SST PEONIES 



" I felt as if the heavens had opened and showed me a glimpse of the glories within." That is 

 just what a lady exclaimed when telling about our magnificent Peony farm with over a quarter million 

 plants and more than a million blooms. " When I first saw the Peony field this spring there were by low 

 computation fully one million blooms in sight; they were a revelation. Photography can never ^ivethe 

 color and perfume of these gorgeous blossoms. How large some of them were I dare not say, but a dozen 

 of them made as heavy an armful as most women cared to carry. A convention was in progress in Spring- 

 field (many women in attendance) when the Peony blooms were at their best and several hundred were 

 sent to decorate the stage. It nearly broke up the convention, for when the delegates were convinced that 

 the blooms were really Peonies, and that they might be seen by the thousands at the field, every vehicle 

 to be had was soon on the way to the Peonies." Peonies, are entirely hardy, take care of themselves, never 

 fail to bloom. Insects or disease is unknown among them. You no doubt know the old varieties of Peonies, 

 but these new varieties we offer will be a revelation to you. 

 Se sure and plant liberally, don't be stingy, they will repay you. <J ^, -w^r"
