OUR artistocrats of spring flowers— the PEONY and 

 the IRIS— have been for a third of a century under 

 the unceasing, loving and specialized care of the Peter- 

 son's, father and son. Peterson's Peonies and Iris are 

 in a class by themselves — strong, hardy and vigorous. 

 Noted for their brilliant hue, coloring and fragrance. 

 Where intelligent selections are made a gorgeous, 

 artistic effect is produced by either Iris or Peonies. 



Peterson's Master List of Peonies 



We have concentrated our efforts on a select number 

 of standardized varieties best known to and in demand 

 by the peony fancier — quality varieties recognized as 

 the sure-to-bloom, large flowering kind, with well de- 

 veloped root and eye system. Peonies are easy to grow 

 when properly planted at the right time and in the right 

 soil. Success with the Peterson peony in every variety 

 listed is assured if planting directions are followed. Our 

 judgment as to the most desirable varieties has been 

 recently confirmed by the rating ballot of the Peony 

 Society, all of which are explained in thorough and 

 comprehensive detail in the Peterson book. It is hand- 

 somely illustrated, contains a fund of valuable informa- 

 tion and every peony lover should have it. It's free 

 for the asking. Several valuable specimens not yet rated 

 are also included. You see we keep in advance, con- 

 stantly presenting something new, when we find the 

 merited article in the form of a new peony. 



Peterson's Master List of Iris 



Will assist you in a selection of these remarkable 

 flowers, classifying, as they do, colors, seasonal bloom- 

 ing period and fully describing each kind aud variety. 

 We offer in addition to the varieties yielding the high- 

 est ballot in Iris some as yet not generally known. 

 This is true of both our 

 Peony and Iris Master List 

 Selections. 



Peterson's Unique Guar- 

 antee as applied to both 

 Peonies and Iris states 

 emphatically "We will 

 replace with three any 

 plant blooming not true 

 to description."

 1st; Peonies after Sep- 

 tember 1st. Orders for 

 one-eye peony divi- 

 sions must be re-

Iris, Iris and Still More Iris! 



They call me "Iris mad" and the only thing I am "mad" about is that 

 I can't grow more than I do. The most fascinating part of it all is the 

 creation of new sorts, with nature's aid. And to enable you to get ac- 

 quainted with Iris as I know them, I herewith repeat my June offer. 



Thousands of New Seedlings — Order NOW 



Every year I have thousands of seedlings — good ones, but not sufficiently distinctive 

 to be given a name. To clear the ground, I dispose of them soon after blooming. 

 Early orders we often filled with as many as 50 different kinds. Your chance to get 

 some beautiful and unusual Iris at $6.00 per 100 not prepaid. Shipment during July, 

 but "first come, first served." 



Please ask for illustrated catalogue describing all of my hardy plant specialties. 

 Prices on most varieties of named seedling Iris have been greatly reduced.
