You Can Have Beauty 

 and Fragrance, Too 



I have studied this matter for years, and find that many 

 of our most beautiful Peony varieties are as desirable for 

 their fragrance as for their beauty. 



There is no reason why your Peony planting should not 

 yield both beauty and fragrance. And it will if you make your 

 selections from my 1 922 Peony catalogue with that thought 

 in view. For the descriptions are complete and dependable. 



You can also work out any color scheme which ap' 

 peals to you. My two hundred varieties, more or less, in' 

 elude every shade from snowy white to deep maroon. 



Still another possibility. You can prolong the peony sea- 

 son for nearly a month by selecting for a sequence of bloom. 



In short, my catalogue will help you to enjoy peonies 

 more fully than you ever have thought 

 possible — free for the asking. Write 

 for your copy to'day. 



What 



about Conifers? 



While your grounds are still in full leaf, 

 you can accurately weigh the relative effects of 

 both evergreens and deciduous trees. Have you 

 enough conifers with their interesting foliage and 

 rich variety in coloring? 



Plan to fill any blank spaces from the fine 

 stock growing here. Your choice of 11 varieties; 

 sizes up to 25 feet. All have been frequently 

 transplanted, causing the root systems to form 

 compact growths close to the trunks. Such trees 

 stand transplanting and thrive anywhere. 



Write for Catalogue describing Ever- 

 greens. Shade Trees, Fruit Trees, and a 

 large list of Iris, Phlox and other Per' 



ennials for Fall Planting. My Favorite Evergreen
