Single and Japanese Peonies (continued) 
LACINIATA 
Bright scarlet. If you wish a Peony that will 
give you bloom about two weeks earlier than 
Officinalis Rubra, you must have this variety. 
It comes into bloom a few days earlier than 
the finely cut-foliaged Peony, Tenuifolia, but 
is distinctly different from the Chinensis vari- 
eties. It is not so hard to propagate as Tenui- 
folia, and we feel that it is just as satisfactory. 
This is a variety that should be in several places 
in your border. Plant with red Tulips for a 
lovely combination. 
A Brand Division $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
LAST ROSE (Sass) 
An exquisite pale pink that comes into bloom 
late in the season. Although late in the season, 
it is sure to open. A recent introduction and this is the first year 
we have had sufficient stock to offer it in our catalog. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
LE JOUR (Shaylor) 
The largest single white Peony. A pure white with great heavy 
petals; center, an immense tuft of golden stamens. Strong, upright 
plant holds the great blooms well erect when the side buds have 
been taken off. This and Krinkled White are the two best white 
singles. Especially nctable because of its pure color, fine substance 
and great size. A Brand Division $3.00 
LETO 
This is the third season we have been able to offer this fine 
Japanese variety. The beauty of Leto lies in the form of the flower 
and also in its color. It is a pure glistening white with prominent 
center of rich deep yellow staminodes. The plant is strong and a 
profuse bloomer. Don’t overlook this new one.

tiful golden stamens. An excellent variety. A Brand Division $1.00

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 seleced 
some years ago as being very unusual. Five 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 
MRS. MAC (Franklin) 
A splendid Japanese Peony brought out by Mr. Franklin. We have 
tried it out some ten years and like it_exceedingly. Very strong 
plant, covered with delicate pink typical Japanese blooms, flushed 
and flecked with deeper tones of pink. A Brand Division $1.50 
NIPPON BRILLIANT (Auten) 
What a splendid name for this fine Japanese variety! We have 
this in our show bed among many other fine reds but this one was 
such a bright red it capped the show. Tall, imposing, and capti- 
vating. A real beauty. A Brand Division $3.00 
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. A Brand Division $2.00

8.7 RASHOCMON (Japan) 
One of the best of the Japanese varieties for 
landscape planting, because of the clean, beau- 
tiful appearance of the plant itself. The large 
glowing rose-red guard petals enclose a center 
of slender staminodes edged yellow and pink- 
ish 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 Roches- 
ter Show as the best red Japanese Peony in a 
class calling for three blooms of one variety of 
red. 
RED WARRIOR (A. M. Brand) 
A very early fine red single that we look for- 
ward to seeing at the opening of the Peony season. The flower is 
extra large and well formed. Stock is extremely limited and we 
shall not be able to list it again for at least two years. 
A Brand Division $3.00 
SOME-GANOKO (Japan) 
One of the best of all red Japs. The large, uniformly shaped guard 
petals are a rich velvety red. The golden staminodes are streaked 
red. A good plant as we!l as a fine flower A Brand Division $2.00 
TOKIO (Japan) 
A large midseason rosy pink with broad rounded guard petals. 
The center is composed of loose staminodes, broad and crinkled,

excellent variety and a much better grower with us than Tamate- 
boku, which we have been forced to discard.

TORO-NO-MAKI (Japan) 
One of the finest of all white Japanese Peonies. It comes into 
bloom midseason. A double row of lilac-white guard petals sur- 
rounds a center of amber-yellow. A very striking variety in the 
garden and as a cut flower. An excellent upright grower.
