Plant Peonies in September 



T)EONIES can be and are planted at 

 any time during the spring and 

 fall, but September is the very best 

 time for transplanting them, and if 

 planted then they will bloom the follow- 

 ing June ; if large undivided clumps are 

 planted a splendid display of bloom can 

 be had. Peonies are one of our great 

 specialties, and our list of varieties is the 

 most comprehensive in America. We 

 have now over fifty thousand plants to 

 offer. 



SPECIMEN PLANTS 



Of many varieties we can furnish 

 large undivided clumps at two to four 

 times the price quoted below or in our 

 catalogue. Immediate effects can be 

 obtained by planting these large clumps 

 in September. List of these furnished 

 on application. The finer varieties of 

 Peonies surpass the finest roses in coloring, form and size. They are absolutely hardy and of the easiest culture. They should be planted 

 in deep, rich soil, three to four feet apart. Below we offer a small selection of extra fine and good varieties, but our catalogue contains 

 descriptions of over three hundred sorts. Our price list, the most comprehensive catalogue of Hardy Plants, Trees, Shrubs and Bulbs 

 published, may be had for the asking. Write for catalogue or make order on order blank below.
