PLANT PEONIES NOW 



Fall is the best time to pi ant them, and the earlier it is done the better. You 

 will then have a good display of flowers next spring. There is no other plant 

 that will give you such an attractive display and supply of flowers for cutting. 

 When once planted they practically take care of themselves. Don't wait until 

 spring if you want blossoms next year. 



For one dollar we will send prepaid to any address in the United States or Canada 

 one each of our First Prize White, Pink and Red varieties. Extra large three year old 

 clumps, one each for .£2.00 by express (not prepaid). Three of each color for $5.00.

MOON'S EVERGREENS 



ARE RENOWNED FOR EXCELLENCE OF QUALITY 



'Tis Time to Plant Them Now 



The thrifty, vigorous ap- 

 pearance, the shapely form 

 and splendid root system 

 that the tree pictured here 

 has, shows the reascn that 

 MOON'S EVERGREENS 

 have the enviable reputa- 

 tion that they have. 

 Each tree is carefully and 

 properly grown and must 

 pass a high standard of 

 inspection before we will 

 ship it. 



There is some Evergreen in our 

 stock for every purpose that 

 may arise in planting a lawn. 

 Quantities of large handsome 

 specimens which we have been 

 years in producing will give 

 grand immediate effects. 

 Write for our illustrated Horti- 

 cultural ArtBook that describes 

 and lists our Evergreens and 

 hundreds of other hardy Orna- 

 mental plants that we have for 

 Autumn planting.
