LIVINGSTON'S SPECIAL PAEONY BARGAINS 



For a number of years we have grown on our "True 

 Blue" Farms a choice collection of named Paeo- 

 nies. Of some sorts, we have only a limited 



number — too few to permit them being 

 / listed in the catalog. Of others, \^ 

 . we have quite a number, but lack 

 H of space in catalog forbids 



„«£>} to list them. Growing a 

 ^ small number of these sorts 

 V makes an endless amount 

 of work, so that we have 

 decided to reduce our as- 

 sortment and close them 

 out at bottom prices. Among these will be 

 found many rare shades of pink, white and 

 red. Many high-priced, named varieties 

 are included, so that this mixture would really 

 prove a most welcome addition to even a fancier's collec 

 tion. It will pay anyone to buy these in quantities. 

 Prices:— Each 20c; dozen $1.75; 100 for $12.00; 1000 for $100.00 



Paeonies in Good Mixture 



Nothing is "cheap" about this mixture except the price. Contains all colors ranging from deepest — ^ 

 crimson shades to pure white and includes many of the best varieties. You will not be disappointed in 

 results if you should decide to invest in these remarkably cheap priced roots. 



Prices: $1.00 per dozen; 100 for $8.50; 1000 for $75.00

Macatawa 



A New Blackberry 



Originated 1909-10 by Mitting. A cross between the Giant 

 Himalaya Berry and the Eldorado blackberry. Came through 

 last winter without any freezing, and produced a heavy crop 

 this summer. Berries large as biggest dewberries, very black, 

 sweet, no core, few seeds. Can ship now. Plants $1.10 each 

 by mail, or $5.00 per 6 by express collect. I accept no orders 

 for more than six plants. 



"Fine — Largest I Ever Saw" 



"At your place two weeks ago I was much pleased with the 

 Gardens, especially with the outlook for a big crop of Giant 

 Himalaya Berries and with the new Blackberry, Macatawa. 

 I think those Macatawa Berries were the largest I ever saw, and 

 the flavor certainly was fine. Last spring I set out 500 Giant 

 Himalaya Berry tips, and nearly all are growing fast — some 8 to 

 12 feet. This looks good to me." Lee Towelson, Michigan, 

 Aug. 5, 1912.
