Peony Specials 



The peony with its beautiful bloom and del- 

 icate fragrance will grace any spot, whether sim- 

 ple lawn or elaborate country estate. Its Foli- 

 age is clean and attractive, and its flowers are 

 noted for their magnificence and elegant grace. 



The month of September is the most ideal 

 season of the whole year for moving Peonies. 

 They start into growth so early in the Spring 

 that they must be moved in the Fall or the 

 whole of next season's bloom will be sacrificed. 



In order to encourage the readers of the Garden Maga- 

 zine in the growing of superior soits of Peonies we are of- 

 fering our Dollar Collection, consisting of six splendid va- 

 rieties in assorted colors, at a very attractive price. 



Dollar Peony Collection 



Charlemagne — Lilac white, 

 with slight blush center; 

 delicate in color. Midsea- 

 son. 



Ductless de Nemours — 

 White, with sulphur tint: 

 fragrant; cup-shaped bloom. 



Delachei — Violet crimson; 

 very large and full. Mid- 

 season. 



Festha Maxima — Paper 

 white, with crimson mark- 

 ings, and splashes in center; 

 large and full. Early. 

 Queen Victoria — Compact 

 white, with center petals 

 sometimes tipped with car- 

 mine. Midseason. 

 Seabrere — Deep rose pink, 

 almost cherry; large, very 

 double flowers; free bloomer. 



The set of six. If purchased separately, would cost 

 $2.50. We send them In strong divided -roots all for 

 91.00, postpaid. 



Peonies in Separate Colors 



The majority of these are really high-priced, named varie- 

 ties. Of some, we have only a few — too few to catalog 

 them separately; of others, we have a good many but not 

 enough to make their propagation worth while. They are 

 really fit for any fancier's collection. Many rare shades 

 of pink and red, also white. Dozen $1.50, 100 for $10.00 

 • — by express at buyer's expense.

My stock of Lilies, 

 Irises, Paeonies and in 

 fact all hardy peren- 

 nial plants is better 

 than on average years. 

 We have had rains and 

 hot weather which 

 make strong stock. 



My Autumn Supplement, 

 which is read}' about the middle 

 of August, has a long Bargain 

 List of the surplus stock which 

 will be an inducement to those 

 who have room to plant liber- 

 ally. You can't afford not to see my spring 

 and fall lists before placing your orders. 

 Prices are much lower than the average deal- 

 ers', while the stock is first quality. 



Ask for Autumn Supplement and my spring 

 catalogue if you do not already have it.

 has selected for this edition the poetical works by which he wishes to be represented. 

 Included are the favorites from " Service Songs," the " Barrack Room Ballads," etc. 

 The present edition is designed for a gift book. It is bound artistically in limp brown 

 leather, and boxed.
