DAVID HARUM (Brand) 
A soft Tyrian rose without stamens. The flowers are very large with 
prominent guard petals surrounding a great ball of closely packed 
petals of the same shade. An upright growing plant with very 
strong stems that hold their large blooms erect. This is an excel- 
lent garden variety and also a good show flower. Another Peony 
of beautiful form. A Brand Division $1.00 
DOROTHY J (Jones) 
A beautiful new Peony that was displayed at the National Show at 
Rochester, Minn., in 1940, where it was awarded the Society’s 
Silver Medal. It is a large, deeply built globular flower with quite 
prominent guard petals which give it wonderful form. It is not so 
closely built that it appears heavy. A beautiful soft even shade 
of delicate lavender-pink. We believe this is one of the coming 
flowers. A Brand Division $15.00

soe : SHAW (A. M. Brand) 
Another fine red com- 
ing into flower with 
the late varieties. When 
Baroness Schroeder is 
just passing its prime 
this variety is at its best. 
This is a bright crimson- 
red unlike in color eith- 
er Longfellow or Mary 
Brand. When the buds 
just begin to open, they 
might pass for a rich red 
Rose. The three or four 
outer rows of petals are 
very large, broad, and 
symmetrically arranged. 
This flower has been 
admired in our seedling 
fields for the past ten 
years. The plant is of 
medium height, stems 
strong and erect, foliage 
narrow and dark green. 
The blossom develops 
into fine size for a red. 
Blooms at same time as 
_ Philippe Rivoire.

DR. L. W. POLLOCK (A. M. Brand) 
Here is a fine pink Peony, in color unlike any other we grow. It is 
a rich Tyrian rose and comes into bloom late in the season. This 
flower is as distinct in color among the late pinks as is Walter 
Faxon among the early pinks. The plant is of medium height, very 
thrifty, has light green foliage, and good strong stems. A fine 
garden flower, also a good show flower. Stock still scarce.

DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS (Calot) 
Creamy white. An early almost pure white with shadings of green 
at the base of the petals. A good flower. Plant medium tall; stems 
strong and erect; excellent foliage. Dependable and _ profuse 
bloomer. A Brand Division $1.00 
E. C. SHAW (Thurlow) 
A large, cup-shaped, shell-pink borne on strong stems. Outer petals 
are broad, rounded, with carmine tracings; inner petals graduate 
smaller and shorter to the center. Highly impressed as we are with 
all of Thurlow’s seedlings which we have grown and admired, this 
variety is now our favorite. First we thought President Wilson to 
be the finest of the lot; yet now after years of comparison, we have 
shifted our preference to E. C. Shaw. A Brand Division $1.50 
EDULIS SUPERBA (Lemon) 
This is the first good early deep pink. It sometimes opens for 
Decoration Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne 
profusely on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a 
beautiful deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut flowers in its 
color and season. The flower deserves a much higher rating and 
should be planted because of its earliness and general good quali- 
ties, A Brand Division $1.00

9.0 ELLA CHRISTIANSEN 





(A. M. Brand) 
Although not so deep a pink as Blanche King, Ella Christiansen 
is so distinct from the delicate pinks in coloring as to be a real 
acquisition. The flower is exceedingly large, both on the plant in 
the field and when handled as a cut flower. Petals are long, narrow, 
and heavily serrated on the edges. The flower first opens cup- 
shaped, then flat. Irresistibly appealing—Ella Christiansen receives 
the unbounded praise of every visitor. We like it better every year. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
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.

“In Peony time, our yard is truly a show place. Hansina Brand is 
my favorite, I think, as it never fails to be a thing of beauty, and it 
seems to be singled out by everyone that visits our yard and they all 
ask its name. It has some beauties to compete with such as Mrs. Frank 
Beach, Hazel Kinney, Blanche King, and Myrtle Gentry, but I still 
think it’s tops.” MRS. R. J. A.
