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 introduced in 
1936. We consider it very fine. A Brand Division $2.50 
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. Richard Carvel, Mary Brand, and Felix Crousse are three 
good standard cut flower reds that will give bloom over a period 
of three weeks. A Brand Division $1.00 
FESTiIVA 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 
GARDEN PRINCESS (Dr. J. H. Neeley) 
A rich silvery soft light pink fading to white. Outer petals large 
and uniformly rounded, making a flower of pleasing form. Golden 
stamens intermingied with center petals add charm to the flower. 
Vigorous, tall growing, midseason. A Brand Division $2.00 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
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 Mr. 
Shaylor’s very best introductions. A Brand Division $1.00 
HAZEL KINNEY. See color page 2. 
JEAN COOPERMAN (A. M. Brand) 
An early midseason even toned soft crimson-red coming into bloom 
a few days after Richard Carvel. The flower is of good size and 
pleasant fragrance. It is a semi-rose in form, made up mostly of large 
petals nicely arranged. An annual and profuse bloomer. A fine 
show flower and, we believe, a coming red for the commercial cut 
flower trade. A Brand Division $3.50 
JUNE DAY (Franklin) 
A pleasing shade of light pink with lavender shadings on edges 
of center petals. The flower is large, rose type, pleasing color, and 
delightfully fragrant. A striking show flower and a fine variety in 
the field. A Brand Division $1.50 
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.

Peony. A Brand Division $2.00

ers are rather flat, somewhat similar to Jubilee in make-up. The

LA FRANCE (Lemoine) 
A uniform apple-blossom-pink with crimson splashes on the guards.

late. The years when this variety comes good, it is one of the most 
outstanding of all Peonies. An exquisite show flower. |

LAKE O* SILVER (Franklin) 
This is a light pink silver-tipped variety, with golden anthers promi- 
nently showing throughout the flower. The central petals are a 
darker pink. The bloom is very large, often 7 to 8 inches in diam- 
eter on established plants. It is an extremely free bloomer. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
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 $10.00 
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 
SURPRISE BOXES 
An Offer You Cannot Afford to Pass 
Last spring we offered what we called “Surprise Boxes” of 
Peonies. This offer went over well and we had many compli- 
mentary letters from our customers after they received their pack- 
ages. Not a complaint did we receive and we beileve all of our 
customers were well pleased with our choice of roots. We have 
decided to make the same offer again this season so that we may 
dispose of many of the fine varieties that we have in storage in 
small quantity. 
You may wish to know something about what we will place 
in each box. There will be at least 5 roots in every one, with a 
total value of at least $10.00. 
All the roots will be labeled correctly and of sufficient size to 
give bloom this spring if planted early. 
If you wish to choose your colors, you may do so, but if we 
make a choice, we would no doubt put in each box a creamy 
white, one good red with light and deep pink for the others. 
Take advantage of our offer and get a fine box of peonies, a 
regular $10.00 value, for $5.25 postpaid. 
COMPLIMENT ON OUR SURPRISE BOXES 
Charlotte, N. C., 
: May 27, 1941. 
“I received the Surprise Package of Peony roots in fine shape and truly 
they are SURPRISE PACKAGES. I am just thrilled to-have such a lovely 
collection and I never would have gotten it any other way. I’m sure you 
couldn’t have sent them to anyone that will enjoy them more or be more 
appreciative of their beauty. I feel very fortunate to have sent my order 
just when I did. We have an ideal climate and soil for Peonies and I can 
hardly wait to see these bloom. I thank you very much.” 
MRS. D. J. C.
