Miamisburg, Ohio, June 3, 1908. 
Peonies purchased from you have done splendidly 
and all prove true to name, which is a great satis- 
faction to me, I assure you. 
At this moment I have half a dozen Marie 
Lemoine on my desk, which are enough to put life 
and cheer in the most desolate spot on earth or 
wherever placed. 
You certainly have my best wishes, and if you 
keep sending the grade of stock you sent me, you 
will soon have no need of advertising, as you will 
have an army of customers doing it gratis. 
I enclose order for five dozen of your best 
varieties for a friend. S. E. WATERS. 
THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
A Garden Like This Is Yours 
inmelnne=scveny lune it 
you act now—this fall 
[VE a story to tell you about Peonies—the modern 
Peony—-the most wonderful flower of our day. 
Conceive of a flower as hardy as an oak, as easy to 
grow asa sunflower; free of insect pests and diseases; one 
that increases itself annually—and you have The Peony. 
Conceive of a flower up to four feet and more in 
height—up to eleven inches across, yet as delicate as 
afose—— 
Conceive of a flower with a range and combination of colors that 
the brush of a master would despair of imitating—with a rich and 
varied perfume that a Gallet, a Colgate would envy—and you have 
the modern Peony—The Peony of Today. 
What wonder then that hundreds of people who come here 
annually to see Roses, stay to worship The Peony as they behold 
the marvelous creations of Crousse, Calot, Mechin. 
Why continue to spend money annually on flowers that pass 
away with the winter’s breath, simply because they seem cheap. A 
peony once purchased, need never be duplicated, it will duplicate 
itself annually as long as you live—and longer. 
I want you to know not only of the merit of the Peony, but of 
this business which is the outgrowth of years of passionate amateur 
devotion to the Peony and the Rose until, today, it stands supreme 
—without a peer for quality and reliability. 
Let me send you “(be Flower Weautiful”’ for 1908. It tells 
you the whole story, with prices, and is a gem of the printer’s art. 
Beautifully illustrated in half-tone from my own flowers. 
Write for it now—today. It’s mailed on request.
