EONIES can be and are planted at 
any time 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 five 
times the price quoted below or in our 
catalogue. Immediate effects can be 
obtained by planting these large clumps 
in September. 
The finer 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.
