FARIBAULT, MINN. 
T. E. CARPENTER (New) (A. M. Brand) 
A new flower of ours which we are listing this year for the second 
time. A medium sized flower composed of large, nicely rounded 
petals neatly arranged in perfect circles, and possessing great sub- 
stance. The color is similar to that of the great Solange, a pure 
ivory with a yellowish tinge. A superbly balanced flower. From 
our long study of this flower, we believe it will prove one of the 
coming great Peonies. A Brand Division $5.00 
TOURANGELLE (Dessert) 
A delicate pearly white, suffused with shades of delicate salmon 
and La-France-rose. The flower is rose type and comes into bloom 
late in the season. The plant has a weak stem but the coloring of 
the flower is so unusual that it is admired by all who see it.

SN & 
(Dessert) 
Very large; somewhat loosely built; long, narrow, pointed petals. 
Plant of medium height with strong stems. Usually produces large 
typical flowers, even on l-year plants, if they are allowed to bloom. 
Early midseason pink, fading toward the center, and illumined by 
a golden yellow glow in the depths. A supreme flower for exhibi- 
tion purposes. A Brand Division $1.50 
(Richardson) 
The most vivid of all pinks, the only “real pink” as someone has 
said. A remarkable flower, at its best in the show room. The flow- 
ers are of medium size, attractive in form, and mildly fragrant. 
In the fields it does not hold up as well as Souvenir de Louis Bigot 
but in the show room it tops them all. A Brand Division $1.50 
SINGLE AND JAPANESE TYPES 
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 an 
artistic value different from the double form. 

Besides the Single and Japanese types listed on this page, we 
have a number we were unable to list on account of space. We 
will send you five varieties, our selection, a total value of $7.50 
or more, for $5.00, postpaid.

oids, tipped gold. Center carpels greenish yellow tipped pink.

A single of the most brilliant red. Two rows of petals surround a

flower that does not fade in the sun. 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.

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

We feel sure our Surprise Boxes of either of the two offers on this 
page will prove satisfactory. 
SURPRISE BOXES 
An Offer You Cannot Afford to Pass 
For several seasons we have offered what we termed “Surprise 
Boxes” of Peonies. We have decided to make this same offer 
again this season as this is a good way of disposing of all the 
roots we have in storage in small quantity. We have never had 
a complaint from any of our customers who have received these 
boxes, but we have had many compliments. 
All the roots that we send out will be labeled correctly and of 
sufficient size to give bloom this spring if planted early. We will 
do our best to give you an excellent assortment. 
We will place in each box from 3 to 5 roots with a total value 
of at least $10.00. All roots will be taken from those we are 
offering this spring, including a few of those we had left over 
from our fall sales in quantities too small to list separately. We 
may be able to include A. J. Davis or perhaps a few other reds 
until these are exhausted. But on the whole the collections will 
consist of light and deep pinks. Tell us how many roots you wish 
up to five. 
Take advantage of our offer and get a fine box of Peonies. 
At least a $10.00 value for $7.50, postpaid. 

COMPLIMENTS ON OUR SURPRISE BOXES 
Charlotte, N. C., May 27, 1941. 
“I received the Surprise Package of Peony roots in fine shape and 
truly they are SURPRISE PACKAGES. I am just thrilled to have 
such a@ lovely collection and I never would have gotten it any other 
way. I’m sure you couldn't have sent them to anyone that will en- 
joy them more or be more appreciative of their beauty. I feel very 
fortunate to have sent my order just when I did. We have an ideal 
climate and soil for Peonies and I can hardly wait to see these 
bloom. I thank you very much.” MRS. D.J.C.
