FLANDERS FIELDS (A. M. Brand) 
A few years ago in one of our seedling beds of many varieties, we 
* noticed a most conspicuous red. Even from twenty rods distance, 
this brilliant color stood out from all others. Every year, in every 
way, it has proved 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 are rich and velvety in 
appearance. A Brand Division $3.00 
8.7 HARRIET OLNEY 
This variety is one of the very earliest of our singles to give 
color to our fields, It opens a deep rose but gradually changes to 
a soft rose-pink. The plant is medium tall with straight, stiff stems 
which hold the flower ‘well erect. A very fine landscape variety. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
8.4 L’ETINCELANTE 
[22] 
(Brand) 
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 varieties. It is not so hard to propagate as 
Tenuifolia, 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 $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
(Dessert) 
A very large dark pink single with guard petals decidedly cup- 
shaped. Plant is tall with stiff stems. An excellent landscape va- 
riety. A Brand Division $1.50

petals are a blush-pink dotted deeper pink. An attractive flower.
