Hans P. Sass (H. P. Sass 1939) 9.19 Mr. Sass has brought out some outstanding 
peonies, and when he selected one to bear his name it is quite evident it must 
have been désirable in every way. <A very large, late, rich satin blush-white, 
suffused shell pink, illuminated with an inner glow that is indescribable with 
words. Must be seen to fully appreciate its beauty and refinement. A very 
consistent and free bloomer. $5.00 
Hazel Kinney (Brand 1925) 9.0 Double type, large midseason variety. Light, fresh- 
pink, with broad petals symmetrically arranged. This is cne of the thirteen 
($50.00) peonies introduced by Mr. Brand in 1925. A very charming variety. $2.50 
Henry Avery (Brand 1907) 8.8 This variety has always been interesting to us. A 
double type, large, late. Guards and well defined crown a: bright, light pink 
with a collar of creamy petals tinted yellow at base, Mild, pleasing fragrance. 
Good stems and foliage. A very attractive and lovely creation. $1.50 
James Boyd (Thurlow 1919) 8.9 Double type. Large and late. Flesh-pink, tinted 
cream and buff in center. Blush white with age. Delighful fragrance. Upright 
habit with stiff stems. A very good peony. $1.50 
Judge Berry (Brand 1907) 8.6 Very large and double, light-rose pink of an even 
shade with flesh tones in center, brightened by vivid ye.lcw stamens in center 
and collar of flower. Medium height. One of Mr. Brand’s very good introductions 
but due to its early blooming season, rarely seen at peony shows. Slight 
fragrance. $1.50 
Katharine Havemeyer (Thurlow 1921) 9.0 Double type, large midseason. Color is a 
light rose-pink with a tint cf old rose, Mild rose fragrance. Average height, 
excellent stems and very floriferous. Awarded Certificate of Honorable Mention, 
London, Ont., June 16, 1922. $2.50 
Lady Alexandra Duff (Kelway 1902) 9.1 A lovely creation, much admired in any 
planting. To get very satisfactory results, do not disbud too generously, as the 
lateral buds will greatly prolong the season of bloom. Of course, if they are 
_ desired for show purposes, they must be disbudded. Blooms are borne in 
clusters, and with smaller, saucer shaped side flowers. Stems strong; foliage 
abundant. Very artistic. $1.50 
La France (Lemoine 1901) 9.0 This variety, originated in 1901, still holds a perma- 
nent place in mcst peony plantings. A late, very large double, clear, light pink, 
shading a deeper tone toward center of bloom, with crimson splashes on some 
of outer petals. Very good foliage, with strong stems holding the huge flowers 
erect. A good show flower and for years was to be found in the winning classes. 
It occasionally achieves that distinction at present exhibitions when well grown. 
$1.25 
Lake O’Silver (Franklin 1920) 8.1 Double type, light pink, silver tipped, giving a 
shimmering effect in the breeze that gave it its name. Golden anthers prominent 
throughout the flower. Central petals dark pink. Very good landscape variety. 
ae $1.50 
Laverne Christman (Brand 1925) 8.91 We believe this variety should have a higher 
rating. When Mr. Brand made his outstanding display of $50 peonies at the 
National Peony Show in St. Paul, Minn., in 1923, Laverne was given the liberty 
of selecting one to bear her name. She chose this variety, which resembles a 
very good Therese in color, form and general makeup, but comes into bloom 
much later in the season. A large flower of rose type, loosely formed, with 
long, broad petals. In color it is a deep, rose-pink, shading lighter toward the 
edges. Plant tall and vigorous. A flower of much grace and refinement in 
structure. Stock rather limited. $3.00
