 It is, of course, unnecessary to speak in praise of your peony roots or 

 your treatment of your customers. It is a pleasure to deal with you, and 

 I hope your business will continue to grow as it deserves. I wasted quite 

 a neat sum of money in buying peonies from other dealers before I heard 

 of you, and your plants outstrip them completely. And then, too, the 

 others were often not true to name.

 Peonies received along with lots from four other growers. I ordered 

 from the others for the experience, and now have the experience. There 

 is no comparison whatever between yours and theirs.

Peterson's Perfect Peonies 



"QUALITY FIRST" 



This fall you must heed the call of The King of the Garden — 

 the grandest, most glorious flower of them all. 



"PETERSON PEONIES" are world-famed-the standard by 

 which others are judged; and when you do plant, why not plant 

 the best? 



They're the result of 22 years of enthusiastic — yes, loving 

 devotion. For 1 1 years, my time the year round, without any 

 other business interest (true specializing), has been exclusively 

 devoted to this flower and the Rose. 



Much is put into my roots so that you may get much out of them 

 — and get it without waiting. 



Come now! let me make a Peony enthusiast of you. Let me 

 send you my Royal Collection of 12 varieties; one year old roots, 

 $7.50; two year old roots, $13, and if this does not prove far-and- 

 away the most delightful and satisfactory floral investment you 

 have ever made, your money back for the asking. 



"THE FLOWER BEAUTIFUL" 



my annual Peony catalogue, its quality reflecting the quality of 

 my stock, is yours for the asking.

From Maine to California the su- 

 premacy of our Peonies is established, 

 and we have almost doubled our ca- 

 pacity to meet the enormous demand 

 upon us. Scores of letters like these 

 explain it : 



From Philadelphia — "Really, I do not know 

 how to adequately express niy feelings in the mat- 

 ter of the roots that came to-day. They are so 

 disproportionately greater than any I have ever 

 received before from other growers that I sin- 

 cerely regret that I did not know of you before." 



From Chicago — "The Peonies arrived in excel- 

 lent condition. I had previously bought from 

 four different growers and was astonished at the 

 size of the roots you sent.. They are really not 

 roots but elumDs." 



From Sparkill, N. Y. — "If buyers knew the 

 kind of stock you send out as compared with 

 plants sent out by other growers, you could 

 not grow enough stock to fill your orders. 

 Actually your plants are about as heavy as 

 some from that have been planted two 



Those of you who know us, have pretty 

 well made up your minds about the Peony 

 situation — and about us. To those of you 

 ■who do not know us, we've a little story to 

 tell about the upsetting of traditions — the 

 little "revolution" we've been engineering 

 for ten years now.
