FANNY CROSBY (Brand) 
An early yellow Peony with pink guard petals that 1s growing in 
favor more each year as it becomes better known. 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 very fine pink. A Brand Division $2.50 
FRANCES WILLARD (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 vigorous Peony named for a great 
woman. ) A Brand Division $1.50 
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 intermingled 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 the very best of Mr. Shaylor’s introductions. 
A Brand Division $1.00 
GEORGE W. PEYTON (Col. Nichols) 
A fine new double in a rich creamy white. A flower of much the 
beautiful form of Tourangelle but with a better stem than that 
variety. A splendid new white. A Brand Division $5.00 _ 
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 
9.1 HANS P. SASS (Hans Sass) 
A very tall variety producing large flowers of a delicate shade of 
light pink, deepening in color toward the center. As the flower 
ages, the broad petals open out cup shaped like a Tulip. A fine 
Peony. A Brand Division $3.50 
9.1 HANSINA BRAND (Brand) 
A glistening flesh-pink with a salmon reflex shading toward the 
base of the petals. As the flowers fade they resemble a perfectly 
formed 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. A Brand Division $5.00

Bulletin of 1934, written by Wm. J. Lockhart of Des Moines, Iowa. 
HANSINA BRAND AGAIN WINS 
GRAND PRIZE 
“IT came, I saw, I was conquered—thrilled. A mere 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 joined 
them in my keen admiration as sheer merit and appealing purity 
forced them to recognize the marvelous beauty and glorious for- 
mation of the new and coming MRS. J. V. EDLUND. I ad- 
mired with them many other startling blooms produced this year 
under such baffling weather conditions. 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 morning, and not a word of 
protest was heard when the ballots were counted and before the 
oficial announcement, the whispered word swept over the crowd 
—HANSINA BRAND. 
“Mrs. A. S. Gowen, president of the Minnesota Garden Flower 
Society, grower of the bloom, modestly received the shower of 
congratulations 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 ad- 
miration and thanks to the retiring and modest man who stood 
on the outside of the crowd, the originator of HANSINA 
BRAND, Mr. A. M. Brand, veteran breeder and grower of Fari- 
bault, Minnesota. 
“No wonder, then, that this magnificent flower has been twice 
crowned queen of the National 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. S. Gowen. I congratulate you, 
Mr. A. M. Brand. You are both worthy of the great honor.”

9.0 HAZEL KINNEY (A, M. Brand) 
A delicate clear hydrangea-pink of true rose type. The flower is 
large with broad petals symmetrically arranged. It resembles the 
variety, Myrtle Gentry, in color but does not have the fragrance 
of that variety. The plant is of medium height with clean light 
green foliage. A midseason prolific bloomer. A delicate pink that 
holds its color and form well and one that is not disappointing. 
A Brand Division $1.50
