Peterson's Perfect 



PEONY "Specialists" come and — go, but my 

 Peonies continue to lead all others in quality and 

 trueness as they have for the past seventeen years. 



Monroe, N. Y., July 1, 1921. 



"I have ordered peonies from you at different times during the 

 last ten years, or over, and have always found your roots large, 

 strong, and fresh, with big plump eyes. I have never lost a root, 

 and above all, I believe every one has been true to name. I have 

 received roots in the past from half a dozen other firms, but the 

 roots I received last Fall from you were the finest I have ever seen, 

 packed by one who knew how, and reached me in perfect condition. 

 This Spring, although their first year, they all flowered, having 

 blossoms much finer than I had any right to expect on plants not 

 yet established." 



ALFRED J. CRANE 



If you felt more or less discouraged the past two Springs 

 when viewing the damage wrought to plants of various kinds 

 by the unprecedented weather, try the modern Peony. It is 

 the Mark Tapley of flowering plants and will rejoice and 

 triumph under the most trying conditions. 



And, before ordering, send for a free copy of my special 

 Peony catalogue for 1921 which this year illustrates such 

 much-talked-of varieties as Le Cygne, Jubilee, Martha 

 Bulloch, etc. 



NOTE. — Peonies must be planted in the Fall.

We Grow PEONIES — Nothing Else 



WHY WE LEAD 



BECAUSE there are not 2,000,— nor 

 1,000, — nor 500 distinct varieties; but 

 scarcely more than 100; and we have 

 "spiked the guns" of the duplicates 

 at high prices. 



BECAUSE we do not send out a root un- 

 til — regardless of its age — it has 

 bloomed satisfactorily here the spring 

 prior to its going to you. Some of 

 the plants we deliver are three and 

 four years old — with no advance in 

 price. 



BECAUSE our system of cultivation is 

 unmatched in this country. Every 

 root given individual and intensive 

 culture, — as in a private garden. 

 Ask those who have been here. 



BECAUSE of the study of, and devotion 

 to. the Peony alone, — an undivided 

 allegiance. It's significant. 



Your GARDEN is not complete without PEONIES. 



The CEMETERY lot should have them. 



It is easy to select from our 90 choice varieties — limited 

 in number and supreme in color, form, fragrance 

 and vigor. 



"OUR REPUTATION HAS BEEN BUILT ON THE QUALITY OF 



OUR STOCK" 



Distinctive catalogue will be ready August first-
