Biographical sketches
There are some difficulties to decide, which breeding is from Brand Peony Farm (inl. O F Brand and A M Brand) on the one hand and Mrs. Ruth H Brandt, because in the registration publications the spelling is sometime Brant, sometimes Brandt or Brand without other indications. Included below are those breedings only, which are compiled in the 'History of the Peonies and their Originations“ and in Bulletin 100.
