(Lemoine) 
Another variety the prevails in the show room. So well known 
it seems unnecessary to say that it should be in every garden. Semi- 
rose type. Late midseason. Color apple-blossom-pink with each 
petal silver tipped. Agreeable fragrance. See color page 8. 
A Brand Division $1.50 
SHAWNEE CHIEF (Bigger) 
An excellent cut-flower red coming into bloom midseason. It opens 
well in the field and has excellent keeping qualities if placed in 
storage. The stems are about 30 inches tall and on well established 
piants you may expect from 12 to 20 flowers. In the bud this fine 
red resembles a Rose. A Brand Division $2.00 
SIR JOHN FRANKLIN (Franklin) 
A late red resembiing Philippe Rivoire in color and coming into 
bloom at about the same time. The flower is true rose type with- 
out stamens. Mildly fragrant. Excellent plant with glossy foliage.

THERESE _ (Dessert) 
Very large; somewhat loosely built; long, narrow pointed petals. 
Plant of medium height with strong stems. Usually produces large 
typical flowers, even on 1-year plants, if they are allowed to bloom, 
Early midseason pink, fading toward the center, and illumined by 
a golden yellow glow in the depths. A supreme flower for exhibi- 
tion purposes. A Brand Division $3.00 
TONDELEYO (Lins) 
This is a new dark pink that was introduced in 1940 at the 
National Peony Show held in Rochester, Minnesota. Here it was 
recognized by the seedling committee for its deep pink color of un- 
usual fire and brilliance. It has continued to grow in favor. The 
plant is tall with an abundance of foliage, coming into bloom late 
midseason. Immediately spotted in the field or show room. A great 
addition to the class of deep pinks. A Brand Division $6.00 
VICTORY CHATEAU THIERRY (A. M. Brand) 
A clear bright pink, gradually fading to a lighter pink. The flower 
is large, with immense, broad, evenly arranged, rounded petals of 
great substance; plant of medium height with strong stems that 
hold the large, cup-shaped blossoms well erect. We consider this 
one of our very best originations but it comes into bloom so early 
that you seldom see it in the show room. 
A Brand Division $5.00 
WALTER FAXON (Richardson) 
One of the most vivid of all pinks, a real pink. Very much the 
same coloring as Mrs, Livingstone Farrand. A remarkable flower 
in the show room. The flowers are of medium size, attractive in 
form, and mildly fragrant. The plant is of medium height with 
good stems and foliage. We heartily recommend this variety to 
anyone who is looking for a fine pink. See color page 10.

OLDER STANDARD VARIETIES 
Many people who visit our nursery are interested in having Peonies of 
good color in their gardens, but they are not particular about varieties. 
They are more interested in the color than in names. We have a number 
of good standard Peonies in the older varieties that we feel will meet the 
needs of this particular group. For this reason, we are listing here some 
good Peonies, giving the color and season of blooming.

When you figure the cost of your Peonies, not according to 
the price per root, but according to the size and beauty of 
bloom—the quality and quantity of yield—then you will find 
that no other Peonies cost so little as those which are grown 
from “Brand Divisions.”
