CORNELIA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A very late light pink that gradually fades to an almost pure white 
with a greenish tint at the base of the petals. The plant is strong 
with tall stems that carry the flowers erect. Although a late va- 
riety it opens well and we consider this in a class with Georgiana 
Shaylor. A Brand Division $2.00 
DR. CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM (New) (A. M. Brand) 
This variety was named for Dr. Graham, who was so long identified 
with the early history of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota. 
Here is a large late white in season with Marie Lemoine. It is a 
rich creamy white absolutely void of stamens. The plant is tall, 
with medium green foliage and strong stems. The flower is large, 
loosely built, with large guard petals enclosing a center of smaller 
lacy petals. There is an occasional trace of carmine on a petal, but 
not flecked like Festiva Maxima. The general appearance of this 
late flower is that of a large, very creamy white, the Kelway’s Glor- 
ious type. We consider this a real acquisition to our short list of 
good late whites. It is absolutely a first-class variety and also a late 
variety. It is a loose type and will open well.

EDULIS SUPERBA (Lemon) 
This is the first good deep pink. It sometimes opens for Decoration 
Day with us in Minnesota. The flowers are large, borne profusely 
on tall, strong stems. A loose, crown type flower, of a beautiful 
deep pink. One of the greatest of all cut flowers in its color and 
season. The flower deserves a much higher rating and should be 
planted because of its earliness and general good qualities.

ELLEN FOSTER (New) (A. M. Brand) 
A medium tall growing variety with good plant habits and clean 
foliage. Rose type blooms of good size, large, broad, deep petals 
of almost uniform light flesh-pink flushed delicate lavender. A new 
variety of great promise. Selected by many of our visitors last 
season as the best flower in our show room. This choice sort of 
dainty pink is really a top notch variety. A Brand Division $5.00 
FANNY CROSBY (Brand) 
An early yellow Peony with pink guard petals that is growing in 
favor more each year as it becomes better known. The plant is 
strong, thrifty, and very floriferous. The side buds come into 
bloom with the main flower and if left on the plant they make a 
wonderful showing. A Brand Division $2.00 
FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse) 
A deep rose-red showing no stamens. Consists of a central bomb 
of incurved petals surrounded by broad, prominent guard petals. 
A good all-purpose late red, the same type as the early red, 
Richard Carvel. A Brand Division $1.00 
FIREBALL (A. M. Brand) 
This is one of our new seedling Peonies difficult to classify as to 
color. It is not a real red and neither is it a pink. Probably a 
brilliant Tyrian rose will best describe it. The flower is early, of 
medium size, semi-double, and for color extremely effective in the 
garden. It is not a show flower and is not for indoor use, but as 
an outdoor variety it is a knockout. A Brand Division $2.00 
GEORGIANA SHAYLOR (Shaylor) 
A large, late midseason light rose-pink with pleasing fragrance. 
The petals are very broad with guard and outer petals slightly 
splashed crimson, The plant is medium tall and of sturdy habit. 
One of the very best of Mr. Shaylor’s introductions. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
HANS P. SASS (Hans Sass) 
Mr. Sass has given us some of the finest Peonies we grow. He gave 
this one bearing his own name, which goes to show how much he 
thought of it. It is one of the really fine Peonies and one will 
not make a mistake in choosing it. A late, very large flower borne 
on tall strong stems. The color is a clean refreshing blush-white 
deepening to a shell-pink in the center. A Brand Division $5.00 
JEAN COOPERMAN (A. M. Brand) 
An early midseason even toned soft crimson-red coming into bloom 
a few days after Richard Carvel. The flower is of good size and 
pleasant fragrance. It is semi-rose in form, made up mostly of large 
petals nicely arranged. An annual and profuse bloomer. A fine 
show flower and, we believe, a coming red for the commercial cut 
flower trade. A Brand Division $3.00 
JOANNE FOREMAN 
I . (A. M. Brand) 
One of our newest introductions that we think 
more of the 
longer we have it. A large late flower with long narrow pointed 
petals. A very brilliant bright deep pink. We feel sure when 
this variety is better known, it will be even more popular than 
our Martha Bulloch. A sure-to-please deep pink.

JOSEPHINE HOPE HEALY (A.M. Brand) 
Flower named for the daughter of John Healy of St. Paul Park, 
Minnesota. John Healy and A. M. Brand were neighbor boys from 
the time they were born until they were some 16 years of age. 
They swam, played, fished, and fought together during all those 
years. Josephine Hope Healy is a full rose flower with great broad 
nicely rounded petals. Petals are of great substance and the color 
a very fine, even medium bright pink. We believe this a real 
Peony. A Brand Division $5.00 
JUBILEE (Pleas) 
A very large, flat, ivory-white. The petals are long, narrow, and 
loosely arranged, producing a very attractive feathery effect. Every- 
one familiar with Peonies knows that Jubilee is a fine flower. 
Its only defect is a weak stem, yet one can well afford to support 
such a beautiful flower. A Brand Division $1.00 
JUDGE BERRY (Brand) 
This is a fine delicate pink coming into bloom with that very early 
deep pink, Edulis Superba. Its attractive, large flat flowers are of 
excellent color and texture. Coming at the beginning of the Peony 
season, when most varieties are of small or medium size, this im- 
mense flower has a peculiar distinction, and will be wanted by every 
Peony buyer who wishes a really good early light pink.

KANSAS (New) (Bigger) 
This is a new bright red that comes into bloom early in the Peony 
season. The plant has unusually strong stems and excellent foliage. 
The flower is full double with a few hidden stamens. It is a good 
show flower as well as a good cut flower. American Home Medal.

KANSAS AS MR. BRAND OBSERVED IT IN NEW YORK 
Last June at the request of Mrs. Harry F. Little, I went to Mr. Little’s garden 
Camillus, N. Y., to check with her Mr. Little’s Peonies, Mr. Little having 
sscd away the fall before. This was a collection of some 2,500 plants, planted 
d cared for by one of the finest Peony men that ever lived. 
We checked and labeled every plant in this entire collection.
