SINGLE AND JAPANESE PEONIES 
Many of these types come into bloom very early in the season. 
Prolong your Peony display by planting 
groups of these artistic varieties in the border. The bright single red, Laciniata, will make a bright spot in your 
garden along with the early Darwin tulips.

These varieties hold well in wind, rain, and sun and are splendid for house decoration as they have 
artistic value different from the double form. 
ALMA (Shaylor) 
A midseason light pink Japanese variety with bright yellow petal- 
oids, tipped gold. Center carpels greenish yellow tipped pink. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
ALTAR CANDLES (Pleas) 
A Japanese variety with flesh-pink guard petals surrounding a cen- 
ter of narrow petaloids tipped crimson. Floriferous and depend- 
able. A Brand Division $1.00 
FLANDERS FIELDS : (Brand) 
A single of the most brilliant red. Two rows of petals surround a 
large prominent center of golden stamens. The rich velvety petals 
have great substance and make a well formed flower. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
HARRIET OLNEY (Brand) 
This variety is one of the very earliest of our singles to give color 
to our fields. It opens a deep rose but gradually changes to a soft 
rose-pink. The plant is medium tall with straight stiff stems which 
hold the flower well erect. A very fine landscape variety. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
HELEN (Thurlow) 
This is a very fine early deep shell-pink. A double row of broad 
rounded petals surrounds a mass of golden stamens. The stems 
are tall, strong, and erect. If you are looking for a good pink 
single this variety will please you. A Brand Division $3.00 
LACINIATA 
Bright scarlet. If you wish a Peony that will give you bloom about 
two weeks earlier than Officinalis Rubra, you must have this va- 
riety. It comes into bloom a few days earlier than the finely cut- 
foliaged Peony, Tenuifolia, but is distinctly different from the 
Chinensis varieties. It is not so hard to propagate as Tenuifolia, 
and we feel that it is just as satisfactory. This is a variety that 
should be in several places in your border. Plant with red Tulips 
for a lovely combination. A Brand Division $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
LE JOUR (Shaylor) 
The largest single white Peony. A pure white with great heavy 
petals; center, an immense tuft of golden stamens. Strong, upright 
plant holds the great blooms well erect when the side buds have 
been taken off. This and Krinkled White are the two best white 
singles. Especially notable because of its pure color, fine substance 
and great size. A Brand Division $3.00 
MAN O’ WAR (A. M. Brand) 
An exceedingly bright red with a great deal of scarlet in its color. 
The guard petals enclose a. very large center of intensely rich yellow 
stamens. The stems are strong and erect. When the plant is well 
established, each stem carries a large flower. The plant is so covered 
with these large blooms that the foliage is hardly visible. This is a 
new variety. A Brand Division $3.00 
PRAIRIE AFIRE (A. M. Brand) 
A beautiful new Japanese, first offered by us in 1932. A vase of 
GORE Prairie Afire exhibited by us at 
? ; the Des Moines Show was the 
sensation of the show. Prairie 
Afire is a new and entirely dis- 
tinct break in color in Japanese 
Peonies. The guards are broad

MISCHIEF (Auten) 
A uniform soft pink that blooms late after most single flowers have 
i i t deal of attention when 
passed. This variety always attracts a grea enti 
exhibited at flower shows. A Brand Division $1.50 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN ; (A. M. Brand) 
Too new to be rated. The great red single. Of the many single 
reds that we have tested out, this is unquestionably the best. A tall 
variety with strong, stout stems. Flowers large for a single, held 
straight up. Two rows of brilliant red petals of most perfect form 
surround a very striking center of rich yellow stamens. Holds its 
color well in the sun. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
At the Rochester Show in the class 
calling for three blooms of one single 
variety, this Peony won Ist prize with 
six entries. In the class calling for a 
collection of ten or more single varie- 
ties, one bloom each, there were seven 
entries—we took Ist prize in this entry 
and President Lincoln was one of the 
varieties of our entry. It was also in 
the collection that won 2nd prize. And 
best of all, in the Court of Honor 
Class, this fine single was awarded 
“Best Single in the Show.” 
RED GODDESS (A. M. Brand) 
A medium sized single red with two 
rows of petals enclosing an intense 
yellow center. The form of the flower 
attracts the eye and you are held 
spellbound by the beauty and the 
richness of the coloring. An intense, 
deep rich, velvety crimson. We con- 
sider this a real addition to our list of 
single red Peonies.

RED WARRIOR (A. M. Brand) 
In going through one of our seed beds some 15 years ago we were 
attracted by a large deep well-formed single red which came into 
bloom exceedingly early. We selected it out and have had it under 
test ever since. It is our earliest good single red and is a large and 
very fine flower. You will like it. A Brand Division $3.00 
SCHWINDT (Goos & Koenemann) 
An early violet-rose single, shading lighter at the edge of petals. 
The plant is tall with heavy foliage and stiff stems that produce 
great clusters of flowers if not disbudded. A decorative garden 
variety. A Brand Division $1.00 

TENUIFOLIA SIMPLEX 
This is the single form of the Fern Leaf Peony. The flower is a 
brilliant single red consisting of one row of petals surrounding a 
bright center of yellow stamens. The foliage is very finely cut and 
the plant after blooming is attractive all through the summer. This 
variety, the single, is very hardy, and will stand up through the 
winter in trying locations where the double form might not. 
A Brand Division $1.50

TORO-NO-MAKI (Japan) 
One of the finest of all the white Japanese Peonies. It comes into 
bloom midseason. A double row of lilac-white ‘guard petals sur’ 
rounds a center of amber-yellow. A very. striking variety in the 
garden and as a cut flower. An excellent upright grower.
