white enclosing a*dome center of petals tinted yellow. General 
effect a creamy yellow. A Brand Division $1.00 
LULU STRONG (A. M. Brand) 
Single mottled pink. We have always thought a great deal of the 
mottled pink variety, Marguerite Dessert. In Lulu Strong we have 
a somewhat similar flower but the mottling is more pronounced. 
We think it a better flower. A Brand Division $3.00 
MANKATO (A. M. Brand) 
A beautiful pure white with very rich texture. The petals, which 
appear in two rows, are nicely rounded and wonderful in form. 
There is a great golden center of stamens with green carpels 
tipped pink. Very upstanding, medium height. An excellent flower.

MAN O’ WAR (A. M. Brand) 
An exceedingly bright red with a great deal of scarlet in its color. 
The guard petals enclose a very large center of intensely rich yellow 
stamens. The stems are strong and erect. When the plant is well 
established, each stem carries a large flower. The plant is so covered 
with these large blooms that the foliage is hardly visible. This is 
a new variety. A Brand Division $3.00 
MELLEN KNIGHT (A. M. Brand) 
A bright rich crimson coming into bloom midseason. The plant 
is tall with strong stems that hold the flowers erect. The petals are 
long, narrow, and evenly rounded on the edges. A good single red. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
MIDWAY ISLAND (A. M. Brand, 1945) 
A new Japanese type Peony of our origination which we selected 
some years ago as being very unusual. Four years ago when Mr. 
Peyton from Rapidan, Virginia, was looking through our fields we 
called his attention to this new variety. This was just after we 
administered a good trimming to the Japanese on Midway Island, 
and we thought the name “Midway Island” appropriate for this 
new Peony. It is a strong growing variety with medium to large 
flowers. Prominent white guards, slightly flushed pink, surrounding 
a mass of creamy, wiry staminodes. A Brand Division $5.00 
MIKADO (Japan) 
A tall midseason variety of medium size. The cupped petals are of 
a deep rich crimson. The center is composed of thick staminodes 
stained dark rose-red, edged throughout their length and tipped 
buff-yellow; carpels pale green. A very tall floriferous variety with 
erect stems. Exceedingly brilliant. Excellent for garden decoration. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
OHANAGASA (Origin Unknown) 
A violet-red, unlike any other Japanese variety we list. An attrac- 
tive variety that commands attention in the field as well as in the 
show room. A Brand Division $2.50 
OWATONNA (Brand) 
A most outstanding single. The plant is tall, the stems are strong 
and the blooms, which are very large, are held erect. Two rows 
of immense guards enclose a great center of rich yellow stamens. 
Green carpels tipped rose. The color is a brilliant medium pink 
which lasts long in the sun. An outstanding single with great 
substance and great beauty. Each $3.00 
PRAIRIE AFIRE (A. M. Brand) 
A beautiful new Japanese, first offered by us in 1932. A vase of 
Prairie Afire exhibited by us 
at the Des Moines Show was 
the sensation of the show. 
Prairie Afire is a new and en- 
tirely distinct break in color 
in Japanese Peonies. The 
guards are broad and a soft 
creamy rose 
with good sub- 
stance. These 
surround a 
great ball of 
brilliant fiery 
red stamin- 
odes. The flow- 
er should be 
eut in the bud 
and developed 
inside when

PRESIDENT LINCOLN (A. M. Brand) 
The great red single. Of the many 
single reds that we have tested out, 
this is unquestionably the best. A tall 
variety with strong, stout stems. Flow- 
ers large for a single, held straight up. 
Two rows of brilliant red petals of 
most perfect form surround a very 
striking center of rich yellow stamens. 
Holds its color well in the sun. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
At the Rochester Show in the class calling 
for three blooms of one single variety, this 
Peony won Ist prize with six entries. In the 
class for a collection of ten or more single 
varieties, one bloom each, there were seven 
entries—we took Ist prize in this entry and 
President Lincoln was one of the varieties 
of our entry. It was also in the collection 
that won 2nd prize. And best of all, in the 
Court of Honor Class, this fine single was 
awarded “Best Single in the Show.” 
Taken from the Peony Bulletin, Sept. No., 
1941, Mr. Peyton of Rapidan, Va., writes: 
“President Lincoln was the best red in my 
garden. Its large ruffled flowers of a dull 
dark red were sensational.” 
PRIDE OF LANGPORT 

(Kelway) 
A dainty flower of brilliant, soft peach-pink coming into bloom 
midseason. The plant is tall, floriferous, with thin, wiry stems and 
abundant foliage. The plant blooms in clusters and is a very dec- 
orative garden plant. 
RASHOOMON (Japan) 
One of the best of the Japanese varieties for landscape planting, 
because of the clean, beautiful appearance of the plant itself. The 
large glowing rose-red guard petals enclose a center of slender 
staminodes edged yellow and pinkish buff. The plant is medium 
tall with strong stems and flowers freely. A beautiful flower. 
A Brand Division $2.50 
This variety was awarded Ist prize at the Rochester Show as the best 
red Japanese Peony in a class calling for three blooms of one variety 
of red. 
RED WARRIOR (A. M. Brand) 
In going through one of our seed beds some 15 years ago we were 
attracted by a large, deep, well formed, single red which came into 
bloom exceedingly early. We selected it out and have had it under 
test ever since. It is our earliest good single red and is a large and 
very fine flower. You will like it. A Brand Division $3.00 
SCHWINDT (Goos & Koenemann)

great clusters of flowers if not. disbudded. A decorative garden 
variety. A Brand Division $1.00

staminodes. This is one of the good strong growing varieties of this 
type. Everyone seems to like it. A Brand Division $1.50
