CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM (A. M. Brond) 
Here is a late midseason white in bloom 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 
DR. F. R. HUXLEY (A. M. Brand) 
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.

DR. JOHN L. CRENSHAW (A. M. Brand) 
Another fine red coming into flower with the late varieties. When 
Baroness Schroeder is just passing its prime this variety is at its 
best. This is a bright crimson-red unlike in color either Longfellow 
or Mary Brand. When the buds just begin to open, they might 
pass for a rich red Rose. The three or four outer rows of petals 
are very large, broad, and symmetrically arranged. This flower has 
been admired in our seedling fields for the past ten years. The 
plant is of medium height, stems strong and erect, foliage narrow 
and dark green. The blossom develops into fine size for a red. We 
have very few roots to offer this season. A Brand Division $5.00 
DR. L. W. POLLOCK (A. M. Brand) 
Here is a fine pink Peony, in color unlike any other we grow. It is 
a rich Tyrian rose and comes into bloom late in the season. This 
flower is as distinct in color among the late pinks as is Walter 
Faxon among the early pinks. The plant is of medium height, very 
thrifty, has light green foliage, and good strong stems. A fine 
garden flower, also a good show flower. A Brand Division $7.50 
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.

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. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN (A. M. Brand) 
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. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
ELLEN FOSTER (A. M. Brand) 
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. This choice dainty 
pink is really a top notch variety. A Brand Division $10.00 
8.7 ELISE RENAULT (Doriot) 
This silvery lilac flower comes into bloom midseason. The plant 
is medium height, with strong, upright stems. A new French intro¬ 
duction which no doubt will become very popular when better 
known. A Brand Division $2.00 
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

LACINIATA. A bright scarlet single 
that comes into flower about two 
weeks before Officinalis Rubra. 
The plant is thrifty, with Hern¬ 
iated foliage. The red flowers lit¬ 
erally 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. 
8.6 EUGENIE VERDIER < Ca 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, and also one of our best garden varieties. 
A Brand Division $ 1.00 
8.9 EUNICE SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
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 $1.00 
EVANGELINE NEWHALL (A . M . Brond) 
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 1956. We consider it a very fine Peony. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
7.7 FANNY CROSBY < Brand) 
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. Richard Carvel, Mary Brand, and Felix Crousse are three 
good standard cut flower reds that will give bloom over a period 
of three weeks. A Brand Division $1.00
