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 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 $3.00 
JOANNE FOREMAN (A. M. Brand) 
One of our newest introductions that we think more of the longer 
we have it. A large late flower with long narrow pointed petals. 
A very brilliant bright deep pink. We feel sure when this variety 
is better known, it will be even more popular than our Martha 
Bulloch. A sure to please deep pink.

JOSEPHINE HOPE HEALY (A. M. Brand) 
Flower named for the daughter of John Healy of St. Paul Park, 
Minnesota. John Healy and A. M. Brand were neighbor boys from 
the time they were born until they were some 16 years of age. 
They swam, played, fished, and fought together during all those 
years. Joesphine Hope Healy is a full rose flower with great broad 
nicely rounded petals. Petals are of great substance and the color 
a very fine, even medium bright pink. We believe this a real 
Peony. A Brand Division $10.00

[ 
(Lemoine) 
A large flower, nicely rounded, with great broad petals beautifully 
arranged. Comes into bloom midseason. Color a soft even shade 
of creamy pink. In our opinion, this flower is not fully appreciated. 
We feel that it is one of the choicest of all Peonies and should rate 
well above 9.0. From our first observation of the flower, this has 
been our constant impression. We exhibited La Lorraine at the 
National Peony Show held at Rochester, Minn., in 1940, in the 
class calling for “10 blooms of 1 variety in white or flesh-pink.” 
There were 16 entries in this class and we won first prize with 
La Lorraine, Mrs. J. V. Edlund won second in this class, and Mrs. 
Frank Beach won third. A Brand Division $1.50 
(A. M. Brand) 
This flower resembles Therese in color, form, and general make-up, 
but it comes into bloom much later in the season. It is a large 
flower of rose type, loosely formed, with long, broad petals. In 
color it is a deep rose-pink, shading lighter towards the ends of the 
petals. The plant is tall and vigorous. It received an Award of 
Merit of the American Peony Society, St. Paul, 1923.

Quotations from December, 1943, Peony Bulletin 
ELLA CHRISTIANSEN is another Peony which should be in every planting. 
HANSINA BRAND in my opinion is also one of the top-notchers. 
MARTHA BULLOCH always seems to do well, but I especially like the bloom 
before it fully opens. 
MRS. JOHN M. KLEITSCH produced some of the finest flowers in my gar- 
den this year. 
MRS. J. V. EDLUND is another Peony which in my opinion is here to stay. 
It combines fragrance, form, size, and good plant growth. 
REV. H. TRAGITT gives a good account of itself in my garden.
