New Peonies Originated by A. M. Brand
In 1923, at the St. Paul-Minneapolis National Peony Show, we exhibited about twenty of our new peonies.  These seedlings were all varieties selected by us in 1920 from our trial beds. [...] The judges told us after the judging was done that it was the greatest exhibit of new peonies ever staged anywhere by an originator.  These seedlings were awarded the Society’s Gold and Silver Medals, the Gold Medal going to the variety Mrs. A. M. Brand, a great white, and the Silver Medal to the variety Myrtle Gentry, a delicate pink. Several awards of merit were also given.
...In this collection of Seedlings appeared the following varieties:
Mrs. Romaine B. Ware (A. M. Brand 1925).  Pink.  This is one of the most delicately beautiful peonies ever sent out.  It was first selected from the seed bed because of the striking beauty of its form.  It has a true rose bud effect in the center and the petals radiating from this in peculiar fashion give a pleasing and striking effect to the entire bloom.  On my trip East this June on returning from the National show at Boston I stopped overnight with my good friend Harry F. Little.  Mrs. Romaine B. Ware was in full bloom.  Of this wonderful flower Mr. Little said, “I think this one of the daintiest of all peonies in its perfect beauty.”  The flower is exquisitely delicate.  It is medium size and of rose type.  The plant is of medium height and a very profuse bloomer.  Mid-season, fragrant.
