9.0 MRS. DEANE FUNK 
: f (A. M. Brand) 
A Walter-Faxon-pink coming into bloom early midseason. The 
flower resembles Phyllis Kelway and is one of the finest of all 
Peonies for use in decorative work in making up large baskets or 
vases“of flowers. A distinct band of golden stamens lights up the 
entire flower and these stamens enclose a rosebud, cup-shaped cen- 
ter of large incurving petals. Magnificent in the show room.

9.1 SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT 
(Dessert) 
Salmon-pink. Color a brilliant rose, slightly tinted carmine at the 
base, turning to a salmon-pink. When this variety first opens it is 
a deeper pink than Walter Faxon, but within a few days the two 
resemble each other very much in color. A most satisfactory va- 
riety and one that always pleases. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.3 SPLENDIDA 
(Kelway ) 
A deep rose-pink slightly tinted lilac. A very tall variety with stiff 
stems, excellent foliage and a very agreeable fragrance. Valuable 
for garden decoration. A Brand Division $1.50 
8.4 STRASSBURG (Goos & Koenemann) 
Flowers very large, loosely built, semi-rose. Petals very large, broad, 
delicate lilac-rose. This German firm has sent out many beautiful 
Peonies, all distinct, but in their entire list this is one of the best. 
Stock of this variety is very scarce. A Brand Division $1.00 
T.E. CARPENTER (A. M. Brand) 
A new flower of ours which we are listing this year for the third 
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 
9.4 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. 
A Brand Division $1.50 


9.3 WALTER FAXON (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

Myrtle Gentry 
Besides the above good pinks we have a very limited number of 
such kinds as Albert Crousse, Berlioz, Auguste Dessert, Lillian 
Gumm, Ruth Brand, etc., which we will include in our Surprise 
Boxes. 
9.1 MYRTLE GENTRY (Brand) 
A beautiful late light pink that gradually fades to almost a pure 
white. The flower is perfect rose form with great broad, nicely 
rounded petals of wonderful substance. Tints of flesh and salmon 
show throughout the petals. The plant is of splendid growth and 
clean appearance. The stems are strong and hold the great flowers 
well above the foilage. The flower has the fragrance of a Tea Rose. 
Our Silver Medal variety. A Brand Division $3.00 
OFFICINALIS RUBRA 
“Grandmother's Piney.” This bright old-fashioned red should be 
in every garden because of its early blooming. As a rule we can 
always cut a few flowers for our Decoration Day trade. It has a 
rich spicy fragrance. A Brand Division $1.50 
7.7 PHILOMELE (Calot) 
A striking landscape variety with bright rose guard petals, enclos- 
ing a center of amber-yellow petals. As the flower develops, a 
crown of bright rose appears in the center. A midseason variety 
of medium size. A Brand Division $1.50 
R. A. NAPIER (New) (A. M. Brand) 
This is a Peony we are especially proud of. After watching its 
performance over a long period in both seed beds and fields, we 
sent out the first roots in 1939. We have always thought a vase of 
perfectly developed Tourangelle was about the last word in Peonies. 
In R. A. Napier we have a Peony of practically the same form and 
color, a Peony that might easily be mistaken for Tourangelle. But 
Tourangelle seldom comes good in Minnesota while R. A. Napier 
is good every year. A Brand Division $5.00 
8.7 REINE HORTENSE (Calot) 
A uniform hydrangea-pink, with guard and center petals marked 
crimson, This is a variety that gives universal satisfaction and is 
both a show and garden variety. The plant is tall with long, stiff 
stems. The flowers are slightly fragrant. A midseason variety. 
A Brand Division $1.50
