Le Cygne 
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert) 
For a good yellow this is one of the best. The flower is rouna, or 
rose type. Guard petals are a creamy white, enclosing a domelike 
center of pure canary-yellow. The plant is an upright grower, and 
makes a good landscape variety. Like all yellows, the flower must 
be developed inside to preserve its color. A Brand Division $2.00 
LAVERNE CHRISTMAN (A. M. Brand) 
This flower resembles Therese in color, form, and general make-up, 
but it comes into bloom much later in the season. 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 vigorous. It received an Award of 
Merit of the American Peony Society, St. Paul, 1923. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
LE CYGNE (Lemoine) 
A fine creamy white of true rose type, perfect in form. Early mid- 
season. Strong, medium height stems. Flowers large and delight- 
fully fragrant. Le Cygne is the highest rated Peony and fully de- 
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 $5.00 
LILLIAN GUMM (Gumm) 
A uniform apple-blossom-pink with more brilliant shadings at the 
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

LOVELINESS (Hollis) 
A late uniform hydrangea-pink of wonderful beauty. The plant is 
tall with stems strong enough to hold the immense blooms erect. 
An excellent show flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
LUELLA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A midseason creamy white with large, broad guard petals of pure 
white enclosing a dome center of petals tinted yellow. General 
effect a creamy yellow. A Brand Division $1.00 
MARGARET LOUGH (Gumm) 
This is one of Mr. Gumm’s introductions that we were instantly 
taken with when we first saw it some few years ago. We planted 
it in our fields and have now seen it in bloom some four or five 
seasons and we like it better the more we see it. It’s a flesh-pink 
of pleasing form which in itself makes it distinctive. A “must 
have.” A Brand Division $5.00 
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 
MARIE JACQUIN (Verdier) 
A midseason semi-double flower. Purest white guards; then a collar 
of yellow stamens surrounding a row of shorter pure white petals, 
then a tuft of yellow stamens, all giving the flower a pronounced 
Waterlily effect. The stems are erect, a clean, light green, as is 
also the foliage. A Brand Division $1.00 
MARIE LEMOINE (Calot) 
A late sulphur-white, occasionally showing a carmine.tip. The 
plant is rather dwarf with exceptionally strong stems. A very fra- 
grant variety and a most excellent show flower. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
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. 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 
won Ist, 2nd and 3rd prizes and also emerged as the Grand Champion 
flower of the entire show. 
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 
MARY B. VORIES (Vories) 
A large rose-type pure white, with creamy depths, with just an 
occasional tracing of carmine on the petals. The plant comes into 
bloom late in the season and the strong stems hold the large flowers 
erect. Faint, sweet fragrance. A Brand Division $2.00
