color it is a deep rose-pink, shading lighter towards the ends of the

serves its rating when seen at its best. A Brand Division $2.50 
LIBERTY BELL (Dr. j H . Neeley) 
An unusually fine deep pink coming into bloom very late in the 
season. It has all the qualities of a fine flower and fills a distinct 
need in its color class. We have not been able to list this variety 
often in our catalog but we have grown it in our fields and watched 
it long enough to know we are offering a very fine distinct variety 
in Liberty Bell. A Brand Division $10.00 
LILLIAN GUMM <Gumm)

base of the petals. The flower is large, globular in form, rose type, 
with broad petals, and a cupped center. A fragrant late midseason 
variety. A reliable bloomer. A Brand Division $1.00 
LONGFELLOW (Brand) 
Everyone concedes Longfellow one of the most popular red Peonies 
because of its distinct, fadeless color and general dependability, 
both for cutting and garden decoration. It is as striking in the field 
as in the show room. It comes into bloom early midseason. The 
plant has excellent foliage and strong, stiff stems. The flower is a 
bright crimson and is always found among the winning classes in 
the show room. A Brand Division $1.00 
LORA DEXHEIMER (Brand) 
An intense flaming crimson coming into flower early midseason. 
We feel that this variety belongs in a class with Longfellow. The 
flowers are semi-rose in form and the petals nicely arranged so as 
to almost conceal the stamens. The plant is medium tall and an 
excellent bloomer. A Brand Division $1.00 
LORCH (Goos & Kocnemonn) 
Outer petals very large, pure snow-white, incurving over a pale 
lemon and cream center, with pale crimson tracings on edge of 
center petals. A plant of good habit; large, nicely shaped flowers, 
held well up. Blooms not only of splendid color but also of beauti¬ 
ful form. One of the very best of the G. 6? K. varieties; indeed a 
beautiful Peony. A Brand Division $1.50

A late midseason pink. The flower is a cross between a Japanese 
type and a double, and is a very large semi-double. The coloring

pink. Many yellow stamens show throughout the flower. Millet 
considered it the best Peony he ever produced.

Primevere and you have an attractive color combination. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
8.3 MARIE JACQUIN (Verdler) 
A midseason semi-double flower. Purest white guards; then a collar 
of yellow stamens surrounding a row of shorter pure white petals,

Waterlily effect. The stems are erect, a clean, light green, as is 
also the foliage. A Brand Division $1.00

grant variety and a most excellent show flower.

rose-pink. The plant is very tall and comes into bloom late mid¬ 
season. The flower is cupped rose type and often measures from 
9 to 12 inches in diameter. The stems are strong and hold the 
heavy flowers well above the foliage. A constant prize winner. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
At the National Show in Rochester, Minn., 1940, this variety was 
entered in a class calling for three blooms of one variety in medium 
or dark pink. There were 20 entries in this class. Martha Bulloch 
icon 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes and also emerged as the Grand Champion 
flower of the entire show. 
8.7 MARY BRAND (Brand) 
No red Peony ever won favor so quickly as Mary Brand. Always 
found among the winning reds in every show room. Comes into 
bloom with Frances Willard. Color so distinct it is easily recognized 
by amateurs, no matter how often they find it in our fields. A red 
in which there is little trace of purple. One of the most satisfactory 
reds as a cut flower as it will last a week if cut in the bud. Holds 
its color perfectly and for a long time in the sun. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
8.0 MARY B. VORIES (Vories)

than Mons. Martin Cahuzac and comes into flower a week later.
