Baroness Schroeder 
(A. M. Brand) 
A rich old ivory, tinted delicate rose-pink, with zones of deeper 
pink radiating from the center of the flower to the edge of the 
petals. It comes into bloom early midseason. Plant has fine upright 
growth habit, medium tall, strong stems and clean foliage. One of 
our newer Peonies that we know will please the most exacting. 
A Brand Division $3.50 
(In the December Peony Bulletin of 1936, G. W. Peyton of Rapidan, 
Virginia. writes regarding 10 best Peonies that season, “Alluringly 
attired in robes of softest pink, shading to creamy white, A. G. Perry 
was easily one of the finest flowers to be found.”) 
AGNES KENNEDY (A. M. Brand) 1944 
A large, deep, rather loosely built flower of nice form with large 
broad petals of good substance nicely arranged in roselike form.

AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert) 
A large midseason rose-red, with large round petals, each edged 
with a distinct narrow silver border. Plant of medium height and 
a prolific bloomer. A brilliant light rose-red that is very distinct 
in color and form and a most desirable sort. 
A Brand Division $2.00 
AVALANCHE (Crousse) 
A choice creamy white coming into bloom late in the season. The 
flower is large and compact, with a collar of creamy white petals 
surrounding a center of delicately tinted lilac-white petals occa- 
sionally edged carmine. A choice cut flower and also a fine show 
flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
BARONESS SCHROEDER (Kelway) 
This is considered one of the finest white Peonies grown. When 
the last symposium was taken, this variety received a rating of 9.0 
after 79 people had voted. When the buds first open, they are a 
delicate blush, but the flower soon fades to a milky white. This is 
a variety that should be found in every collection. It comes into 
bloom late, after most of the white Peonies are gone. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
BLANCHE KING (A. M. Brand) 
Peony lovers have been constantly searching for a good deep, late 
pink. We have now found this flower in Blanche King. This new 
variety is of wonderful size, symmetrical, and of true rose type. 
It is a glowing deep pink that holds its color in the field and also 
develops into a wonderful show flower. This variety was first ex- 
hibited at the National Peony Show held in London, Ont., Canada, 
in 1922. Here it received an award of merit and attracted a great 
deal of attention. At the late St. Paul Show it was awarded the 
prize for the best flower at the show and also won first in a class 
of twenty best dark pinks. One of the latest to bloom. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
CHESTINE GOWDY (Brand) 
A striking variegated cone-shaped pink. The broad outer petals 
are silvery pink. These enclose a zone of fine, irregularly shaped 
closely set petals, of deep rich cream, which in turn surround a 
prominent cone of broad pink petals, splashed and tipped with 
crimson. This is a late variety with delicate fragrance. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
CHERRY HILL (Thurlow) 
A very tall growing semi-double bright dark early red. Splendid 
as a landscape variety. The color is a deep garnet, with a sheen so 
rich that the variety is very noticeable among all other reds. For 
best effects this variety should not be disbudded. Awarded a silver 
medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A very late light pink that gradually fades to an almost pure white 
with a greenish tint at the base of the petals. The plant is strong 
with tall stems that carry the flowers erect. Although a late va- 
riety it opens well and we consider this in a class with Georgiana 
Shaylor. A Brand Division $2.00 
Cc. W. BUNN (A. M. Brand) 
A deep rich delicate flesh-colored flower of great size which comes 
on in late midseason. The blooms are true rose type, built up of 
great, broad, heavy, roselike petals forming a most perfectly shaped 
flower. Named for the late Mr. C. W. Bunn. Mr. Bunn was Vice 
President and head of the legal department of the Northern Pa- 
cific R. R. for many years. He resided in St. Paul with his summer 
home on the island in nearby White Bear Lake. It was here on 
the island that he grew in perfection the two flowers he loved best, 
Peonies and French Lilacs. He was a great showman and his 
Peonies for many years led the St. Paul and Minneapolis shows. 
But it was with the Lilac that Mr. Bunn was a master hand. His 
Lilacs were surpassed by none in the entire United States. 
A Brand Division $5.00
