PEONIES 
SHOULD BE PLANTED NOW 
Fall is the best time to plant them. ‘The earlier it is done the better —the more 
certain you will be of having a good display of flowers next spring. 
There is no other plant that will give such an attractive appearance to the home 
grounds, nor one that will supply such an abundance of, or more desirable flowers for 
cutting. Once they are planted they practically take care of themselves, and are no 
trouble. They can be massed in solid beds, planted singly, and are also well 
adapted for planting in borders. 
These grand plants are one of our leading specialties and we grow the 
choicest sorts in large quantities. We also have a very complete line of other 
choice, hardy plants and shrubs that should be planted in the fall for best 
results. 
Remember, if you want plenty of flowers and good effects next spring you must 
do your planting now. 
Write for our Catalog of Peonies and all the choice, hardy plants, shrubs and bulbs for 
fall planting. With each copy of our Catalog we send free a copy of “ Plants and Plans for 
Beautiful Surroundings”— a book full of valuable information, illustrations of flowers and beau- 
tiful lawns.

BEE BOOK 
Such a handsome cover in gray and lemon yellow! Here’s a half-tone 
cut of it. The inside matter is absorbingly interesting from the hive on 
title page to the commutation ticket on page thirty-two. It gives pictures of 
_ Mr. A. I. Root in 1865, in 1873 and in 
 & : 1905. Also productions of Gleanings in 
Bee-Culture when it was first started in 1873 
(Vol. 1, No. 4) and a recent 1906 number. 
The book is full of pictures. Its title is 
“‘Bee Line to Profit.’’ The booklet gives 
dozens of reasons why bee-keepers or other 
persons who love bees and honey, should 
subscribe to 
Gleanings in 
Bee-Culture 
The eleven editors headed by 
A. I. Root and E. R. Root have 
each a page devoted to his picture 
and a short biography and de- 
scription of his department. These 
ea editors make the strongest battery 
of writers on bees and honey to be found anywhere. 
This 32-page book should be in your hands. It’s free. It will be 
promptly sent on receipt of your request. A postal will do.

it—the sooner you get in touch with us the better. It will take at least three weeks 
or so for preliminary correspondence, plan-making, etc., then six weeks more for the 
factory to turn out and erect the greenhouse. That brings it the last week in Novem- 
ber, with all the winter before you for vegetables planted from seed and the growing 
to bloom of the plants you can get from the florist. 
We have a booklet called ‘‘ How to get started with a snug little greenhouse,’’ that 
gives a lot of condensed common sense told in an almost interesting way. It will 
answer many of your questions—we will answer the rest. Send 5c. in stamps for 
this booklet.
