Which Would You Grow, 



nut of 800 Varieties?= 



What is it worth to you to learn about the relative merit of 800 different 

 varieties? That is the number I have grown during my 41 years o f making 

 Peonies my hobby and I assure you. there is no greater hobby! All I have 

 learned about Peonies is yours for the asking — gladly! — and no doubt your 

 questions will teach me additional facts. 



May I Help You 

 in Making Selections? 



Give me an idea which colors ap- 

 peal to you and I will gladly sug- 

 gest sorts within the limit of your 

 Peony appropriation. Remember, 

 please, that buying Peonies is an 

 investment! Your capital increases 

 faster than any money in the bank. 

 And because I want more Gar- 

 deners to love Peonies as I do, I 

 have made it a point to offer two Introductory 

 collections. I will send 



8 Named Peonies for $2.50 



or 



15 Kinds for $5.00— All Good 



With Every $5.00 Collection 1 John Richardson Given Free 



You can count on their being fine named varieties 

 (worth much more in catalogue value) because I shall 

 depend on these collections to make of you a friend of 

 Peonies in general and Gumm Peonies in particular. And, 

 lest you forget, this is the month to plant the roots, so 

 please order at cnce. 



Those wishing to get acquainted first with my complete collection 

 are welcome to a copy of my Catalogue offering Peonies exclusively.
