OUR aristocrats 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 theright 

 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 i9 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." 

 Iris shipped after July 

 1st; Peonies after Sep- 

 tember 1st. Orders for 

 one-eye peony divi-

 tor Lists of both

 son book in broad-

 telligently. Write
