In loveliness of form and colo 

 Peonies appeal to all.

FARR'S GOLD MEDAL PEONIES 



Awarded the gold medal of the American Peony Society at the annual 

 exhibition in Cleveland, 1918; New York City, 1916; Chicago, 1914. 



DEONIES are the aristocrats of the hardy garden, yet are so 

 *■ democratic in their habits that they thrive and bloom in the 

 humblest garden as well as when under the care of the expert. 



Few, if any, flowers give so great a return for so little care. When 

 the plants are well established they form a permanent feature of the 

 garden, a collection of rare peonies becoming a tangible asset which 

 increases in value and beauty from year to year. 



Peonies thrive over a wide range of latitude. A customer in Quebec, 

 who has many rare varieties, writes that "though the temperature fell 

 to sixty degrees below zero, not a single plant was injured." Another 

 friend in Alabama says that his Peonies "cannot be surpassed by any 

 in the north," while an equally enthusiastic gardener at Los Gatos, 

 California, writes, "my Peonies are fine, Baroness Schroeder has 

 thirty-two blooms; Adelaide Hollis has eleven and Therese, which 

 you sent me last year, is in fine shape." 



Twenty years ago the lure of the Peony drew me so strongly that 

 I began to assemble the great collection now at Wyomissing Nurseries. 

 Since then many amateurs have come to know what the modern 

 Peony really is and have recruited their increasingly valuable groups 

 from Wyomissing where there is now in existence the most complete 

 collection in the world. 



Peonies in addition to the joy they give to our gardens, can be 

 made to contribute to present day needs. They are indispensable 

 for Memorial Day, which has now a greater significance for us. 

 They aid the Red Cross, for a single day's sale of blooms by the 

 Wyomissing Chapter netted more than could possibly be reaped 

 from any other products on the same garden area. The Soldiers 

 and Sailors Canteen Club of Cleveland received over #2,000 from 

 the sale of the blooms shown at the Peony Society's exhibition 

 last year. 



In order that everyone may have a collection of extra choice Peonies, I have selected twelve varieties, which I offer at an extremely low 

 price to those who will mention Garden Magazine when they send the order.
