For a 



third of a century 



we have specialized in 



high production on two early 



summer flowers best suited for garden and 



home beautification — the PEONY and the 



IRIS. We have confined our efforts to the 



best leading standardized varieties known to the 

 Peony fancier — varieties of quality, the sure-to- 

 bloom, large flowering kind, full of life and vigor, 

 with a strong, hardy, well developed root and eye 

 system. We have established an enviable reputation 

 for superior quality in the production of these better 

 varieties and our unusual service to our customers 

 has proven most helpful to Peony and Iris growers. 

 Our recognized leadership in quality production is 

 based upon experience and a love for flowers. Our 

 judgment as to the most desirable varieties has 

 recently been confirmed by the rating ballot of both 

 the Peony and Iris Socie- 

 ties, which are included 

 our descriptions. 



Iris 



Our confidence is 

 supported by attest- 

 ing satisfied custom- 

 ers of long standing 

 sending us repeat 

 orders yearly. Or- 

 der now to insure 

 varieties wanted 

 and plan to plant 

 at the proper sea- 

 son. 



A special word 

 should be spok- 

 en about our 

 tall, bearded Iris, 

 beautiful in form, texture 

 and color as are orchids, and many of 

 them delightfully fragrant. They grow well in any 

 soil, but do best in a well drained location. PETER- 

 SON'S MASTER LIST OF IRIS will help you in the 

 selection of these wonderful flowers, classifying colors, 

 seasonal blooming period and fully describing each 

 kind and variety. We offer not only all the varieties 

 that have received the highest ballot in Peonies and 

 Iris, but even some as yet not generally known, in- 

 cluding a large list of single and Japanese Peonies. 

 PETERSON'S UNIQUE GUARANTEE, as 

 applied to both Peonies and Iris states emphatically 



"We will replace with three any plant 

 blooming not true to description" 



iris shipped after July 1st; Peonies after September 

 1st; orders for one-eye Peony division must be 

 received before October 1st. Peterson's way to suc- 

 cess is described in our new book containing Peter- 

 son's Master List of Peonies and Iris, illustrating the 

 wonderful combination of color effects which may 

 be had by proper intelligent selection — handsomely 

 illustrated in colors, containing instructions and 

 other helpful information — sent free to flower lovers 

 — it's different. Write for it.

ome Interesting Facts 

 On Owning 

 i our Own Greenhouse 



Every mail brought us such a number of requests concerning 

 the countless things about owning your own greenhouse, that 

 we finally prepared a booklet on just that subject. Further- 

 more it is called, "Owning Your Own Greenhouse." In it 

 are a goodly number of the less large houses. Many of them 

 are considerably smaller than even this one. Ones that will 

 come well within the means of many who never suspected it. 



What is four or five thousand to spend for something that will 

 give you endless satisfaction and untold pleasurements all 

 your life! 



Don't lose sight of the fact that although the flowers are 

 abloom outside now, frost frowns are only a few short months 

 away. 



So it's none too soon to start building your greenhouse if 

 you want to have a perpetual summerland of flowers next 

 winter. 



Send for the booklet. "Owning Your Own Greenhouse."
