More and more do Americans turn to gardens for rest and recreation. 

 To work among them spells rest from the daily worries, an accumula-

 constructed as carefully as your home. Men and women who

The Lure of Peonies! 



PEONIES — always a prime favorite — are now more 

 than ever in their glory. To'day we have Peonies 

 of a greater delicacy and range of color and of larger 

 size than the old days ever knew. Now there are varieties 

 with the entrancing fragrance of the rose. But the old 

 virtues of hardiness, freedom from enemies, and persistent 

 blooming in the face of adversity still remain intact. 



Their charm, fragrance, and color are irresistible — true aristocrats of the 

 garden! And no matter how small your lawn, you can have Peoniesl 

 They glorify any garden as with a touch of royalty, and they have few equals 

 as cut flowers — they keep well and are so generous with their showy petals 

 and their delicate perfume. 



The following collections are offered for Autumn planting only, for Spring 

 planting of Peonies is not recommended, as the plants start growing so early 

 it is often impossible to ship them dormant. These collections comprse 

 only standard varieties, — favorites because they represent the Peony in its 

 most beautiful form.
