What an Expert Says About "Festiva 

 Maxima" Peony 



Mr. Fr. Bahr. of HiKhland Park. 111., recognized as an 

 authority on matters horticultural, says as follows: 



"What a wonderful variety Peony Festiva maxima Is 

 for the florist! To my mind we haven't anything to 

 beat It, no matter what the color or size, and If you are 

 going to make up a list for planting out this fall, which, 

 by the way. Is really the best time of the year to plant 

 Peonies, don't overlook Festiva maxima. As far as I can 

 find out. this wonderful Peony was offered by Mlellez In 

 1851, and has been 'queen supreme' ever since. I had 

 the pleasure of seeing a field of it in bloom at a nursery 

 In Ohlcago, What a sight— blooms almost eight inches 

 across, with over four- foot stems! Of all the many 

 other varieties in bloom at the same time surrounding 

 it none of them impressed me as much. You cannot 

 invest in anything that will bring better returns. There 

 are the flowers, which, when well done, bring good 

 prices, and the plants will increase In value from year 

 to year. I don't know of anything one could plant 

 which would pay better. Therefore, if you intend 

 planting out one thousand plants this fall, order seven 

 hundred Festiva maxima." 



Ne'ws Note 



[From The Review, Issue of Oct. 13, 1910.] 

 "Large numbers of florists wlio grow for their own 

 retail trade are this season planting patches of Peonies 

 of the better cut flower varieties." 



(Enougfh Said) 



The "up-to-date" florist who has a piece of spare 

 ground is planting Peonies* They are not only ex- 

 tremely useful as cut flowers, but there is also a good profit 

 in selling the roots to your customers, and which invariably 

 insure a standing advertisement for you in other lines. We 

 have just received a large consignment of the grand variety
