As I Grow Fcfttiva Maxima 



An Announcement 



So long as the puny, often diseased 

 and wrongly-named, foreign- 

 grown Peony roots were dumped 

 on our market, I contented myself for 

 the past fifteen years in having the 

 biggest and highest grade direct-to- 

 planter Peony business in this country. 



Now that a new, and, I am sure, bet- 

 ter era is opening for American flori- 

 culture, I am going to make a bid for a 

 share of the best trade business as well. 



The Peony has been a hobby of mine 

 for twenty-five years and for the past 

 fifteen years my time, the year round, 

 has been devoted exclusively to this 

 flower and the Rose. 



I like to deal with particular and ap- 

 preciative people, as I am particular 

 myself to almost "fussiness." And 

 it's just this particularness that has 

 brought my Peonies to such a state of 

 perfection that a careful, daily examin- 

 ation last June showed that we did not 

 have more than one mixture or mis- 

 named Peony to every 20,000 plants. 



Three European nurserymen who 

 visited my fields last June ^expressed 

 amazement at the uniformly strong, 

 clean growth of my plants, as well as 

 the size and abundance of bloom. 

 They frankly told me that they had 

 never, anywhere in this country or 

 abroad, seen the Peony grown on a 

 large scale to such a degree of perfec- 

 tion. 



For the past fifteen years I have pub- 

 lished annually the leading exclusive 

 Peony catalog. The edition for this 

 Fall is now ready and will be sent on 

 request, together with a trade price- 

 list if you will but mention this pub- 

 lication. 



My divisions this fall will be taken 

 exclusively from two-year and three- 

 year-old clumps. These were propa- 

 gated and planted while wages were 

 still nearly normal. In consequence, 

 our prices are lower this Fall than they 

 probably will be in many years. 



Now — this Fall — is the time to plant.
