8.8 KARL ROSENFIELD (Rosenfield) 
A brilliant and striking variety, coming into bloom early midseason. 
Flowers very large, semi-rose type, and slightly fragrant. Desirable 
as a cut flower, a garden variety, and a show flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.8 KELWAY'S GLORIOUS (Kelway) 
A fine midseason lacy white that fully deserves its high rating. The 
flowers are large, rose type, with long laciniated petals. Plant is 
medium tall, upright, with strong stems that hold the lacy flowers 
erect. A really fine white. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.6 LA LORRAINE (Lemoine) 
A large flower, nicely rounded, with great broad petals beautifully 
arranged. Comes into bloom midseason. Color a soft even shade 
of creamy pink. In our opinion, this flower is not fully appreciated. 
We feel that it is one of the choicest of all Peonies and should rate 
well above 9.0. From our first observation of the flower, this has 
been our constant impression. When shown together with mag¬ 
nificent blooms of Le Cygne, Kelway’s Glorious, Therese and 
Mme. Jules Dessert, its blooms have shown up equally well and 
we think it is just as good a flower as any of them. First prize 
winner at Rochester show this season. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 LAURA DESSERT ( Dessert) 
The flower is round, fragrant, and of rose type. Guard petals 
creamy white, enclosing a domelike center of pure canary-yellow. 
Like Fanny Crosby, the plant is an upright grower, holding blos¬ 
soms erect for good landscape value. Like all yellows, it must be 
developed inside away from the sun to preserve its color. Early 
midseason. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.9 LAVERNE CHRISTMAN (A. M. Brand) 
This flower resembles Therese very much in color, form, and 
general make-up. It is a large flower of rose type, loosely formed, 
with long, broad petals. In color it is a deep rose-pink, shading 
lighter towards the ends of the petals. The plant is tall and vig¬ 
orous. It received an Award of Merit of the American Peony 
Society, St. Paul, 1923. A Brand Division $3.00 
9.0 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 $1.50 
8.4 LORA DEXHEIMER (Brand) 
To us, the splendid habit and brilliant color of this plant have 
exceptional merit. We first selected it from the seed bed in 1904. 
Each succeeding year it has grown in our esteem. Color intense 
flaming crimson. Early midsason. A variety that ranks with Long¬ 
fellow. From all parts of the country, we have reports of the 
wonderful qualities of Lora Dexheimer. A Brand Division, $1.00 
8.8 LOVELINESS (Hollis) 
A large, flat, fragrant hydrangea-pink coming into flower late in 
the season. The plant is tall with heavy foliage, and stems strong 
enough to hold the flowers erect. As a rule we are not able to fill 
late orders for this truly lovely Peony. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.9 MARIE CROUSSE (Crousse) 
A delicate shell-pink bordering on salmon. In color it is not like 
any other pink we grow. Such a clear pure self color, it attracts the 
eye, even when blooming among a hundred different pinks. A 
fragrant, midseason to late variety. Arrange this flower with 
Primevere and you have an attractive color combination. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 MARTHA BULLOCH ( Brand) 
One of the greatest of all pink Peonies. The color is a bright old- 
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. If you refer to our chart you 
will note that this variety appeared every year in the large class 
at the national shows. A constant prize winner. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
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 Erances 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. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.4 MME. JULES DESSERT (Dessert) 
One of the finest of all light pink Peonies. The flowers are very 
large, well formed, and of a delicate flesh-pink gradually fading to 
white. This is a variety that does well in the garden and is always 
among the prize winners at the great shows. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
8.8 MONS. MARTIN CAHUZAC (Dessert) 
If you wish the darkest red Peony grown, order this one. Flowers 
medium to large, semi-rose type, with stamens. Color a deep 
maroon-red. It often comes semi-double until plants are well estab¬ 
lished. The plant is medium tall w-ith strong sturdy upright stems. 
It comes into bloom early midseason and is a striking landscape 
variety. A Brand Division $1.50 
9.6 MRS. A. M. BRAND (A. M. Brand) 
A pure glistening white coming into flower very late in the season. 
The flower is large, of perfect rose form, with large uniform petals 
of remarkable substance. This flower received the Gold Medal of 
the American Peony Society at St. Paul in 1923. The plant is 
medium tall with vigorous upright stems and beautiful dark green 
foliage. A Brand Division $3.50 
MRS. A. S. GOWEN (A. M. Brand) 
A very large midseason, semi-rose, red. The perfect arrangement 
of the large petals gives this flower exquisite form. We named this 
Peony for Mrs. Gowen of Excelsior, Minnesota, for we believe no 
one is a better judge of a good Peony than she. She selected this 
variety some years ago from our seed bed as a really fine Peony 
and consquently it bears her name. A Brand Division $10.00 
MRS. BRYCE FONTAINE ( A . M. Brand) 
A midseason, rich dark crimson. It is darker than Longfellow but 
not the color of Mons. Martin Gahuzac. It is a flower of wonderful 
substance and holds up well after being cut and for this reason it 
makes a fine garden and also show flower. Although this variety 
is listed as new and few roots have been sold we have watched it 
year after year for over 16 years and we are willing to place it 
among the very best reds. A Brand Division $5.00 
MRS. DEANE FUNK (A. M. Brand) 
A Walter-Faxon-pink coming into bloom early midseason. The 
flower resembles Phyllis Kelway and is one of the finest of all 
Peonies for use in decorative work in making up large baskets or 
vases of flowers. A distinct band of golden stamens lights up the 
entire flower and these stamens enclose a rosebud, cup-shaped 
center of large incurving petals. Magnificent in the show room. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
9.0 MRS. FRANK BEACH (A . M. Brand) 
A deep ivory-white coming into bloom late in the season. The 
flower is large, flat, perfect rose type with long, narrow, laciniated 
petals of the same lacy effect as in Jubilee. Mrs. Frank Beach is a 
glorified Jubilee but is not handicapped by a weak stem. This 
variety develops a flower true to type on a yearling plant. The 
blooms are profuse and sweetly fragrant. One of the best of all 
white Peonies. A Brand Division $3.00 
MRS. J. H. NEELEY (Dr. J. H. Neeley) 
A late flowering blush-white shading to white with a greenish 
reflex at the base of petals. Center petals enlivened with yellowish 
pink or salmon tones that are attractively different. A new variety 
that seems destined to earn a place among the truly great Peonies. 
A Brand Division $10.00 
9.0 MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH (A . M . Brand) 
A tall, very late deep pink with exceedingly strong heavy stems and 
large deep green foliage. The petals are long, broad, pointed, and 
of great substance. A fragrant flower of true rose type. When you 
think the Peony season is over, Mrs. John M. Kleitsch comes along 
to top off the season. Too late to appear in many shows, but won 
first prize as the best flower in the entire show at St. Paul in 1928. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
9.1 MRS. ROMAINE B. WARE (A . M . Brand) 
A fragrant light pink coming into bloom midseason. The flower 
is medium large, rose type, with a delightful rose fragrance. The 
plant is medium tall with strong slender stems that hold the flowers 
well erect. Returning from the National Show at Boston, I stopped 
with my good friend, Harry F. Little. Mrs. Romaine B. Ware was 
in full bloom. Of this wonderful flower, Mr. Little said, “I think 
this one of the daintiest of all Peonies.” A Brand Division $2.00 
9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY ( A . M. Brand) 
A beautiful late light pink that gradually fades to almost a pure 
white. The flower is perfect rose form with great broad, nicely 
rounded petals of wonderful substance. Tints of flesh and salmon 
show throughout the petals. The plant is of splendid growth and 
clean appearance. The stems are strong and hold the great flowers 
well above the foliage. This flower has the fragrance of a Tea Rose. 
Our Silver Medal variety. A Brand Division $3.00
