Longfellow (Brand 1907) 9.0 Mr. Brand 
has brought out many fine reds, 
but none finer than Longfellow. A 
double, midseason, bright crimson, 
intensified by golden yellow stamens 
near center. Like many reds, it is 
lacking in fragrance. Does not 
fade and is most satisfactory for 
cutting as well as garden decora- 
tion. Medium height, good foliage 
and a a free bloomer. $2.00 
Lora Dexheimer (Brand 1913) 8.4 
Double, type, large midseason va- 
riety. Bright crimson showing a 
light midrib on outer petals. Center 
incurved, concealing a few stamens. 
Medium height, stiff stems, good 
foliage. This is another of the 
good reds Mr. Brand has originated. 
Very bright color or red. $1.50 Philippe Rivoire 

Mary Brand (Brand 1907) 8.7 A large midseason, rose type bloom of dark, clear 
crimson showing a very brilliant sheen with a very few yellow stamens buried 
in the collar. This peony originally sold for $100.00 each. $2.00 
Matilda Lewis (Saunders 1921) 9.0 A very dark maroon red that is well formed 
and fully double. Stems stiff and of medium height, holding the large blooms 
firmly erect. This variety is pleasingly fragrant and a worthy addition to our list 
of red varieties. Midseason bloomer. Foliage, dark green. Very attractive in 
any collection. , ? $2.50 
Mons. Martin Cahuzac (Dessert 1899) 8.8 A maroon and gold creation that excites 
admiration when well grown. Considerable unhealthy stock of this variety has 
been disseminated. Can be grown to a very large size on established plants. 
Sometimes appears semi-double on newly planted stock. The entire flower has 
a silky, black luster that adds to its beauty. Free flowering, erect, stiff stems. 
$1.50 
Mrs. Bryce Fontaine (Brand 1936) 9.05 Double, late-midseason. Rich dark crimson. 
Darker than Longfellow but lighter than Mons. Martin Cuhazac. One of the 
best. $6.00 
Noel (Kelsey 1935) Double midseason. Very large 7 inch blooms perfectly finished 
on extra tall stems. This is a red double as good as many and better than most. 
Size as large or larger than any red double. Color clear, but intense. Stock very 
scarce, and only a limited amount to offer this season. $6.00 
Onondaga (Little 1935) 8.92 A midseason peony that is different. There is a rich 
metallic sheen in tthe coloring that is unique and when the writer first saw it 
some years ago I thought it was the nearest approach to purple I had ever seen. 
A tall growing variety with stiff stems and good foliage. $5.00 
Philippe Rivoire (Riviere 1911) 9.2 Double type, early, midseason. A very dark 
crimson, with a blackish sheen. Flowers are of medium size, but have seen 
them extremely large under special handling. Has the pronounced fragrance of
