FARIBAULT. MINN. 
(Doriat) 
A fine, tall, late light pink that will attract your attention either in 
the field or the show room. It has much the same color as Touran- 
gelle but the flower has more substance and the plant is more 
thrifty. A Brand Division $5.00 
9.2 PHILLIPE RIVOIRE (Riviere) 
A very bright rich crimson coming into bloom late midseason. 
The beautiful form of this flower and its uniform soft rich color 
make it a flower loved by all who see it. This is a fine show flower 
and is absolutely void of stamens. It has a pleasing fragrance and 
is the highest rated of any red Peony. A Brand Division $3.00 
7.7 
PH1LOMELE < C alot> 
A striking landscape variety with bright rose guard petals, enclos' 
ing a center of amber-yellow petals. As the flower develops, a 
crown of bright rose appears in the center. A midseason variety 
of medium size. A Brand Division $1.00 
8.8 PHOEBE CARY (Bran d) 
A very late pale old-rose-oink, darkening toward the center. The 
plant is very tall with strong stems and good light green foliage. 
The flower is rose type, slightly cup-shaped, with large, broad 
petals. A desirable late variety that always opens well. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
8.8 PHYLLIS KELWAY (Kelway) 
A very large, loosely built rose-pink, coming into bloom mid- 
season. The outer petals are very large and broad. The center 
petals are intermingled with bright golden stamens. This is a 
flower that is liked by all who see it. This fine pink and Susan 
White make a fine combination, as they are the same type but 
differ in color. A Brand Division $1.50 
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. A fine tall pink, remarkable both as a show 
flower and landscape variety. The flowers are large and of a rather 
uniform lavender-pink. The blooms are carried well above the 
foliage on strong stiff stems. The prominent guard petals stand 
out from the rest of the flower. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.6 PRIMEVERE (Lemoine) 
One of the best of the yellow varieties. The guard petals are a 
creamy white, enclosing a central ball of sulphur-yellow. The 
flower is medium large, bomb type, and very fragrant. It comes 
into bloom midseason. If the flower is cut in the bud and de¬ 
veloped inside, you get the true color. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.7 REINE HORTENSE (Caiot) 
A uniform hydrangea-pink, with guard and center petals marked 
crimson. This is a variety that gives universal satisfaction and is 
both a show and garden variety. The plant is tall with long stiff 
stems. The flowers are slightly fragrant. A midseason variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
REV. H. TRAGITT (A. M. Brand) 
White. Very large, of true rose type. Great blooms of the most 
perfect form resemble large balls of snow. The dwarf plants with 
strong stems hold the great white blooms erect. Very sturdy, even 
growth. Planted in rows, they present a remarkable sight when in 
bloom. So profuse, the blooms cover the whole plant with a solid 
mass of white. Uusually pure white, yet occasionally a faint trace of 
red shows on an inner petal. Globular in form; great broad, snow- 
white petals of great substance. This variety resembles Le Cygne 
but it is late while Le Cygne is early. Unusually fragrant. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
8.8 RICHARD CARVEL (Brand) 
An early crimson parallel to the pink Mons. Jules Elie. With its 
extra early blooming qualities, large size, and splendid habits, this 
variety is already a well-established favorite. A single plant on the 
lawn is attractive and delightful, beautiful and lasting. A valuable 
cut flower. The odor is pleasant and pronounced, a very rare 
quality in the reds. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.0 ROSA BONHEUR < Dessert) 
Very large, rose type. Delicate pink, with guard petals slightly 
flecked crimson. The plant is medium tall, erect, with strong stems. 
A late midseason variety that is always admired. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
ROBERT E. LEE (A. M. Brand) 
This pure snow-white was named for the great southern soldier 
and scholar. The flower is of medium size and fine form. A few 
roots have been sold and we believe this flower will appear in the 
winning classes at the coming Peony shows. 
A Brand Division $10.00 
RUTH ELIZABETH (A. M. Brand) 
An intensely rich red of true rose form with broad rose-like petals 
set up in perfect arrangement. Comes into bloom late in the Peony 
season. Always opens well. This Peony was named for Ruth 
Brand who books our orders absolutely correct and we think we 
have named a perfect red for her. A Brand Division $10.00 
This new Peony won a Silver Medal at the National Peony Show 
held in Rochester, Minnesota, June 22-23, 1940. 
9.0 SARAH BERNHARDT (Lemoine) 
Another fine pink that always prevails in the show room. From 
our chart you will note it appeared every year in the large class. 
The color is a true aDple-blossom-pink with each petal silver tipped. 
It is a late midseason variety with an agreeable fragrance. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 SARAH K. THURLOW (Thurlow) 
A very large delicate pink, changing to pearly white, flushed pink 
in the center. On first opening this variety resembles Tourangelle. 
The stems are long and slender but support the flower well. A very 
late variety with a delightful rose fragrance. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
8.7 SILVIA SAUNDERS (Saunders) 
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 
9.1 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. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
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 Getman 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 
9.3 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 
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 the 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.
