The Garden Magazine, September, 1921 





Did You Miss the Treat 

 "Last Month"? 



^ It may justly be considered selfish when a man considers a book he 

 writes a treat to others. Hence, it is only due Henry S. Cooper, Peony 

 Fan of Kenosha, Wis., that the suggestion concerning his book in last 

 month's advertisement did not come from Mr. Cooper himself. 



^ The writer of this advertisement has before him a score of unsolicited 

 testimonials embracing the country from Maine to California and from 

 Canada to the Gulf, every one of them being outspoken in admiration 

 for Mr. Cooper's "Tips and Pointers for Beginners with Peonies." Few 

 pieces of advertising literature have made such a remarkable "hit" as 

 this splendid, and yet dignified, but modest book on Peonies. 



1& This is the month to plant Peonies. Mr. Cooper's book is intended to 

 help beginners. It tells how to plant and what to plant for specific 

 results. It gives unbiased opinions on Peonies from a man who admires 

 them all, grows many, and is enough of a business man to play no 

 favorites. Such a book cannot help but find appreciation, even on the 

 part of a connoisseur of Peonies. 



*I There are still a few copies of this book, which, upon the adv. man's 

 suggestion, Mr. Cooper is reserving especially for readers of the Garden 

 Magazine. I am sure he will be glad to send you a copy if you apply 

 promptly and mention where you saw this adv. 



Address: HENRY S. COOPER, Peony Fan, Kenosha, Wis.

Do you ask stronger evi- 

 dence, read this: 



403 Perfect peaches on 



4 year old tree. 



Mr. C. E. Strawbridge, of 

 Lima, Ohio, writes us under date 

 of August 25, 1920, as follows: 

 "On April 10, 1916, I set out one 

 of your new Rochester Peach 

 trees. Last year we picked 5 

 peaches from it, each averaging 

 the size of an average tea cup. 

 THIS YEAR WE HAVE PICKED 

 EXACTLY 403 LARGE PEACHES 

 FROM THIS ONE TREE. Many 

 people have seen this tree, and 

 can hardly believe their own eyes. 

 One of its admirers was Post- 

 master J. E. Sullivan, who wants 

 me to put him in touch with the 

 "FELLOWS WHO HAVE SUCH 

 TREES FOR SALE." 



TREES planted in Spring, 1918, bore 150 to 200 peaches past summer. 



THE EARLIEST YELLOW FREESTONE PEACH KNOWN 



"Rochester is greatest money making peach in the world"— Statement 

 by large orchardist. 



Originated in Rochester, New York, tree is a strong, upright grower, 

 has stood sixteen degrees below zero and produced a full crop, while the Elberta 

 and Crawford, under the same conditions in the same orchard, produced 

 no blossoms and consequently no fruit. 



Mr. Yarker, Greece, N- Y., who has an orchard of 500 trees, reports 17 peaches picked in 

 August from a tree planted the previous spring. 



Mr. C. M. Thomas, 215 W. 40th St., Savannah, Ga., purchased a Rochester 

 Peach from us last February and picked the first fruit in July.

This is the "divine" 

 Sarah Bernhardt, 

 BUT— 



It does not portray half the love- 

 liness of this real Peony which, in / 

 color, shape andgeneral char- 

 acter ranks among the love- ^/m Ml \ 

 liest of our Peonies. Forforty „JH 

 years I have followed the lure 

 of the Peony. During that 

 time I have literally tried out 

 and studied thousands. In 

 every case I have found that ^^™ 



Pictures Don't Do Justice 



since no artist has ever succeeded 



in capturing the real character of 



the flowers. The same I can say for 



the printed word. It falls flat when 



compared with the real thing. All 



I can suggest is, start to grow Peonies and you ^^ 



can not help but love them forever after. Here are
