SURPLUS LIST FOR FALL OF 1904. 



These varieties bave all bloomed on our place and are true to name and not at all mixed. The sizes given are as follows : 



Small are plants of one or two stalks of this year's growth. One year since divided. Kedlnm are plants of three to Ave stalks of this 

 year's growth. Two years since divided. Jbarg'* are plants of six or more stalks of this year's growth. Three years since divided. 



Customers wishing a few plants we refer to our illustrated retail catalogue, where full descriptions are given. Not less than ten plants 

 of a kind can be ordered at the prices given here. 



The larger sizes can be cut for division on a basis of three good plants to each five stalks. Any peony plant is much surer to bloom and 

 will be 20 per cent, stronger if moved in Settember, so that new roots may foim before freezing down. This gives a great advantage to home- 

 grown stock over imported plants, which invariably come too late. These prices are also for larger plants than are usually sent from Europe 

 and are. in fact, lower than the same varieties can be bought for in Europe. Besides, we guarantee our atook tme and will replace 

 with three any plant which proves not true to name. 



We begin shipping early in September when orders will be filled in rotation. We make no charge for packing. 



We also issue a list of fifty other sorts of which we have only a few plants to offer ; sent free on request.
