Mohican Supremacy 



Scores of letters like these: 



From Cordova, Ala. — <! The Peonies ar- 

 rived yesterday and I want to thank 

 you for sending me such magnificent 

 clumps. I have ordered three and four- 

 year old plants from other growers, 

 which were nothing like as large as 

 these." 



From Bethlehem, Pa. — "I have ordered 

 Peonies this fall from thirteen different 

 growers, and those sent by you are far 

 and away the largest and best of all. 

 They have overtempted me to send you 

 this second order." 



From Washington, D. C. — "The Peonies 

 reached me promptly. I was simply 

 amazed at the size of the roots. I had 

 already dug the holes for them but 

 found I had to dig them more than 

 twice as deep and wide. Before I saw 



your catalogue. I had ordered from , 



and last year I ordered from , 



and while the latter were satisfactory, 

 they were nothing like the size of 

 yours." 



There are lots of POOR Peonies; why not have the benefit of really 

 expert advice? Our fame is nation-wide; everywhere the supremacy 

 of our Peonies is established. It is because we are specialists in 

 a sense which possesses a REAL value and significance; that is

Peterson's Perfect Peonies 



Are the Best 



They're the result of 25 years of 

 enthusiastic, yes — loving devotion to a 

 hobby that has grown into the greatest 

 direct-to-planter business of its kind 

 in the world. 



And "there's a reason." 



My roots not only look good upon 

 arrival, but they produce results and 

 produce them at once, as evidenced by 

 letters opposite and of which we liter- 

 ally have hundreds. 



The severity of last Winter, destroy- 

 ing as it did, many other varieties and 

 species of plants, only served to show 

 one of the Peony's strong points — it 

 laughs at 40 below zero. 



And do you know how amazingly 

 the Peony has been developed — per- 

 fected? 



My special Peony catalogue, mailed 

 free, tells you the whole story.

The Peonies J got from you last Fall 



were certainly the best that I ever had 



and they all bloomed this year. I 



shall want some more this Fall. 



ARTHUR SOERGEL. 



Seboomook, Maine, July 8, 1918. 



The Peonies you shipped me last 

 Fall are doing splendid — all are pro- 

 ducing nice large blooms six inches 

 in diameter. It is THE flower for 

 this cold country. 



FRED. G. HOFFMAN. 



Washburn, Wis., Oct. 17, 1917. 

 The Peonies arrived to-day. I have 

 been buying Peonies for years, but 

 never got such fine strong roots for 

 the money. I will certainly recom- 

 mend your Peonies. 



A. P. ERASER. 



Hamburg, N. Y., August 10, 1916. 

 The Peony roots purchased of you 

 were the finest roots I ever saw. This 

 year they all bloomed and the beauty 

 of them surpassed my expectation by 

 far. People came to see them from 

 near and far and went into raptures 

 over them. It is by far the finest 

 collection in Hamburg.
