Purchase Your Peonies from TRUE Peony Specialists 



A BIT OF EVIDENCE 



From Batavia, N. Y.: " I purchased a large number 

 of Peonies from you last fall and I wish to tell you how 

 superb they are * * * I have bought Peonies from other 

 growers but yours are the choicest I have." 



From Philadelphia: "A judge of Peonies who saw the 

 blossoms in June could hardly believe they had been 

 planted the September before * * * I will say, too, 

 that one half of my bed of Peonies were purchased of 

 another grower — equal space, same advantages, planted 

 on the same day ; and except in a single instance they 

 were not to be compared with yours." 



From Baltimore, Md.: "The Peonies arrived in splen- 

 did condition, and for that reason together with 

 the fact that they were so much larger than any 

 heretofore received by me from other growers, were 

 highly satisfactory." 



From Sparkhill, N. Y.: The Peonies came in fine con- 

 dition and I wish to express my thanks to you for 

 sending me such a fine lot of plants. If buyers knew 

 the stock you send out as compared with that sent 

 out by some of the other Peony growers, you could 

 not grow enough stock to fill your orders. Actually 

 your roots are about as heavy now as some of those I 

 had from that have been set two years." 



From Ardmore, Pa.: " I am so well pleased with the 

 twenty-two Peonies just received from you, that I 

 send the enclosed order for twenty more that I had 



intended placing with . The stock from 



cannot compare with what you sent me in any 



way. Your roots are two to three times larger ; had 

 four times as many eyes, and your packing was done 

 in a very intelligent manner. 



We are the only extensive retail growers of Peonies exclusively in America. This 

 one flower has our undivided time and attention, devotion and study. We are thus 

 specialists in a sense which possesses a real value and significance.
