Plant Peonies in September 



PEONIES can be and are planted at 

 any lime during the spring and 

 fall, but September is the very 

 best time for transplanting them, and if 

 planted then they will bloom the follow- 

 ing June; if large- undivided clumps are 

 planted a splendid display of bloom can 

 be had. Peonies are one of our great 

 specialties, and our list of varieties is the 

 most comprehensive in America. We 

 have now over fifty thousand plants to 

 offer. 



SPECIMEN PLANTS 



Of many varieties we can furnish 

 large undivided clumps at three to live 

 times the price quoted below or in our 

 catalogue. Immediate effects can be 

 obtained by planting these large clumps 

 in September. 



The liner varieties of Peonies surpass 

 the finest roses in coloring, form and size. They are absolutely hardy and of the easiest culture. They should be planted in deep, rich 

 soil, three to four feet apart. Below we offer a small selection of extra fine and good varieties, but our catalogue contains descriptions of 

 over three hundred sorts. Our price list, the most comprehensive catalogue of Hardy Plants, Trees, Shrubs and Bulbs published, may 

 be had for the asking. Write for catalogue or make order on order blank below.
