White Varieties
Frances Willard (Brand).  9.1.  White.  This variety is listed among the World’s 22 Most Beautiful Peonies.  It is a perfectly-formed flower.  The petals are of varying sizes, forming a very large rounding flower, often having a raised cup-shaped center inclosing golden stamens.  It opens an exquisite blush white, with an occasional carmine touch, changing on the lawn to pure white.  Although delicate in appearance, it is of good substance and an excellent cut flower.  Altogether, it is a wonderful combination of strength and delicacy.  It is found in the winning classes in every show room.

A Few of the Newer American Varieties
Many of the recent and widely advertised peonies have come from the West. Mr. Brand, of Faribault, Minnesota, made the production of new varieties his great specialty. Out of thousands of seedlings, grown in a wholesale and most interesting way, he has selected and placed in commerce about fifty. Of these, Frances Willard and Martha Bullock remain, in my opinion, his best.
Frances Willard (Brand, 1907) is very fine. In addition to the pearliness of its delicate cream-and-blush coloring it has the strength of growth which makes it valuable. The stems are stiff, upright, and able to support the large and lovely flower. The foliage is clean, ample, and ornamental. The roots increase well, and rejoice the heart of the gardener. Altogether it is satisfying and I count it as one of my favorites.
