8.9 FLANDERS FIELDS (A. M. Brand) 
Red. A few years ago in one of our seedling beds of many varieties, 
we noticed a most conspicuous red. Even from 20 rods distance, this 
brilliant color stood out from ail others. Every year, in every way, 
it has proven a splendid flower. A single of the most brilliant red. 
Two rows of petals surround a large, prominent center of golden 
stamens. Petals of great substance stand out flat; rich and velvety in 
appearance. A Brand Division $3.00 

9.0 KRINKLED WHITE (A. M. Brand) 
First noticeable in the bud which resembles the bud of a pale pink 
Tulip just ready to burst. The bud is comparatively small and beau- 
tiful in effect. As it opens, it expands into a large flower with 
great broad, pure white petals, like crinkled crepe paper. Stems 
tall, straight, slender but strong; clean light green. Award of Merit, 
Des Moines National Show. Especially fine for cutting.

At the National Peony Show held in Guelph, Ont., Canada, in June, 
1948, Krinkled White again won first prize as the best single type bloom 
in the show. 
8.0 HENRI POTIN (Doriat) 
A late china-pink overlaid with rich shadings of salmon. The broad 
guard petals surround a large tuft of filamentous petals gradually 
fading to white with vivid yellow at the tips. We consider this 
one of the best pink Japanese varieties. We have watched the per- 
formance of this variety in our fields over a number of years, and 
we like it as well as Ama-No-Sode. A Brand Division $3.00
