Display of 7,000 Peonies 



Sensation at Boston 

 jmmmmm Peony Show ■^■i^h* 



Our display of 7,000 beautiful Peonies, embracing practically 

 200 varieties, was the sensation of the Rose and Peony Show, 

 Boston, June 15th. (See Boston Transcript, June 15-17). 



These Blooms Were Picked in Our Gardens 



only two days previous to the Show. Thus you will readily see 

 that our available supply of plants must be large indeed. 



Our collection embraces over 400 distinct varieties, and in 

 addition, about 



tOO Unnamed Seedlings of Rare Merit 



all of which are the careful selection from nearly 1,000 different 

 kinds tried out in our proving grounds during the last forty years. 



A Visit to Our Gardens during the flowering season will amply 

 prove that we have a larger variety 

 and greater number of the higher grade of Peonies than can be 

 found in any single planting in the entire world. Ask for descrip- 

 tive catalogue — it's mailed FREE.

Our New Hybrid Pyrethrums 



are delightfully charming in color combination. Put 

 same in a sunny spot in your garden and see how the 

 sunlight plays on the prettily curled petals. The 

 delicate color harmony seems to respond to the ever 

 changing light of the late Spring. The lazy wiry 

 stems swaying gently makes these gems ideal for cutting. 

 Remember! we produced these new hybrids after five 

 years' hybridizing and now offer them for the first time. 

 Make sure of getting some by Ordering now.
