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 apple-blossom-pink with each petal silver tipped. 
It is a late midseason variety with an agreeable fragrance. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
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 
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 $2.50 
SOLANGE (Lemoine) 
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 
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 
STAR OF BEAUTY (Neeley) 
Here is a beautiful flower. A very robust plant with nice clean 
stems and foliage. Flowers of good size and fine form in a clear, 
clean pale pink fading lighter. Stamens show in the collar. We 
think this a distinct and very fine Peony. A Brand Division $2.50 
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 
SUSAN WHITE (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 Brand Division $2.00 
T. C. CARPENTER (A. M. Brand) 
A new flower of ours which we are listing this year for the first 
time. A medium sized flower composed of large, nicely rounded 
petals neatly arranged in perfect circles, and possessing great sub- 
stance. The color is similar to that of the great Solange, a pure 
ivory with a yellowish tinge. A superbly balanced flower. From 
our long study of this flower, we believe it will prove one of the 
coming great Peonies. A Brand Division $5.00 
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 
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 
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 $2.50 
WALTER FAXON (Richardson) 
The most vivid ofall 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 $1.00 
WARD WELCH 
This is a deep high-built, cone-shaped flower of a delicate flesh- 
pink gradually fading to white. The prominent central petals are 
splashed with a rich carmine. The guard petals are broad.. A 
distinct variety. A Brand Division $2.50 
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 $5.00 
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. 
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.

New Iutreductions 
FOR 1942 
(Brand) 
We need new shades and colors in Peonies and this new introduc- 
tion of ours is distinctly different from all others. In color it is a 
peculiar shade of a deep rich red-purple. The flower is rose type 
with large, beautifully arranged petals. We named this Peony 
for a pioneer Minnesota woman who went through the terrible 
days of the Indian Massacre at New Ulm, Minnesota. If you are 
looking for something “entirely different, you will find it in this 
new variety. A Brand Division $10.00 
(Brand) 
This new Peony has been under test in our gardens for many years 
and we believe it is worthy of going into the best Peony company. 
This is a very large flower opening saucer-shaped with long, broad 
petals of a light, bright flesh-pink. A strong and thrifty grower. 
A Brand Division $10.00 
(Brand) 
This is a remarkably pretty new Peony that resembles that old 
favorite, Therese. The flowers are large, broad-petaled and deep 
and are held well erect. The flower holds its form and color much 
better in the field than does Therese. The color is a fine me 
dium pink with an intense brilliancy emanating from the deep 
center. We believe there is a bright future for this flower.
