EVANGELINE NEWHALL (A. M. Brand) 
A very late large light pink. The petals are very long and the 
edges are both scalloped and ruffled. The flower has variations of 
deeper pink running throughout the petals. The variety is semi- 
rose in type. This is a comparatively new variety that we intro- 
duced in 1936... We consider it a very fine Peony. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
FANNY CROSBY (Brand) 
An early yellow Peony with pink guard petals. The plant is strong, 
thrifty, and very floriferous. The side buds come into bloom with 
the main flower and if left on the plant they make a wonderful 
showing. A Brand Division $1.50 
FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse) 
A deep rose-red showing no stamens. Consists of a central bomb 
of incurved petals surrounded by broad, prominent guard petals. 
A good all-purpose late red, the same type as the early red, 
Richard Carvel. A Brand Division $1.00 
FESTIVA MAXIMA (Miellez) 
An early true rose-type white with broad guard petals surrounding 
a compact inner mass of rich white petals flecked crimson. This is 
a good early garden variety to use for cut flowers, but as a rule, 
comes too early for a show flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
FIREBALL (A. M. Brand) 
This is one of our new seedling Peonies difficult to classify as to 
‘color. It is not a real red and neither is it a pink. Probably a 
brilliant Tyrian rose will best describe it. The flower is early, of 
medium size, semi-double, and for color extremely effective in the 
garden. It is not a show flower and is not for indoor use, but as 
an outdoor variety it is a knockout. A Brand Division $2.00 
FLORENCE MacBETH 
(Sass 
) 
' An immense rose type flower of a soft La-France-pink. The” petals 
are broad, of much ‘substance, and have a crinkled effect that is 
very distinct and beautiful. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower 
with strong stems. A’véry fine pink. A Brand Division $2.50 
FRANCES WILLARD He ; (Brand) 
Frances Willard is a very fine white which we believe gives uni- 
versal satisfaction. It opens ‘an..exquisite blush-white, occasionally 
with a carmine touch, changing to pure white. Usually found in 
the winning classes in every:>show room, Midseason, comes into 
bloom with Mary Brand. (A gorgeous Peony named for a great 
woman.) A Brand Division $1.50

8.9 GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaysor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink with pleasing fragrance. 
The petals are very broad with guard and center petals slightly 
splashed crimson. The plant is medium tall and of sturdy habit. 
One of the very"best of Mr. Shaylor’s introductions. 
i : A Brand Division $1.00 
GOLDEN BRACELET . (A, M. Brand) 
A very high built creamy white with a distinct collar of yellow 
petals encircling the.center. General color effect yellow and a real 
addition to the small list in this color class. This variety was dis- 
played in our show room two. years ago for the first time and was 
greatly admired. One-of our, visitors thought this name appropriate 
as there is a distinct band of creamy yellow petals through the 
flower that makes this variety unusually attractive. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
8.6 GOLDEN DAWN (Gumm) 
Anemone type; midseason. Yellowish center with broad guard 
petals of ivory-white. Similar in color to Primevere and Laura 
Dessert.. For best color effects, all yellow Peonies should be cut in 
the bud and developed inside. A Brand Division $2.00 
8.8 GRANDIFLORA (Richardson) 
~ A very large flower of true rose type. Rather flat bloom, very large, 
with a graceful and beautiful arrangement of petals. Soft shell-pink, 
shading to white with shadings of rose. Very late. When one 
thinks: the Peony season ended, he can still cutfine blooms of 
Grandiflora. A Brand Division $1.00 
9.1 HANSINA BRAND (Brand) 
A. ghistening flesh-pink with a salmon reflex shading toward the 
‘haseof the petals. As the flowers fade they resemble a perfectly 
ormed specimen of Solange. Comes into bloom.late in the season 
and comes good every year while Solange often fails to produce 
perfect flowers. Hansina Brand was awarded the Farr Memorial 
Gold Medal for the best flower exhibited at the National Show 
held in connection with the Chicago Exposition in, 1933. In 1934 
at the National Show held in St. Paul, Hansina Brand was again 
awarded the Farr Memorial Medal as the best flower in,the show. 
A gorgeous flower. Dae ee A Brand Division $3.50

HANSINA BRAND AGAIN WINS GRAND PRIZE 
“T came, I saw, I was ‘conquered—thrilled. A meré bystander this 
time I stood on the fringe of the ‘crowd that gathered about the 
twenty-one judges who were picking the 1934 Grand Prize Peony, 
and. with almost as much inner emotion as when in 1932 I saw my 
own SOLANGE shifted to the center of the stage, I watched the 
elimination process. I saw them pick. up those two wonderful blooms 
of La Lorraine, and oh,:what.a: flower! I joimed them in my keen 
admiration as.sheer merit and appealing purity forced them to rec- 
ognize the marvelous beauty and glorious formation of the new and 
coming MRS. J. V. EDLUND. I admired with them many ‘other 
startling blooms produced this year under such baffling weather con- 
ditions. But the queen could not be denied her glory for with all 
that- grace and charm that last year gave her the crown at the 
Chicago World’s Fair, there she stood, a perfect flower, beautiful as 
a dream, strong and sturdy, perfectly formed and fresh as the morn- 
‘ing, and not a word of protest was heard when the ballots were 
counted and before the official announcement, the whispered word 
swept over the crowd—HANSINA BRAND. im pie 
“Mrs. A. S. Gowen, president of the Minnesota Garden Flower 
Society, grower of the bloom, modestly received the shower of:con- 
gratulations that she so worthily deserved,,but no lessening of the 
praise due her was in the minds of the more- thoughtful as they 
turned from congratulating the grower to give equal admiration and 
thanks to the retiring and modest man who stgod on the outside of 
the crowd, the originator of HANSINA er penes Mr. A. M. Brand, 
veteran breeder and grower of Faribault, Minnesota. — ie 
“No'‘wonder, then, that this magnificent flower has’ been twice 
crowned queén of the Naticnal Peony Show and that many of us 
have resolved that at any price this great flower shall bloom in our 
own gardens. 
“T congratulate you, Mrs. A. §. Gowen. I congratulate you, Mr. 
A. M. Brand. You are both worthy of the great honor.”
