Peony Buying Simplified 



TN issuing a condensed list of the best 

 fifty medium priced Peonies we feel that 

 we are rendering home gardeners a timely 

 service. To choose from nearly iooo 

 varieties with any degree of satisfaction 

 is impossible except to elect few. Price 

 is not always a safe guide either, since a 

 fifty dollar Peony could not possibly be a 

 hundred times more beautiful than a fifty 

 cent variety. The most expensive sort in 

 our special list costs $1.25. 



Fifty Distinct Iris 



all medium priced 



Twenty cents buys as good an Iris as Two 

 Dollars or Twenty. We decided years ago, that 

 we would make our bid for business on a pop- 

 ular price basis. The price does not affect the 

 quality of our roots and plants, however, — that 

 quality must satisfy the buyer or we want to know. 



Please write for our special Iris and Peony 

 folder TO-DAY.

Franklin's 

 Seedling Peonies 



One of the most prominent peony connoisseurs 

 in this country possessing a collection of nearly 

 one thousand varieties, writes us as follows: 



"Mabel L. Franklin was a prize with us this year 

 and has no reason to apologize for her position 

 among the aristocrats of our garden." 



June Day, W. F. Christman, Ball O'Cotton 

 and others fully described in our new catalogue 

 are in the same class. These varieties should 

 be in every fine collection. Write for catalogue.

HORSFORD'S HARDY LILIES 



And Cold Weather Plants 



This new Regal Lily is the finest novelty that has been 

 offered in years. Our Hardy Perennials, Wild Flowers, 

 Iris, Peonies, Hardy Ferns, Vines, Shrubs, and Trees 

 which we grow here have always given satisfaction 

 when properly set. Trees and Shrubs that we have 

 found tender in severe winters have been discarded 

 from our lists. Ask for our Autumn Supplement and 

 Fall Price List before making up your list of wants.
